Bas Schevers, ‘Hommage’ (2006)
At the 2006 edition of the Kunstvlaai in Amsterdam, Schevers set himself a set of rules with which he could seek out a work presented at the fair and copy it. He eventually chose two works by Dutch artist Jan Bokma.

‘Tropical Beach’ (2007) (found postcards) by Katerina Drzková.
Katerina Drzkova has been systematically collecting pairs of the same picture-postcards from the 1960s to the 1980s. These postcards are never identical. They usually differ in several details in the picture. In ‘Tropical Beach’ a time shift of several minutes is visible. On each postcard a different photographer is stated; the post offices and the times when the postcards were sent are also varying. The addressee is the same person.

Robotlab, ‘The Bible scribe’ (2007)
The installation ‘bios [bible]’ consists of an industrial robot, that writes down the bible on rolls of paper. The machine draws the calligraphic lines with high precision. Like a monk in the scriptorium it recreates the text step by step.
Starting with the old testament and the books of Moses, ‘bios [bible]’ produces the whole book within seven months continuously. All 66 books of the bible are written on rolls and then retained and presented in the library of the installation.
(Robotlab is Matthias Gommel, Martina Haitz and Jan Zappe)
