PRESS RELEASE
COLD ORIGAMI
March 13 - May 1, 2010
Opening: Saturday March 13 17.00–19.00
‘Cold Origami’ refers to the power of line. Thinking
as a drawer, the line dictates the shape of thought for Lotte Geeven
(1980). In this exhibition with new large-scale drawings and installations;
the line folds an interior, breaks a grand mountain panorama and
maps routes through strange cities and foreign landscapes. In its’ ambiguous
character it explores the mechanism of memory of another place at
another moment.
All the works trace back to ‘Hotel Insomnia’;
an ongoing project started in 2007. This project unfolds around a
model of an imaginary hotel and takes shape in a series of installations,
drawings and texts. The growing domain of the Hotel offers a temporary
refuge for fleeting observations that hide in the lee of the interior.
