signed with dedication, dated
Het werk van Jaap Kroneman is verbonden met een haptische verbeelding. Zo is voor hem het ‘ontwerpen’ van een boek vooral een zoeken naar de grenzen van design codes, zoals het formaat van een boek, de oplage, de rug van het boek, verfspetters op achterplat, het ontbreken van een rechter kantlijn, de bindwijze, e.d. Op een tastbare manier worden techniek en materiaal provisorisch toegepast waarmee het boekontwerp naar een sprankelend niveau wordt opgetild.

During the Second World War, Jonas Mekas fled the Nazis, ending up in New York in 1949, where he became a key figure in experimental cinema. In “Remeniscences” brief and fragmentary impressions of his trip to Lithuania are depicted. He visited his old family home and reunites with his mother and other family members.
It was already summer, we left the village of Flensburg.
Ships were already sailing in the water-meadow, and
on the coastal piers, on the water, under the fishing boats
the warmth flickered.
And when we went on,
on and on, until we reached Glücksburg –
there, children were already splashing around,
wading through the dense forest of reeds.”

“In The Neutronics Greatest Hits, Marroquin takes on the genre of the music video as the carrier of his underlying critique of mass media. Intended as part of the programming for Marroquin’s Amsterdam/New York satellite broadcast called The Link, the work is both a music video and a documentation of a live performance given by the concept band at the Mazzo club in Amsterdam.”

In 2006 Jonathan Monk told David Shrigley in an interview: “I now think the only thing that stayed with me after art school was the idea of context. What and where things are placed in relationship to other things in the world.”
