HCAK

A house and its contents can be considered a collection of spaces and containers: rooms, cupboards, cellar, attic etc. But also think of refrigerators, tv’s, radio’s, furniture (the space under a table), suitcases, beds, marmalade jars, kitchen appliances, books, computers, printers etc… just to mention a few of the many possible rooms/spaces/volumes that exist in a house.

The installation in the HCAK in The Hague in 1992 consisted likewise of a collection of all kinds of spaces: some the size of a small radio, others large enough to get inside of. Without any particular plan, all kinds of “spaces” were formed out of chip wood and put together again randomly, sometimes intersecting or connecting and sometimes not.

With a team of different members helping each day, it took about a week to build this installation.
