No Made (1993) In those days the notion of
Art in The Public Space came up. To contribute to
that debate Stroom HCBK organized the exhibition
'De Campagne' (1993). It was been put up to
investigate the contemporary relation between the
commissioner and the artist. The artist could
choose the most fitting environment for the work
and the organization took up all the negotiations
to have it all set. At that period I was interested
in the relation between the 'interface' of the
urban sphere and the behavior of its
occupants.
The installment of these two industrially
fabricated words (nomad and monad) was done in a
way that no man could ever see both words at the
same time: one had to move to see. They were
deliberately installed on a housing complex that
was about to vanish which meant it was all up to
the urban dynamics to decide how long it would
pertain in the public sphere.
