Coen Vernooij
Exhibition
I made my presentation in the Museum of All Times with about 15 identical works of different scale and thickness.
I used this to create combinations that are adapted to the size of the 5 rooms/windows.
With these sculptures I want to increase their spatial qualities in order to use these installations to emphasize the place-relatedness (or lack thereof) of the objects in a theatrical, architectural way.
These formal considerations arise from my need to make the social involvement that often forms the basis of my work more explicit.
I have been amazed by processes of inclusion/exclusion and the formation of judgments all my working life. Perhaps this is also the reason that my sculptures are deceptively simple. Only after a second look do the choices that have been made appear to be anything but obvious.
