Tight: Repeating Boredom / Hall / Privaat

Rita McBride and Koenraad Dedobbeleer share an interest in forms coming from reality. Both often set about analyzing architectural features and urban fixtures, all structures which organize space. Their movement and appropriation in the exhibition venue illustrate a perceptible approach to forms, a questioning of they way they are received, and a line of thinking about their history and the economic and industrial conditions of their production.
For this project Rita McBride has reproduced a form of service station called a “roof shelter” based on a photograph. Koenraad Dedobbeleer has elected to shift the wooden frame of the attic of a residential block. Inferior purlin, joists and entrance are all identically made and assembled in the exhibition space.
Each artist has produced rich photographic documentation showing their sources of inspiration. Each ensemble unfurls chronologically, like a travel narrative, and converges in the exhibition views.
