Chalk drawings for TENT, Rotterdam, formerly a school for girls and technical education.
Testing the relation between reading, writing, movement and time, the drawings expand
from the history of the building to the city – where the title ‘Open and faster’, an improvised
hand-written sign for bypassing a construction site blocking a cycling path – is found. A
raw building material in unfixed state, the chalk reflects on the upsurge of construction in
Rotterdam over the last years, and shows the movement of visitors through the space, as
the markings gradually spread and disintegrate through the duration of the exhibition.
