PRIMITIVES

Through art history the notion of what constitutes the primitive has had an underlying effect on various aspects of cultural production. We define the primitive as characteristically depicting an early state with regards to civilization, or even an early stage of evolutionary development. The term primitive also pertains to geological, linguistic, as well as theological associations. The definition also continues to pinpoint societies characterized by low-income levels and non-industrial social systems. It is within the framework of attempting to define the term Primitives that Robin Rhode has developed his latest exhibition, his fourth solo presentation at the gallery.
