The show gathers over sixty works by the American painter, who held that a painting has to be seen in person. His mostly white, square-format pieces draw attention to paint texture, brushwork, the support and how each work hangs on the wall. Visitors are invited to look slowly at the similarities and differences between works and at how they respond to the light and space around them.

Mohri’s commission for The Curve combines light, sound and kinetic sculpture with objects drawn from the Barbican. Her work typically pairs ordinary things, from umbrellas and feather dusters to apples and xylophones, with unstable forces such as magnetism, humidity, air, water and gravity. The installation keeps changing in response to the gallery’s atmosphere, taking up entropy, transience and renewal in step with the Barbican’s current renovation.
