Text by Ilja Kleinjans about my work
Het poule-gesprek waarbij vier leerlingen
elkanders werk trachten zo goed mogelijk te begrijpen en bekritiseren en/of
complementeren.
Ik, Ilja Kleinjans schreef een tekst over het
gesprek en werk van Jed.
Jed is presenting, displaying his work on a
mysteriously, seemingly random but interesting way.
By walking through his working space you might
accidentaly notice a work.
Things laying on the floor, or hidden behind
some wooden sticks, might or might not be found.
His work often goes on materials matters
export, transit. (for instance styrofoam) He sometimes litterary getting into
detail with his subject by zooming in on it.
The ‘eye-catch’ art piece was a paper bowl with a photo of his working space, the bowl trying to reflect like a mirror really got everybody’s attention.
The ‘eye-catch’ art piece was a paper bowl with a photo of his working space, the bowl trying to reflect like a mirror really got everybody’s attention.
He is presenting it on the floor as it has
fallen from the sky, the bowl fold out.
He has got some extreme contrasts in his work:
from the hightech research elaborating into something trashy or very momentary
and sensitive.
A possible way of working for him might be to adjust
a streetscene, and then continu too the next; the constant move and travel of
things.
My report of Jan Van de Bosch:
The talk gave an insight into the main considerations and tendencies towards working methods of Jan’s Practice. Works are intended to be contradictory in their immediate subject matter, (or lack of subject matter). Their functionality is reduced to zero and the objects are made redundant. Jan described the equivalence to decorations in his work, considering them to have static and eye catching qualities. Function is lost in favour of visual presentation, and the sculptures and installations are consciously kitsch. The working and installation process becomes circumstantial, embracing disruptions such as the low quality availability of a mobile phone camera, and the intervention of shop window display posters. These works embody a gestural stance in which they claim to have nothing more than their original material value.
