Treasures
Galerie NeC in Hong Kong, 2012.
Treasures: Ceramic excavations and treasures. The collection as a prerequisite for an exhibition. Timeless, ambivalent and contemporary.
An exhibition of man’s relation to the collection and the treasure. Where issues around objects, use, materiality, status and value are treated. The exhibition consists of new museum collections, the assembly of pre-existing and newly manufactured items and works transformed to new ensembles and scenes. Treasures aims to show the object’s relationship and the impact on each other.
The exhibition presents ambivalent ceramic works, virgin archaeological objects of unknown origin that expresses beauty in the making, or in disrepair. With traces of a forgotten civilization with different ideals.
The intention is to create works in which the methods are a prerequisite for the final result. Where traces of the process remains in the finished work.
To freeze a moment for posterity. To preserve and display an action. What is worth preserving? Methods where the finished objects conveys trace of effort, different movement patterns or natural deformation / formation.
Traces, as a memory of its creation.
The exhibition has been supported by Iaspis.
