FLIP by Kasper Andreasen at KASK in Gent
FLIP — About Image Construction
is the sequel to the exhibition Copy Construct held at CC Mechelen in 2017. Hosted this time at the KASK in Ghent, the exhibition focuses on displaying a
temporary archive of about 300 artist’s books next to about a dozen filmic works. ‘FLIP’, the exhibition’s title, associatively refers to the performative gesture of perusing through a book but also to notions of image sequences, reversal (printing), the flipbook, as well as to the use of text and image in both books and video works. In short, the exhibition is an attempt to show these media together, emphasizing the use of narrative strategies and image construction as extensions of each other.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an extensive exhibition guide, designed by 6m56s, containing a complete bibliography of the displayed books and films.
