Welcome at my exhibition "Derivatives"
Derivatives is about plagiarism...
about replication, about doing the same again and again
and then about discovering that something that has been done before
is still ... original
take a look we have four ostriches over here 1, 2, 3, 4
it repeats and then suddenly we have the other one
he moves the other side. It is an original idea
but that is not the only way that we have derivatives
because if you take a look at this print
you will see that the print has a derivative in the
actual oil painting behind me
so originally it is a print
and later it became a painting
Now, what one is the original?
In the Arts both are originals
and there is no plagiarism
and there is even more, more kinds of derivatives
Like, for example, when a print gets on the cover of a book
and the nice thing about the cover of this book is that there is a joke
you only see the original idea
but behind it is often replication
so this exhibition is about originality
and I ask you to take a look at the paintings and the prints
and to decide for yourself
what is the original?
it this the original
or is this the original
and in the same vein
is this the original
or is this the original
or is this the original
or this the original
so that is the purpose of the exhibition
find out yourself
what is the original?
So over here I have four paintings
And what we will see is (I am not going to change the paintings) that it matters a lot
in which way we represent the same sort of ideas
and now watch how the paintings dance
and actually that is the original
and I invite you to my exhibition
to find out
that this was the original painting
from which my experience
as a painter started
so my exhibition
shows you the value of repeating something
doing it well
repeating it again
and finding out that it may add value
and that sometimes
doing the dames
creates something new
and the lesson
from the Arts
for science
is that replication matters
and of course replication also matters for science
but we often forget
and many instances exist
where replication is in low esteem
So enjoy my exhibition
take a look
take a look around
enjoy
and I hope that you will revisit it
because that is another way of repetition that I like
