‘Support as supposed’
STUK, Leuven, BE
When an object carries experience; Jan Duerinck mediates meaning in different materialities. When objects are stripped of their obvious functionality, they ask to be placed in context anew. Banality thus becomes the subject of reflection. Nothing just is, or is only what it is. In his solo exhibition, he zooms in on pins.
