6 Works on paper and wallpainting.
The walls are painted dark olive-green, with a yellow banner going all around the space. 5 replicas of paintings from the Van Abbemuseum collection are painted onto the yellow banner. (Schwitters, de Smet, Alechinsky, Poliakoff, Sluijters).
3 Works on paper are hung onto 3 free-standing grey blocks. In these works, which combine ornament and text, the viewer can decipher text-quotes from various books: Continents and Blood, quoting from The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi, Porcelain, quoting from Saman by Ayu Utami and The Way to Paradise from The Way to Paradise by Mario Vargass Llosa.
3 Framed works on paper are hung on the dark-olive green wall (Glow, On Black 1 and On Black 2). In these works ornaments, shapes and objects seem to move to the front of the picture through a strangely filtered light, making references to classical Dutch still life painting. |
