Thuis = At Home

Group exhibition at Frank Taal's home
Site specific installation

February 5 - 19 2011

AT HOME = THUIS
Gallery owner Frank Taal has invited 20 artists to make a special work for THUIS. It is an exhibition in his home in the centre of Rotterdam next to the Laurens Church. His personal connection with these artists has been paramount to the selection of the group.
THUIS begins a discussion about being a curator and how the dividing line between work and home is often unclear. This is applicable in a lesser or greater degree to every gallery owner. The exhibition explores Frank’s deeply felt kinship to the artists who are invited to create a work in his house that will also be open to the public. The visitor gains a special, perhaps even a somewhat voyeuristic look into this reshaped interior and its personal and symbolic links between the artist and curator.

For this exhibition I made a site specific installation that visualizes the amount of time Frank spent during one week in Rotterdam.
An imaginary map was projected on the appartments ceiling. At the spots Frank spend time during this week a circle out of ahesive foil was stuck indicating the amount of time with its size.

Resulting in all sized circles on the ceiling in different colours, the largest one indicating HOME.
