About the exhibition

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

From different backgrounds and art practices, one concept crystalizes and functions as a binding aspect. If you take a look 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 – you will find that the details that they emphasize or maybe try to hide, start speaking for themselves in this exhibition.
