Thé van Bergen: toujours en route

26 November 2022 - 14 January 2023

Dear Thé,

 

I know, as an exhibition text, a letter is rather unexpected, unusual. Uncomfortable, a little at least, for me too: this is the first time that I'm so explicitly present in my writing. However, a classic text just wouldn't do - there have been chronological career overviews about you aplenty in the past five decades. It made me wonder: what do I contribute? You yourself also alluded to a personal take, instead of a detached factuality. Inspired by your devotion to your medium, I therefore stay as close as possible to mine.
