The Sponge, The Clay, The Brick and The Bridge
Group Exhibition.
Co-curated by Ashleigh Wilson.
2019.
In this site-specific outdoor project, realised together with UNSEEN curators Amelie Schüle and Beatrice Lontani, students from KABK, Rietveld and HKU staged a performative intervention to offer an ironic, yet serious reflection on the concept of “development” in relation to art academies and photographic processes, in order to enquire about the systems we use to develop, to grow, and to “become”.
Throughout the event, they questioned the logic of development in art education and the photographic process, as both an abstract and personal matter. Each day during the festival, they focused on one object, beginning with the sponge and concluding with the bridge, as a way to engage in a conversation about contemporary image-making, learning and teaching methods.
Glasshouses at Westergasfabriek, UNSEEN Photo Fair.
Open 11am to 10pm, 19 - 22 September 2019.
