the exhibition fake is about the phenomena of the fake as an essential element in art practice. humans strive to obtain or reveal a certain truth in their realities, yet the transformation of the real has a strong effect on their lives in so many different ways. it comforts them, confronts them, gets them to smile or moves them to be emotional or rational when it comes to perceiving reality. the construction of the fake seems to play a major role in the development of any aesthetic language and in the blurring of borders between its disciplines.

the paintings of mario hergueta show the perfect combination of painting, drawing and architectonic object. with the project ‘fake states’, the legendary artist gordon matta-clark had started an investigation - in the new york of the 1970s - which continued a tradition of psychogeography and mapping of urban landscapes. the designer kai linke with his mirror chairs series created objects that blur the boundaries between design and art. angelo luz is a multidisciplinary artists. luz uses his body as tool to formulate questions about the relation between body, nature and our existence at this time. he operates in an almost shamanistic way. for fake he will develop a new performance piece.

gordon and social

"My understanding of  art in a social context is as an essentially generous human act, an individually positive attempt to encounter the real world through expressive interpretation. The value of art as it services and  sometimes flourishes in our systems is so closely related to occidental beliefs in individual rights of free expression that one can accuratelly speak of the state of art as a mesure of the state of freedom in our society."

The sculptural act present in video. Artists like; Matt Calderwood, Jorma Foth and Hanna Hildebrand, are able to include their sculptural practices in video works in a way that, really, make their ouvre complete. In the video works they do formulate and compose their "gesamtwerk". We can watch the video works of these artists and we can see, very clearly, the sculptural practice which they are engaged in. When we see one of their sculptures installations or performances we can observe how much it is embodied in the work of the motion that they need to complete the work. Their objects or sculpturual works appears to be in a static minimal motion picture. Be it performative or not; or if the video are included in the pieces or not. These artists are able to give a very intense visible form to their ideas.

The films from Gordon Matta-Clark are a very special case. His films, made mostly as documents of his action and performative sculptural practice, are a perfect example of combining disciplines with such a virtuosity. When you watch his films you almost have the sensation to be present in his sculptures and actions. His sculptural works and his films are a very good reference for the practice that artists like Jorma Foth and Hanna Hildebrand are engaged today. As one of the first to start practicing this kind of sculptural performative action, type of works, which were recorded in film, he did had the privilege to not need to bring his sculpture or rest of it to the white cube.

Even if the performative elements are very strong in the works of all this artists, through the videos or films that they produced, we can see that the core element of their practice is the sculptural act.
