Very busy recently with uni work, preparing for assessments and the degree show opening, as well as trying to do as much stuff as possible before I leave my house in Belgium.
The show was curated by Geoffrey de Beer who runs Base-Alpha gallery.
Am i wrong
" Amaai rong " said the French radio DJ on Radio Contact to announce a new song.
" Quoi ?! " Asked his side kick - (read assistant ) .
" A-M I double V O - N - G" he spelled it out.
" Aaaah " said the side kick " Amaai rrrooongue "
The Bachelor 3 exhibition " Am I wrong" is about language, visual language . About how you reinvent a visual language, translate it and provide it with a new form. Creating objects is present in all different disciplines in our school. The objects are almost automatically designed in the belief that they mean something, to somebody else, to an audience.
There is also room in our education for experimentation, the possibility to ask questions. The question "Am I wrong", gives our students the opportunity to take a distance from their work. Questioning yourself, is putting yourself in a fragile position. You dare to ask: " what does my work really mean to an outsider”. The Bachelor3 exhibition, for many students, is the 1st opportunity to deal with this question and start a dialogue with visitors from outside the school.
The public is invited to consider the possibility to misunderstand. With the risk of a mental shift , a " mutation spirituelle", or "productive" misunderstanding.
