A Museum

Geraard Mercatorstraat 46,
26 september 2022- 28 october 2022

‘A museum’ was a 5 week performance. During this period I directed a museum inside my bedroom and living space. Fulfilling the duties of a museum director without any personel proved rather challenging.

Every week another artist or artists showed work inside my Museum.I prepped the room by making everything white. From walls to plants.

On view were installations, sculptures, paintings and a series of performances.
The artists : (in order)

Myself
Robbe de Pestel
Emil Kerckhove
Margo Vanneste
Kasper De Vos
Michiel Ceulers

The only limit I gave my Colleagues was the everlasting presence of, and access to, my bed.
On the ground floor a multifuntional livingroom, serving as: bar, lounge, office, workstation and private collection conservatory. (exhibit A)

A Museum might be a nod to Jan Hoet’s ‘Chambres d’amis’ and Joost Zwagerman’s ‘Duel’.
The whole journey was filmed by Flore Van Sparretak.

Over the span of these weeks I wore a tux and shiny white shoes (exhibit B and C) every day from 17h to 21h.
