When I am offered an exhibition, I take it. I am always lacking shows and I never can know when the next opportunity might come. So I exhibit also at places that nobody visits, nobody writes about and that hold little merit, as that is still better than nothing. I exhibit new pieces so I can take photographs of them. A work of art can only look well in a portfolio if installed in a nice clean room. I constantly need to be able to present nice new works to be able to apply for nice new shows. And I get repeatedly rejected from exhibitions on grounds of that the piece has been shown before; whether anyone has seen it or not does not matter. Art is not for being shown and seen, art is for giving credits to curators or/and institutions.
Are artworks really mere consumables, as lasting as last year’s fashion?
