Julia Sp nola Habla / Dice
, Posture Editions Nr 12, 2014 softcover 297 x 210 mm, 64 pages ENG text ISBN 9789491262128.
The work of Julia Sp nola (b. 1979) departs from an intuitive and empirical practice, in which there is no place for metaphors or symbolisms. She is interested in the laws of physics such as connectivity, transference, movement, which have been present in her practice since earlier works. "One night in Madrid, a lamp came swirling down, as if it were a butterfly. It just missed the table and it did not break. The lamp was still burning, but it was hanging at a different level than usual: it had left the ceiling. Suddenly, a funny dialogue developed, a play with various lamps. It became obvious that Sp nola wanted to link heart, head, feet and hands in her work - that she was in search of a form for them. Her work shows the effect of experienced and experimental material, it is imagined and created, one sees spaced possibilities that can be thought clearly at a certain moment in this space - a moment that surprises us." From: 'Julia Sp nola: Form as Figure-Object, Engaged in a Dialogue with Sequenced Gestures and Action Codes' Sofie Van Loo, in: Habla/Dice
Nikolaas Demoen In Courtesy of the Unknown
, Posture Editions Nr 14, 2015 PB, 297 x 210 mm, 76 pages, EN-NL edition, Illustrated. ISBN 9789491262142.
In Demoen's work, things are not entirely like Richard Wolheim once objected to Ernst Gombrich, claiming that in the case of a theory of the double, our attention must be divided between two things or issues. There is more going on and down for that matter. Demoen (b. 1965) presents collages with cut-up echoes, which in their fragmented state function as motif-protagonists in a mise en sc ne that has fallen on its back and has not found its place yet. The studio, geometry, magazine sensationalism and the art history book are cut up and practised while dancing, as if the artistic practice were a lost nightclub with entering daylight that is used as outfit. Demoen dances the gesture till it blindly follows the work of art. (.) The scattered motifs have been cut up. They show how in the Western tradition beauty was defined by the sublime, and no design could cope with that, unless it becomes ornamental and at a certain moment also boring if radiation is impossible. When things get out of hand, a gesture playfully tries to regain control. One by one, the cards are played on the worktable. They are presented to the spectator and hidden from our glance by another playing card. The memory of the spectator is exercised, stimulated, annoyed and teased. What makes the whole thing mysterious, is that despite all the historical references in Demoen's work, the reference as such is thrown back on its own, though it is like a collection of ellipses and ovals." From 'What If Seven Days of Vase Guarantee Are No Longer Sufficient?' Sofie Van Loo.
