Simon Strand Discontinued

Simon Strand?

Stopped?

On A house?

As early as 1913, the idea of the exhibition as a phenomenon began to be challenged by a bicycle wheel placed in a studio. Since then, art has oscillated between a desire to break with the fixed framework and the art market’s need to sell exhibited objects. Now it is time to move beyond that conflict. A house sets up, not out. We start with Simon Strand who, as of January 30, is set up on floor 5. Simon is sometimes described as the PR genius of our time. Others say he is not to be trusted. But then you can answer: just as art has never been to be trusted. Simon is given a temporary place at A house to stay, have meetings or whatever he chooses to do. Sometimes you can come and visit him and see what’s going on.
