The overseer (Thomas J. Price @ the KunstHal)
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, KunstHal, Thomas J Price exhibition, Sculptures, People (slightly cut from R, cut from B&T)
Shot at the KunstHal 'Matter of place' retrospective of the British artist Thomas J. Price (1981, Londen). “With subtle yet powerful work in various media, including sculpture, performance, photography, and animation, Price constantly stretches the boundaries of materials, scale, and presentation. He focuses on themes like representation, identity, and the impact of power in society.” In his Everyday Characters series, he tries to answer a fundamental question: ‘What does it mean to either be acknowledged or ignored in society?’ Price portrays every day but fictitious characters, challenging the spectator to think about who is represented in the public space. The exhibition Matter of Place opened with a smaller version of Price’ ‘Moments Contained’ sculpture, which has been gracing the square in front of Rotterdam Central Station since 2023. The sculpture depicts a woman wearing trainers, with her fists clenched in the pockets of her sweatpants. Are passers-by recognizing themselves or someone they know in her? Or is she making them aware of their own prejudices? "

It’s been a while since I visited the KunstHal, so I had almost forgotten how labyrinthine its routing is (there are 5 exhibition spaces) and how brilliant the roof is. It can be ‘deconstructed’—fitting for a post-modern Rem Koolhaas building ;-)—that is, it can be opened to transport exceptionally large objects in and out.
By the way the Overseer is the title of the picture, the statue (3,7 m high) is called All in.
Shot with the compact 'new' Lumix 7-14 F/4,0 super wide angle lens, it will replace the faithful Olympus 9-18, a 4/3 lens with a M4/3 adapter, which makes it kinda slow and due to its violent hunting, always kinda neurotic sounding ;-)
This is number 53 of the KunstHal album and 860 of People in the frame.
