Frankly speaking, I am just wondering, isn’t it a common daily experience that so
NOW and THEN
I tend to think about a
HERE and THERE
while I damn well know I actually ought to stick to a
HERE and NOW?
And despite all the efforts in reaching that goal I often see myself drifting away towards a
THERE and THEN!
In primary school I was already called a dreamer.
Pieter Laurens Mol was born in 1946 in The Netherlands and is currently living and working in Brussels. His oeuvre defies a single stylistic definition and embodies a diversity of media: photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media objects and installation.
His works, independent of the specific medium of expression, seem to possess a mystical, sometimes even hermetic quality, frequently combined with an element of the absurd.
At P/////AKT Mol is presenting a constellation of works, some of which have never been exhibited before. A text by writer/curator Mark Kremer accompanies the exhibition.

In case the stillness of the hourglass becomes a reality:
this maybe understood as a state of inertness resulting from
an endlessly prolonged stop-over as completion.
