A SUMMER SHOW BY MATHIEU COPELAND
*Show title #347, by Stefan Brüggemann
A painting exhibition with Jaroslaw Flicinski & Claude Rutault
A spoken word exhibition with Douglas Coupland, Nick Currie (aka Momus), Karl Holmqvist, Tomas Vanek, Lawrence Weiner & Ian Wilson
The Title As The Curator’s Art Piece* acts as a multi-layered exhibition, a series of successive exhibitions in one given space, at a given time. A neutral ‘all over’ curating, constantly expanding in time, two independent exhibitions within a concomitant space are unified by the time of the exhibition.
If in the title the whole program of an exhibition is revealed, the show title by Stefan Brüggemann–which cancels itself by stating a title as curator’s piece as an artist’s piece—illustrates the exhibition’s concerns with self-referentiality and denial. An exhibition where what is is not what one approaches, but what constitutes the space as a series of successive exhibitions in a given space, at a given time.
