About DETAIL: In order to not lose ourselves in the bigger picture, we cling to the details.

From different backgrounds and art practices, one concept crystallized and functions as a binding aspect; if you're looking at Benjamin Francis' idea about 'the actual (self)' ( translated from 'het eigenlijke'), Bonnie’s concepts about 'conscious and unconscious' corporeality, Voskamp's 'talking material', Isa's multiplicity of simplicity or how Gert Jan zooms in on big events – the details that they emphasize or maybe try to hide, speaks for themselves in this exhibition.

This exhibition is contextualized by Rieke Vos.
