Get Real/Get Self

Joke Robaard, Giene Steenman
from 01.06 till 18.09.2011


The Museum for Modern Art Arnhem is the site of an exhibition created by artist/researcher Joke Robaard in collaboration with artist/observer Giene Steenman. Together, they have built an ongoing archive that can best be described as an editorial construction – a spatial lexicon around words such as ‘coat’, ‘scarf’, ‘sock’ and ‘parka’.

Entitled Get Real/Real Self, the exhibition can be seen as an attempt to show the garment as a mediator between private and public culture, in ways that open up new meanings and possibilities both visually and intellectually.

Joke and Giene completed the exhibition by creating reading and image space on the walls that connected really well with the displayed garments.
