Lotte Geeven

During the fall of 2010 Lotte Geeven worked for a number of months in the Cemeti Art House in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The results of this residency will be presented at the Denneweg 14a, from April 8 till April 23. Simultaneously Geeven will present an impressive publicationsoda palm suite.    Upon arrival in a strange city, the city for Geeven functions as a backdrop. But as time passes by, Geeven becomes part of the city. Geeven makes endless walks in major cities where she navigates through the streets as a researcher, with no clear purpose but with all the senses wide open. The mystical meeting that takes place is one of melancholy, wonder and fiction. "In my spatial work I build the props that I present as the front layers of my scenes. I try to use minimal visual means to translate my notes. " Shape, material, intensity and size of these should reflect the nature of an encounter with a place elsewhere. She will demarcate an abstract, mental domain wherein the viewer is located, just as surprised or overwhelmed as Lotte Geeven herself.
