Status opens on 10 May 2014 at PuntWG, Amsterdam, an exhibition curated by Noa Giniger, winner of Celeste's Painting Prize in 2013.
The word 'status', by definition, refers to a given now which does not necessarily guarantee its relevance for the moments to follow. Therefore, it expresses a position that is subject to constant examination and change. Social media has appropriated the word status and incorporated it into today’s jargon as a space for sharing one’s feelings, thoughts and actions with friends and followers — ‘What is on your mind?’. This endless verbose time-line is an attempt to not let any moment be forgotten or left behind.
The exhibition Status brings together works by three artists in which text – the written word – performs as solid matter and confronts its own unstable and fragile content.
Words are presented in different techniques: installation, video and sculpture, thus offering different encounters with the text; hand-written, typed, and engraved. The works shift between temporary and permanent, laconic and wordy, restless and stillness, awareness and oblivion, spirit and matter.
