Lonkende lampen, stamelende stoelen

Lonkende lampen, stamelende stoelen

De Standaard, 24 + 25 december 2020

Wachtende stoelen. Wachtende tafels. En een enkele wachtende ober. Zie hier kerst anno 2020. Tijdens de jaarlijks meest lucratieve horecadagen is het meubilair de komende feestdagen helemaal op elkaar aangewezen. Geen tijd voor excuses meer. De stoel die altijd deed of zijn neus bloedde als een andere stoel steels naar hem keek, de tafel die al jaren smachtend loerde naar een tafel een paar meter verderop maar nooit enig respons kreeg, allen hebben zij nu vrij spel.
Geen derrières die het zitvlak beroeren de komende dagen, geen hangende benen langszij en geen priemende ellebogen op het tafelblad. Geen oeverloos geroezemoes, even geen gekakel. Rust. Focus. Tijd voor elkaar. Heerlijk.
Als straks de restaurants hun deuren weer mogen openen zullen de interieurs niet meer hetzelfde zijn als voorheen. Natuurlijk, de stoelen en tafels zien er ogenschijnlijk precies hetzelfde uit als tevoren. Maar eenieder zal zien dat sommige stoelen meer glimmen dan anders, dat enkele tafels hoogrode konen hebben en dat druistige tafelkleden nog steeds onbekommerd lonken met schalks lachende lampen. Het meubilair trok zich tijdens de lockdown helemaal niets aan van de 1,5 meter doctrine, het inwendige van de zaak stond in vuur en vlam.
Het interieur leefde zich ten volle uit. Wanneer mogen wij weer?

‘Unlocked/Reconnected’

June 1, 2020

“Unlocked/Reconnected”

Exhibition space De Vishal in Haarlem is participating in the national project ‘Unlocked/Reconnected’, a collaboration of museums, exhibition spaces and galleries. ‘Unlocked/Reconnected’ is a collective show that brings together a wide range of ‘houses for art’ throughout the Netherlands to mark their re-opening. As part of this project, I show the series “C-travel, greetings from” and “C-travel, Benidorm”.

As the impact of the corona virus stems directly from globalization, our desire to travel all over the world ensured that the corona virus easily nestled everywhere. Therefore our vacation this summer is likely to look very different from usual. Lots of us will stay home, others have to find out which country will be a safe spot for a longer stay. But do not be sad.
Instead of going on holiday ourselves, the holiday destinations will come to us this year. Those who live on Terschelling imagine themselves in Corsica and the inhabitants of Olderberkoop seem to be in Palma de Mallorca for a while. And on top of that all European lovers of Benidorm can still enjoy the Spanish sitting in their own chairs at home.

My series “C-travel, greetings from” and “C-travel, Benidorm” can be seen in the showcase of De Vishal from June 2-28.

The following opening hours apply for the exhibition in De Vishal:
– closed on Mondays
– opening hours adjusted until further notice: Tuesday to Sunday 1 pm – 4 pm
