“Real. Easy. Taking the hassle out the hustle.”
Part of The Nullities Series (2010 – ongoing):
The Nullities Series, is conceived from the tensions and discomfort of a ‘Creative Block’ and captures this frozen moment in a series of specific objects of no return.
What they all have in common is that their presence and intrinsic values easily disappear from sight. Not only because of their scale, but also in the essence of their original function, habitat or their (temporary) status, which directly refers to a particular use or behaviour, a duration of interaction and their disposable characters.
Caught in its dualistic approach and connotation of ‘self-control vs. sabotage’, The Nullities Series endeavours to centralise and transform this ironic moment – against oneself – into a fruitful clash between retrospect, confrontation and new hope.
Manmade solutions or Tool-beings: offered as a device, symbol or gesture that can give direction to a more or less recognizable context. Often hidden, but when noticed, embedded in decisive moments of existence.
A range of holistic conditions that present themselves as a fragmented whole. Open to interpretation in a transitory state and in discourse with the added subtexts – pointing towards the (poetic) gaps between the individual works from this growing series.
The P/////AKTSALON is a new club/reading room dedicated to publications, artist books, editions and small works by P/////AKT alumni artists (and beyond). These materials give form to P/////AKT library and collection. The room is also a space that hosts small book presentations in conjunctions with openings and events at P/////AKT.
