'Every day, I am astonished anew by the straightforward way cats change
direction and by how life continues on its way while producing the most
vivid images at the same time. On walks through the city, a small video
camera is an ideal notebook.' - Eric Hattan
Taking the incidental as subject matter, the work of Hattan, Leonard and
François, introduces a new preoccupation at the SI: looking at what
happens in the time and space 'between', so that this exhibition is
portrayed as a sort of intermission. This theme of intermission or
entr'acte will recur unexpectedly in the SI's programming this year,
challenging the accepted notion of an exhibition having defined beginning
and end points. The repetition and incidental beauty of the works in
LIQUID CONCRETE will serve as a kind of trailer, introducing the idea that
exhibitions do not begin or end, but rather flow and linger.
