For Real Thijs Ebbe Fokkens
7 september t/m 3 november 2013
"Thijs Ebbe Fokkens builds large installations with wood, light, drawings and photographic works. He actually draws - with wooden beams - in the space. 38CC invited this artist from The Hague because of the architectural character of his work. The stacks and constructions also clearly show similarities. With the activities in the construction site of the Delftse Spoorzone right next to the exhibition space. Yet Fokkens activities do not result in buildings. Rather places, utopian or mythical places with scientific or social issues as a starting point. For the exhibition For Real, Fokkens builds a whole in 38CC. new installation and shows photos, printed matter and drawings of previous installations and sources of inspiration. Parallel to building with wooden beams, he stacks up different layers of meaning, compares, breaks open and adds. He makes room for interpretation and exploration. "
