The publication Chronic Monochrome  focuses on the eponymous series of some 30 near-white works from 2021-2022, that artist Tirzo Martha presented at the Museo di Kòrsou and at his studio Fruteria Bashí  on the Capriles Clinic site. The works were created after the artist was admitted to hospitals in Colombia and Curaçao in 2018 following a heart infection, and also mark a turning point in Martha's oeuvre. A selection from this series was also on display in his solo exhibition Intensive Care  at museum van Bommel van Dam (April 13 - August 4 2024). Authors Adi Martis and Rob Perrée elaborate on the themes in this series and its position within Martha's oeuvre in their contributions in the book. In an intimate interview, curator Sjors Bindels talks to Tirzo Martha about his position as an artist in the Netherlands and Curaçao.
