Item: Aux Dimensions de: quelque chose [In the Dimensions of: Something]

Joëlle Tuerlinckx

1995

Installation, 4.5 seconds.
Materials: carroussel, slides, folder, pictures, triplex

Collection: De Vleeshal Collection, Middelburg (The Netherlands) (Inv. no. VH0276).

Joëlle Tuerlinckx’ slide installation from 1996 Aux dimensions de: quelque chose offers an example of the concerns of what constitutes the rightful object of art: every 4.5 seconds a new slide appears showing three numbers with multiplication signs – a clear suggestion of dimensions and measurements of some kind, but the crucial information (Length? Time? Weight?) is withheld, and with it all possible hints that would help us to reconstitute the object of this numerical description. Yet the object is all too clearly there, in the minimalist outlines of sheer suggestion through convention.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
