“2009 was the year Sands started to paint (again) and from this time we find the figurative Erykah Badu painting, but also a more text-based painting mentioning for instance Iris Kensmil, and texts that are overlapping each other. They remind me of hyperlinks, with different windows popping up-a sort of analog web/internet.” From the meta-archive process diary. – RR.

“MH discussed the set-up for an archive, with possibilities for cross-referencing-‘Adrian would be proud’. Names and relations with people can play a big role and become one of the ways to search through the archive (aside from year, typology etc). It would be great if the archive will eventually become public. Our conversation went on about Sands his website and its current list of names (mostly female or feminist artists). Sands mentioned there have been many other websites before, built in collaboration with Robin, including one that had 3500 links (!). The link and reference as a way to give attention to others. Thinking of these websites, and how Sands used social media such as facebook as a ‘process archive’, it’s a reminder Sands has actually been taking care of his archiving for a long time.” From the meta-archive process diary. – RR.

“Sands has an inventory of his perfume collection, the last inventory was made in 2011. There are over 500 bottles. Monument to Depression is a work. It’s also a perfume collection. And the perfumes could be viewed as a kind of medicine; they are not only collected, Sands wears them as well.” – RR.
