Opening 31 January: Hedwig Houben \ Playstation: Ruta Butkute


 

Hedwig Houben
“First, you learn to see; second, you try to understand; and third, you’re about to act”
31 Jan — 07 Mar 2015
Opening: Saturday 31 Jan, 5–7pm;
Performance: [removed] pm
 

Thinking and talking about processes of making form the main material in Hedwig Houben’s work. In an equally playful and critical way, through performance lectures and videos, Houben attempts to explain the artistic process and characteristics of objects. With that, it is the objects themselves who, as living characters, usually take the floor.
The video ‘The Good, The Bad, The Happy, The Sad’ (2014) for instance, is the registration of a recent performance by Houben in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, as part of the performance programme ‘The Artist Speaks’, and sequel to her series ‘About the Good and the Bad Sculpture.’

“Performativity is the key word in Butkute’s works. If nothing else, every object that she appropriates or creates, assumes a specific role in her installation. Dancing around each other, occupying the whole length of the exhibition space, the objects ask to be identified, to be separated from each other. But on closer look, they for the most part don’t reveal their identity and remain anonymous, to be categorized by very basic premises such as rubber, steel, stone, textile, weight, mass, texture. I don’t know whether it is the work by itself, or my own need for interpretation, but I am tempted with every gaze to search for meaning, subdivide and to trace the origins of these [removed]#8221;
