Daniel Buren gave clear specifications for the arrangement of these canvases. There were two options, either they would be exhibited on two walls facing each other, or specifically ordered on a single wall. The arrangement of the canvases is intentional and autonomous, as they are not meant to be separated. The correlation of colors and arrangement of frames causes a conflict, which is to intentionally avoid any impression of structure. This shows Buren’s attempt to challenge the traditional gallery, and make an image that creates conflict within its own parts but also the works around it.
