exhibition view of front space Galerie van Gelder

details of installation on left wall:





"Transport of images via your forefinger

When you point at an image, it will be drawn into your finger. The closer you come to an image, the more clear the image will become within your finger. When there is a lot of time in an image, meaning when an artist has spent a lot of time painting the image, the image will be more completely absorbed and remain within your finger. That is why guards in a museum are very afraid that people who approach a painting and point to it will take the painting away; that is why they alwayswant you to keep a distance.
Curators absorb many images while pointing at them, but they don't know it. The more they organize and arrange, the more rigid and unclear the show becomes." (text in wooden frame)
