The Protagonist
Press Release
Text by Isaac Benigson
On this 25th anniversary of the incorporation and trademarking of the Belmacz name comes The Protagonist, a refractive group show – the exhibitionary embodiment of what the composite word alludes to. (‘Bel’ from de Maupassant’s Bel Ami, ‘ma’ an abbreviation of the Latin maximus, and the letter combination of ‘cz’ found in Slavic languages).
