<b>STAGING SPACE<br \/>A GROUP EXHIBITION BY INE LAMERS, LEOPOLD\/EMMEN, LUCA TICHELMAN, MELS VAN ZUTPHEN<br \/>CURATED BY MARIEKE VAN DER LIPPE<\/b><br \/><b>Exhibition statement<\/b>The exhibition Staging Space features artists whose work exists in the intersection between film and visual art. Their approach examines the relationship between people and their surroundings, adopting a contemplative use of time and space, reconfiguring narrative structures.<br \/>Themes such as identity and architecture, human relationships and spaces, memory and transformation all intertwine and influence their practice.<br \/>Image, space and light serve both conceptually as well as cinematic elements and are visual components within the physical works themselves, encouraging viewers to actively seek meaning.<br \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>

We see a young Russian man in close-up. He tries to repeat English sentences which are prompted to him by someone off camera. The man imitates the words and \u2018tastes\u2019 them but doesn\u2019t seem to understand most of the content of what he is saying and has difficulty with the pronunciation. The situation becomes increasingly uncomfortable, but he perseveres. To what end?The text derives from improvisation by a group of Russian actors who en-acted a scene of waiting, while standing in line. The witty and quirky sentences were translated by Russian students to English. Saskia de Jong has selected and refined the text, highlighting its poetic qualities.<br \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
