Exhibition summary

Cecilia Rebergen's exhibition 'FLOW, PROCEED' showcases her experimental approach to sculpture, combining meticulous research into historical manuscripts with bold, physical execution. The work investigates the essence of writing and the artist's role through a blend of refined cultural-historical exploration and primal artistic action.

Curatorial context

Cecilia Rebergen's (b. 1991) exhibition 'FLOW, PROCEED' delves into her characteristic artistic practice, which thrives on playful disruption and boundary-pushing within her chosen materials and concepts. Rebergen embraces the release of expectations and desires as a means to freely engage with her work, accepting the inherent risks and potential transformative or destructive consequences. The quality of the final outcome is significantly influenced by the 'flow' achieved in this dynamic interplay. Prior to the physical creation of sculptures, Rebergen engages in a phase of deep concentration and meticulousness, drawing inspiration from ancient manuscripts and writings. Her painted letters and signs on the sculptures serve as an investigation into the core of script. By painting a script, she aims to gain a profound understanding of its essence. The convergence of refined cultural-historical research with primal, bodily expression results in sculptures that are grand, distorted, yet elegant. For Rebergen, the tension generated by this clash of opposites embodies the essence of artistry and the human condition.
