Misplaced, Displaced, Replaced
Ilit Azoulay, Bettina Buck, Tatjana Gerhard, Jeroen Jacobs, Agnieszka Polska, Mathew Sawyer
The exhibition Misplaced, Displaced, Replaced presents six different artistic positions which all use found objects - shifting, displacing, reshaping and transforming them. It is possible, however, to discern two principle ways of working with these objects. The first foregrounds the things themselves. Whether removed from their past or still ingrained with its traces, the objects, unaltered but freed from everyday usage, are to be discovered as forms. In the second approach the found object serves as a means to an end, a starting point for creating something new, telling a new story or altering an existing one in order to shift and shape our perception.
