the exhibition is alive

the exhibition , this human being

! text not finished yet , in bad english .



-the strike  the exhibition can react , protest  and strike ( strike in institution exhibition space ) (bangkok 1992 , alliance francaise  )(“cruising “-kunstforeningen 1997 )

-the passage , an exhibition is replacing another one smoothly , sometimes to attenuate the violence  the  death of  the  previous  exhibition- death of taking down  . I make a progressive passage (institut francais galerie  cph  1993 "decollage d exposition) ,  in a slow process of transition .
 Same process if I give my exhibition away  (transmission , moving exhibition conviviale ) the exhibition cover slowy the previous one , like archeologic strate

- l exposition est un procédé amical , convivial  

-the exhibition is reproductible , and can be multipliable  ( photocopie of “impermeable )

--a exhibition can kill another one ,
 attention- taker during vernissage of exhibition offensive (galerie billled huset ) to be able to live
19/sept 1988 , + other moving exhibition de type offensive .

-the exhibition can be asked (charlottenborg ) I can come and ask for space in case of burning interest of participation , I ask for exhibition space like an hitchiker (charlottenborg 1989)

- .the exhibition se deroulle ,like a theater- play
,, exhibition in different act (Krasnapolski be what you want  1989) like a play

-the public make the exhibition , (self critic of the touristic attitude  1990 "what about tourism?" )
the people working in the exhibition space (mmoving exhibition exhibitioniste by waiter Krasnapolski 1990)  .



basically the exhibition can be changing , reacting , jumping , disapearing  folllow the artist mood , the political context , the meetings and last minute invited guest to participate .


the artist is the owner of the exhibition and can give it away

the exhibition visibility

should everything be visible to any body passing the exhibition ?
an exhibition for whom ?

who should see what
and in which conditions (hanging ,, consultation ) ?

does the exhibition has to be generous and given out ?

is the exhibition made to promote , demontrate , please ?

is the exhibition a construction project ?

where does the sympathy for the vieuwer come from ?

the exhibition and the self protection ,
the degres of visibillity and consumation of the exhibition ?

From intimate exhibition printed or sewed in the inside of my coats requering visas
to prime time television ..
the exhibition is visible by very few witnessses or  to  a large prime time tv audience .
it is a reflexion about visibility  , what should be  to shown to whom?
 it is a reflection about the access and about the identity of the vieuwers. .

Not all art piece should be accessible by everybody ,
 on the countrary.

 some art work should be shown to the maximum people
 and should be packed-presented in an appealling way (entertainment  strategies like humoristic ) or penetration of the mass medias ( prime time penetration on football matches for exemple ) .

in the  middle the researches include the all rainbow about visibility

goodie was a work about making the exhibition extremely visible
and at the time invisible in his totallity .
picked  up from the flea  market
digg out .found
I took
the silly initiative to make public quelque chose entérré et caché pendant toute une vie
la reallité est fragmentée eparpilllé et prend la forme d ' un puzle . 


to hide the exhibition
(inside pocket ) , the exhibition is shown like a secret , like a tresor

I also exhibit the witness of my exhibition ( "strategies d' existence ") (passif or actif )
and exhibit vieuwers list of my tv programs  as part of my reflexion.
un bon  passage  télé est un bon passage vieuwer

  "can you see me ? "

camoufflage
se cacher se camouffler , mieux se cacher pour envahir

to oblige people to see , in case of public space (se donner à la vue )


photographe de conférence was an attempt to be visible , but if not announce and with the right packaging there is no visibility . Il y a des degrés de travestissement de l' expo


did some body come to visit my exhibition today ?

time

the work is produced and exhibited in a different time agenda .

exhibition ultra fast (stockhoolm 1996+ 3 types of communication depending of the publlic  )
on demand  
on necessity (emergency golf war . )

the exhibition can be living at the speed of the media (what you see in the daily news paper is shown on the exhibition wall the same  day  ) (other participant are invited to participate in the exhibition ) ( following the artist mood : strike ) responding to the  manifest moving exhibition semi- bourgeoise

exhibition as a snapshot. a fast- impression
spur of the moment
(an exhibbition is mobile and flexible )
vejle ,, brott

the exhibition can be left to the hasard  (Bam ) disponible , carry it' s own life . 
and has unexpected appearance .in the time
(the exhibition can nearly live on it' s own , the materiel continues it’ s own road , independent like a released child .
