‘Cursing and blessing the gallery’ (2010)

A spiritual practitioner was hired to consecrate the right part of the space using white magic. The left part was cursed with the use of black magic, thus attributing ‘good’ to the right side in contrast to the ‘bad’ on the left.

Bernd Lohaus, first artist of Parkplatz.

Last week opened ‘Parkplatz‘. An exhibition of 6 small solo shows on a parking lot in the city of Breda (NL). Every month an artist will create an artwork specifically for one parking space. The work will remain in this parking space for the entire month, then a new artist will choose another space for a work. Go see this this summer in Breda!

Next artists:
Thomas Bakker, Colin Peeters, Kristof van Gestel, Gabriel Lester and Marjolijn Dijkman.

The other highlight for me was the video ‘Annotated Plans for an Evacuation ‘ (2009) by Alex Hubbard.

In the video, Hubbard continuously alters the look of an old, used Ford Tempo. He does this with styrofoam, plaster and spraypaint in a way that makes it seem like he has a very clear plan for the make-over. However, over the course of the video, the purpose for his alterations becomes increasingly unclear, while their pointlessness becomes ever more clear.
