"Time may change me, but I can't trace time" (David Bowie)

The exhibition Ch Ch Ch Changes presents work by seven artists who recently, in the summer of 2007, graduated from art academies in the Netherlands and Belgium. The theme refers to a long succession of transformation myths, to which the artists’ work relates.

Chameleon and master identity switching David Bowie demonstrates a double-faced attitude to change in the song ‘Changes’. And the works in the exhibition also appear to long for the emancipating power of change, while being simultaneously weighed down by an underlying fear of the unknown.

Through the medium of drawing (Visser, van Veluw), existing objects (Swinnen, de Clercq) and by taking the human body as a point of departure (Kranendonk, Vanbiervliet), the artists bring new creatures alive, still smouldering from their recently endured metamorphosis. With this, they are joining a cycle of change and reinvention.

About HOME

HOME is the leitmotiv by which we encourage conversation about conceptions regarding belonging, representation and identification. HOME is a fundament, the place you return to and anchorpoint for the journey onward. HOME (offline as well as online) is the start of feeling connect to others. Under the name HOME we also present exhibitions in the showroom of MAMA. In collaboration with young makers we express interpretations about HOME | IN REAL LIFE | NETWORKS.
