You may know Henry Codax from the giant monochrome paintings exhibited under his fictitious name by an anonymous collaboration of other art world denizens who got the character from a novel published by another fictitious artist and gallerist run by a corporation.
But now at Everybody, a gallery in Tucson Henry Codax is revealed to be an artist who does all that by showing paintings of QR codes that link to a monochrome webpage. It is at once a breakthrough, and a continuity, decoding what this project has been about all along.
