Join us for the opening of MOTION by KAREL MARTENS. 29.06.2017 at 019 — Museum Of Moving Practice / Design museum Gent Karel Martens has ten hands for every finger. He’s an artist, a typographer, a graphic designer, a bookmaker, and an educator. He co-founded a school. He’s influenced thousands. Motion will afford a compound view on an expansive practice, and chart a road map. Yet while all of that spans over 50 years of Martens inter-disciplinary activity, the exhibition will remain grounded firmly in the present (and future). Of course, the exhibition will include some representative works — mono-prints of and on found materials, paper reliefs, videos, modular wallpapers, kinetic sculptures, a very early optical work. Consider all of that a contextual substrate that corroborates Marten’s responsive and systematic approach to color, format, type, and material. And his immense influence as an educator will also be centrally positioned within the exhibition, with a selection of publications by his former students displayed on tables Martens designed for the Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem, NL (the school he co-founded in 1998). Consider all of that a demonstrative charting of influence. Yet the primary focus will be on Martens’ most recent work, with several new commissions — wallpaper made up of multicolored icons, interactive video projections, a massive abstract clock. These works were produced for the exhibition, which was initially organized by Kunstverein München e.V. in Munich, while other existing works are being specially reconfigured. It will be immersive — with colour inversions over entire spaces, multiplied by real-time mirroring and attuned with technique, systematic seriality, conceptual operations and a multi-functional zone. In other words, Motion is not intended to display Martens’ practice, but instead as an embodied demonstration of his method.

New building, same principle. Concrete, marble, steel, brick: little else made by human hands seems as stable, as immutable, as a building. Yet the life of any structure is neither fixed nor timeless. Outliving their original contexts and purposes, buildings are forced to adapt to each succeeding age. To survive, they must become shapeshifters. 019-Museum Of Moving Practice: https://www.facebook.com/events/1310128595730974/

NEWWW All of our available time flows directly into our projects, resulting in a website which was never 'up-to-date'—or sometimes not working. But as winter closes in, we find ourselves indoors which allows us to focus on our online archive and appearance. So here it is again! www.019-ghent.org Many thanks to Mathieu Serruys for re-programming and Margot Magnière for uploading the endless amount of images. Have a look!
