«Should fibreglass. laminates and low-relief concrete or metal wall panels count as mural? The intention of constructivist artists was to break away from the conventional definition of a mural. In the 1950s Richard Hamilton and Victor Pasmore made the Newcastle University Department of Fine Art a place for progressive education and created a joint installation called An Exhibit, 1957, at the Hatton Gallery, consisting of coloured panels hanging in space. Th[is] was a reversion to the ideas of van Doesberg in the 1920s, an immersive environment of a kind that prefigured the shift from murals to other ways of introducting art into specific spaces.» (Artmonsky et al., 2013, p. 78)
