Black cube art museum

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Essay-like article unimproved and unsourced for 10+ years, no clear evidence that this term is in wide circulation for this phenomenon. —Kusma (talk) 14:06, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, it appears to be a Neologism and not a common term I've ever come across before in the art world. I can't find any evidence online (unlike "White Cube") that convinces me otherwise. None of the galleries listed in the article describe themselves as "black cube" galleries. Sionk (talk) 15:11, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect to white cube gallery. I found this paper to attest that the concept has received some scholarly attention, but not enough to merit a stand-alone article. More like a couple sentences in the white cube one, contrasting the two forms.  Kncny11  (shoot) 15:53, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @Kncny11: I'd be happy with this as an ATD if there is a second scholarly paper using the term. From the article you cite, I can't tell whether the term was invented by the author of that paper, and I see no evidence that it has caught on. —Kusma (talk) 18:54, 13 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Note I actually started this article years ago under CDM1500. "Manasseh, C" used the term often in his lectures and I made it for an assignment while in his class. I believe he uses the term in other scholarly works but I don't know if this page should remain if it's a term not used outside of scholarly contexts. There's also now an actual museum called "black cube" which may cause confusion. —CDM1500 (talk) 04:25, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * the author's other works
 * black cube


 * Delete I am unable to find evidence beyond the article Kncny11 cited that this is a type of gallery that exists and is discussed as such in reliable sources/ Star   Mississippi  20:55, 13 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Although an infrequently used term, there is increasing use, especially with digital mediums becoming prominent. User:Asandersgrant User talk:Asandersgrant 14:43, 14 June 2021 (BST)
 * scholar text example
 * That's the same article Kncny11 found, so we still have exactly one source. —Kusma (talk) 13:48, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
