Curatorial context

Joke Robaard's exhibition 'Stand-In' delves into the complex interplay between presentation and representation, exploring how these concepts define and dissolve within various contexts. Through her work in photography, folders, and video, Robaard examines the formation of groups and networks, and how individuals' roles within institutions are defined and then renegotiated. The exhibition highlights how the poses assigned to representatives in her photographs draw attention to the connection between appearance and the representation of ideas and ideologies, often incorporating art historical references such as the group portrait. For Secession, Robaard developed a new project, 'Stand-In,' utilizing photography, video, and a folder to map the established network of the artists' association and its exhibition house. Seven individuals were selected as stand-ins for staged group portraits, photographed in Secession spaces, partner company offices, and workplaces. These images, alongside a folder that documents the project and reflects Robaard's ongoing practice of creating take-away objects summarizing her work, offer a nuanced view of corporate identity and the subversion of traditional representation. A video component further deconstructs the act of representation by showing the process of staging these images, revealing the potential discrepancies between assumed roles and personal self-understanding. The exhibition design, featuring specially designed stools, further emphasizes the themes of posture and group formation.
