Playing on the Gertrude Contemporary's street frontage and stage-like structure, Polo will further explore the wall painting as a performance of working and re-working of a problem where the site, materials and scale operate in opposition. Polo intends to ‘solve’ and ‘re-solve’ the painting, which will remain in continuous flux throughout the exhibition period.
