Expo SOUSVOIR - Extended catalogue text: "Take the church, Haunt the chapel"

(How and why, organised religion should be replaced by modern aesthetics)

It should be common knowledge, that organised religion has been a torn in the side of modern man and his god given right to move forward in life. What has kept and is still keeping him back, is the fear of god present in his heart. Or better said, the fear of loss of this abstract idea that he holds so dear. The loss of this, means that he would be in total control of himself and his actions. Instead of embracing this gift, he rather chooses to stay ignorant and shackled to idiotic believes.

"Believe is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence."  (Robert A. Wilson)


The doctrine that has been handed down through the ages, has kept him trapped in the dark ages for centuries. Even today "modern religion" meddles in matter that is so far from their  meticulous made up beds, that the outcome of their "ways of thinking" harm modern society in ways that are more devastating than the viruses they choose not to battle.   


Our task as modern thinking men, should be to erase all form and traces of religion. Not by burning them (as our Norwegian colleagues) but by replacing them with constructive modern thoughts and actions, until the house of god is no more.

Expo - SOUSVOIR - 14/15, 21/22, 28/29 May, Hoegaarden

The exhibition will run for three week-ends. The location where my work will be put on display is the St.- Servaes Chapel, in Rommersom/Hoegaarden (picture: see below)






The exhibition will consist of a new sculptural installation: "Heliantus Annuus - Drone Field Repitition", that leans heavily on form and sound. This in combination with a big light installation: "Untitled" (for now) and a video: "Guardian of Misanthropy (that unbearable sight)". The works will connect into one big installation that has the overlapping title of "Haunting The Chapel".
