Committee has covered the walls of their Gallop Gallery in what they call "extreme tiling." It looks as if they cleaned out someone's warehouse, and while that is certainly better than having it go to the landfill, I just don't understand this installation as an aesthetic statement. While ceramic tile is my favorite functional finish, I suppose this falls into the category described by Ambrose Bierce as: "the art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic."
