There has never been enough written about Margaret Kilgallen (1967—2001). And everytime there is an exhibition of her work, either in a solo context or with the works of her husband Barry McGee, there is literal magic in the room and a curiousity of considering of the immense impact she had on the art world but how singular that world she created truly was. There has never been anyone like her and still no one even remotely close to her ideas of form, aesthetic, story and material. EndPages, a new look at her work at V1 Gallery, reconsiders and illuminates some of the elegant and rawness of her use of "material, language, and form." This show looks at her use of typography, her intimacy with paper, all coming from and influenced by her time at the San Francisco Public Library. She learned book restoration there, which, in so many ways, speaks to how she was dedicated to restoring time, to look at the endurance and delicate nature of handmade objects. As the gallery notes, "EndPages refers to the first and last pages of a book, often worn, stained, or torn, which Kilgallen painted on using reclaimed materials," and this show highlights these qualities up close and personal. What she dedicated her practice to is what we need so much now: to consider the beauty of time and the elements of life that are often overlooked. —Evan Pricco
