Nl:

Het initiëren van de tentoonstelling zelf.
Zoals mijn werk en tentoonstellingen vaak een verzameling notities zijn, zo is ook deze tentoonstelling.
Het is een verzameling activiteiten waarbij, ‘wat is van belang’, opnieuw ontmoet dient te worden.
Dat gewoon opnieuw ontmoeten (tegenkomen) zonder geïmponeerd te worden is de crux om in de tentoonstelling te kunnen verblijven. We plaatsen een gemeenschappelijke interesse of richting tussen andere eventueel arbitraire activiteiten. (also space). Hoe verhoud de hiërarchie, van wat van belang is, zich.


Eng:

As my work and exhibitions are often a collection of notes, this exhibition is as well. It's a collection of activities where 'What is of importance' has to be met again. Just meeting again, to encounter without being imposed is the keypoint to be able to reside in this exhibition. We place common interests or directions between perhaps arbitrairy activities (also space). How does the hierachy relates to its own 'what is of importance'.




      

Tussen ideaal en werkelijkheid:

Een notitie uit een interview van Ed Sanderson:
...
ES: You’re also one of the organisers of the “Also Space2” show?
EWH: Yes, I was very interested in participating in “Also Space2” because I wanted to work with the curator, Reinaart Vanhoe. who has a lot of similar interests and ways of working—a sort of organised but slightly anarchic method—that I was interested to play with as well. I think it’s something very strong about Reinaart—that he’s open to letting things happen, to see where people take their own initiative.
(Wat is dan van essentie naar boven gekomen?...)
Discussion from the first “Also Space” led us to want to try it again. So I got more involved with organising the second one, but like I said it wasn’t something that we were struggling very hard with for months and months! It was quite open.
This is something that is very important for me as a way of finding a balance between an artists’ project, coming out of certain initiatives and interests of mine, but also as a way of building a community, which is related to both of our work. How much a community can be involved and how much it can come together without being over-organised – in one sense this can become a political question....

En uit een email conversatie:
...
there are good friendships and good energies and good time/space/moments to make art. there are also times when these don’t exist. they are all temporary. hopefully, we have made the platform--with alsospace1, the blog, the fragments of conversation--to create a situation with good friends, good energy and moments for making art. (and of course, i hope to bring good food.)
and, for my contribution to the exhibition and my thoughts, feelings, about the exhibition: michael eddy and i were speaking about this on sunday. i feel free to do anything. i feel free to do nothing. this is a rare thing. it is why i will begin the lecture series at alsospace. there is an aspect of feeling safe. by this i don’t mean being a safe artist, but i mean feeling safe to do something risky. it is a similar thing to our conversation about feeling grounded to travel.
