The basement floor is dedicated to a selection of videoworks, could you briefly elaborate on the significance of this medium in your practice?

I mean, I’m definitely not a video artist. But what we all realise, I think since a couple of years now, is that a painting can hold on to a moment, but it’s difficult for a painting to hold on to time itself, maybe if you are lucky. Some say that’s the worst part about painting, or the best part, nobody knows for sure. Anyway, video and moving images allow you to hold time, that’s why we are all so addicted to our phones now, even babies. You can see it on every street: how attractive it is to picture someone in a small frame, and I see it as something important for me to know how to handle that. I would still argue that a painting or a sculpture has a better way to show you what’s going on in the world. But I also like to see the opposite of what I’m mostly doing and how that can show me more about my stuff: my mistakes, my lucky thing, lucky punch, whatever you’d call it. And so the idea of showing three different kinds of moving image works in the TICK TACK basement appealed to me. One is a real video-work called ‘Kino’, which is the work I made on a very boring day in my studio with an existing painting called ‘Cinema’. My studio assistant helped me to make nine special frames for it. All of a sudden I realised it also raises certain questions about cubism, you know, when a canvas is totally exploding and it has space all around it. In that sense this video is a three dimensional way to see the ‘space’. Additionally, there’s a series of video sketches, something I’ve been doing almost every day, with a camera or iPhone. I think everybody is doing this: just catching the time. And then, a third type of moving image work which I find interesting, is a large presentation file that I take with me when I have to do an artist talk, to students or at a museum somewhere. I always need some visual footage behind me because these materials can better explain what I’m doing then I myself can put into words.
