It seemed to be a huge flood of sunflower seed husks, in reality it was a flat scenery of over 100 million individually porcelain replicas of the seed. Handmade in China.

JOELLE TUERLINCKX, Dacht en Nacht Open 24/24 – Open Museum, 1997 [poster]

JOELLE TUERLINCKX, Dacht en Nacht Open 24/24 – Open Museum, 1997 (also known as “Openstelling”)
91,5 x 62 cm
double-sided poster designed by Joëlle Tuerlinckx
published by Provinciaal Museum, Hasselt, Belgium
inv.JTue 000-pr

Joëlle told me that after the opening of her exhibition ‘Dacht en Nacht Open’ she was informed by Stanley Brouwn that he does not appreciate to be mentioned in exhibitions he does not know about. Joëlle decided to meet his wish by crossing out his name on the posters. Recently she told me that this crossing is a drawing for her and that she would even be willing to sign it as such in case such a crossed poster would pop up somewhere.
