What

Correct me if I’m wrong “Correct me if I’m wrong” is a wall painting that was presented as part of a group exhibition. On a white wall of the exhibition space the artist painted a horizontal red wavy line by hand in gouache. Which idea was born from the red line that wavely appears when typing a grammatical error in Word. You can see that the artist worked extremely precise and in flowing movement. The line is 85 centimeters long and 3.5 centimeters high, so the painted line is much bigger than the actual line in Word. The artist placed the painting at 2 meters from the ground, not in the exact middle but slightly more to the right. Artificial light is turned on. As a part of the wall painting - to create another sort of space in dialogue to the work – a big temporary white wall (3,5X4X 0.20) is built that will divide the one into two rooms. This wall almost touches the ceiling of the space. After the exhibition this temporary wall will be taken down. Besides the painting and the wall there is not else in the space.

761.2 On a A2 poster a color photograph is printed. The photo shows a bookcase located at the Willem de Kooning library. The bookcase storages all the books of the section Minimal Art and Installation Art. Where most of the time all the books are put in line with the front of the bookshelf by the librarian, the artist has shoven all the books to the back of the bookshelf one by one. Because all the books have different sizes, by doing this the books about sculpture create a temporary sculpture of themselves. While waiting for the librarian to aline them once again. The poster is hanging to a wall by four copper thumb tacks, on the right side 45 folded posters are stacked up on the ground. By doing this the documentation of the act in the library turns into a Post Minimal gesture.

i don't know if this is about us or about them

In a exhibition space a small sculpture (25X15cm) is standing on the floor, surrounded by text based work. The sculpture is a three-dimensional trilateral pyramid made of kitschy rainbow colored cardboard is placed on the points of three color pencils. The rainbow pyramid is well made, there is no sign of glue or paper cuts, this is in contrast with the rough and run down character of the exhibition space. The pencils are made out of the three primary colors (red, yellow and blue). Each pencil is standing on the ground and is placed at a corner of the pyramid. The pyramid is balancing on the points of the pencils.

The book ‘the Nightmare of Participation’ written by Markus Miessen, where Miessen argues participation in modern society, has served as an inspirational ground for this sculpture.
