Working 2000

Inventorying session + invited archivist (IA) meeting – 15.09.20. “It was all about boys clubs back then.” – SMW.

“It would have been so weird that this would’ve been seen after I was dead, by someone who didn’t know what it was.” – SMW. “They are lively, and desperate, which I like.” – SMW.

“They would always ask, bring a picture. And I would just say ‘do whatever’.” – SMW.

Rijksakademie Internal Open Studios – 07.09.20. “You know you know it, you just don’t know how you know it.” – AC. “Or you don’t trust that you know it, cause we have been told not to trust those feelings.” – Anon. “When are we allowed to trust any feelings?” – AC.

“That is Betsy, our old cat. People always thought she was pregnant, but she just had a quite voluptuous body.” – SMW. “Normalise all cat bodies.” – AC.

“I could definitely be an androthrope. Or both. There is this instinct to protect men/humans.” – AC.

“I remember thinking – what in the hell is gonna happen to these things (the work no one seemed interested in anymore)?” – SMW. “If someone came and said ‘I’ll buy each for 500 euro’…” – SMW.

“It’s better to be on the apologetic side than in the ‘fuck you idc’.” – SMW. SMW & AC inventorying session – 24.09.20. “I want my work to happen close to the earth. Plants, we respect them inside, but outside, they become ashtrays.” – Anon.

“It’s almost as if I was trying harder to impress, and I really don’t care to impress people, and that changed how I made things. These are new works because no one has seen them, but not to me.” – SMW
