Fade In

BAK basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht

The first exhibition in Bak's newly renovated building, which presents work by Josef Dabernig, 'Fade In'. Dabernig examines the contemporary world through a slow course of actions, movements and gestures based in routines of the everyday. By exploring the potentials of monotony, emptiness, inertia, order, and repetition, as well as looking at the basic structures of activities, routines and relations among people, the films point towards a general feeling of disillusionment in contemporary reality.


comunicato stampa

After more than a yearlong pause, during which BAK, basis voor actuele kunst (former BeganeGrond) made an effort to mentally and physically rethink the space marked for art, we are happy to invite audiences to join us for the first exhibition in BAK's newly renovated building, which presents work by Josef Dabernig, 'Fade In'. Five films, including 'Wisla' (1996), 'Timau' (1998, in collaboration with Markus Scherer), 'Jogging' (2000), 'WARS' (2001), and 'automatic' (2002, in collaboration with G.R.A.M.) will be shown.

Dabernig examines the contemporary world through a slow course of actions, movements and gestures based in routines of the everyday. By exploring the potentials of monotony, emptiness, inertia, order, and repetition, as well as looking at the basic structures of activities, routines and relations among people, the films point towards a general feeling of disillusionment in contemporary reality. Subtle understructures of irony, however, often lead the viewer to experience the absurd as a freeing, cathartic momentum that creates an occasion to step out of the world we know, and envision it in another, new way.

On the occasion of the opening, three new BAK publications will also be presented:

Common Ground (with artists Andre van Bergen, Tomo Savic-Gecan, Michiel Kluiters, Job Koelewijn, Krijn de Koning, Govinda Mens and Roman Ondak; Dutch and English)

Becoming Oneself, four conversations on art and institutional creativity today (with Daniel van der Velden, Nicolas Bourriaud, Boris Veldhuizen van Zanten, Annie Fletcher, Declan McGonagle, Branislav Dimitrijevic, Andrea Wiarda, Barbara Vanderlinden, Oladele Ajiboye Bamgboye, Maxine Kopsa, Charles Esche and Sean Snyder; English)

A Play to Stop to Add a Moment (artist's book by Germaine Kruip).
