Synopsis:
The Roman Opalka exhibition in the Polish pavilion at the 1995 Venice Biennale unveiled the latest stages of a unique endeavor launched in 1965. Three decades ago, Opalka decided to represent time by painting numbers on the canvas. He began with the number 1, and has progressed consecutively, currently hovering around the five million mark. In 1972, he decided to add white pigment to the gray background of each new canvas; since the numbers themselves are white, he hopes to finally paint in white against a white ground.
