Description

1 Germaine Kruip Aesthetics as a way of Survival Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsselfdorf 30 May – 9 August, 2009 Press Release Dutch artist Germaine Kruip (based in Amsterdam and Brussels) is known from her often minimal architectural inventions integrating light and mirrors. She perceives her audience as actors in these minimal but staged environments. Her photographic slide pieces such as The Bower (2006) and Image Archive (2004-ongoing), connect the institutional environment, the way we are conducted or conditioned to look at images, to the everyday world outside. She places the so-called “artificial” on the same level as the ‘natural”. In her slide piece entitled The Bower, which is the name of a bird’s display used as a lure, and as a site for rituals by the Australian Bowerbird, Kruip questions the necessity of aesthetics.
