I AM A DISCO BOWL

I am moving on the dance floor, my body is jumping up and down, it is out of control, I do no longer know where I have been, not here. Please, take me even further out on the dance floor, let the sparkle begin, show me all the movements. Let us all join in one collective body. Move. Move. Move.


Move in words about what you see. Here. Painting. Large and small. Drawings. Move my hands. Follow my hands. Color. Cosmos. A god without a religion. Where should I go? Performance. I AM A DISCO BOWL. Words. Installations. I am changing, transforming, moving to the next image created by my hand?

(This is a note I wrote to myself late in the evening, after talking to my dear friend about what I do as an artist. I was trying to explain to her that I do not create ONE thing in ONE media, I explore many medias in many forms and expressions. Most of it has to do with a core need for the intuitive, which is the closest language I have of a spiritual awareness. But I do not have a religion. I do nor either have ONE concept I need to explore all over again in my art practice, I prefer to see my art practice as an intuitive presence of being. But is it possible to be accepted as a professional artist without having a clear concept to preach when being asked? And is it possible constantly to find new ways of painting, drawing, writing, perform and install and still be accepted?

Yes, my dear friend replied.
Because you are a discobowl.

Welcome to the dance floor.)

A bouquet of flowers arranged in a sculptural vase placed on a recordplayer. That is the starting point for my installation in the BOX. The bouquet rotates around its own axis in a slow decay. The sides of the BOX are also painted, and I have installed graphic printing in the small room.
This picturesque installation is a typical gesture in my work, where I take the starting point in a specific context and in the exhibition space. Because of this gesture, it is ideal precisely by exhibiting in a format like BOXEN, where the viewer can only exhibit through the window. Thereby the work becomes a comment on Covid-19…
