As the toxic vessel “Probleema“ vanished toward the horizon, it left a ripple in its wake : the installation called “Quartett“. İt enshrines, once again, my devotion to dance, and shows how much I was in need to tread sunnier streets. It not only was produced in the same room and the same town, but shares with "Probleema" the basic feature that it can be installed only in a predetermined fashion. The difference lies in the bouncy recklessness of the improvisation, a result of the happy circumstance that the way from conception to completion had never been derailed by any summons of a petulant , parsimonious and pedantic (ppp) institution.
“ Quartett “ includes 4 individually titled canvasses ( Flair, It might Be Different, The Mauve Brush, Buttercups ) and an upholstered bench, allowing the viewer to have a prolonged, relaxed look on the displayed intricacies. İt symbolically unshackles the canvasses ( and the dancers within ) from their wall prison by endowing them with the surreal faculty to cast shadows on the bench at their feet. “Dancing on the ceiling” was on my mind, need I say it. And regardless of objects thrown, and limbs extending from one canvas to the next, the magic 6 qm2 are enough, guided again by the motto : small, comfy, sexy, in short scs. The arrangement was also specifically designed to accomodate children and short people without pickelhauben.
