Peter Halley exhibition
Date: 22.03.25-25.05.25
Location: Palma. Mallorca
Peter Halley is an American artist and one of the main figures of neo-geometric conceptualism. He became famous in the 1980s for his abstract geometric paintings inspired by urbanism, digital technology and postmodernism theory.
The square, which had an almost religious significance for artists like Kazimir Malevich and Josef Albers, is ironically transformed in Halley’s works into a symbol of prison cells and communication channels. His compositions, reminiscent of microchips and flow charts, anticipated the digital age, where society simultaneously experiences both systemic isolation and total interconnection. Using bright fluorescent colors similar to the glow of screens, Halley established himself as one of the most daring and experimental colorists of our time.
This exhibition will be the first Peter Halley retrospective since the Queen Sofia museum dedicated an exposition to him in 1992. It includes his whole career – all the way from 1985 to 2024. The museum selected twenty of the artist’s works from the spanish collections to present in Mallorca. Halley himself took park in designing the exposition.
