As i have written already some reflections about the exhibition in VLR, i leave you here with some pictures, which, i hope, will inspire you to go and take a look yourself.
When i visited the gallery last week the government was just giving a press conference about new measures and recommendations to contain the spread of the virus.

The next day Nest, the museums and many other exhibition platforms closed their doors.

In a way there is a link between the spread of the virus and its consequences, and the works shown in Fluid Desires.

As Nest says on its website: “…concepts that had been carved in stone for decades, have now started to flow. Notions like time, space, reality, nature, the object, human and the object-man relation.”

That quotation seems to suit the present more than ever.

Nest is always trying to give reflections on the present in its shows, but it couldn’t have imagined when planning this particular exhibition – and neither could curator Nanda Janssen – that the present would be as fluid as it is now at this very moment.

There is nothing predictive in the show – artists can’t predict the future any better than you or me – , it is just that the world itself has taken these works into the very fluid present and has given them a new value.
As I have written quite extensively about the show in VLR i leave you here with some impressions and with a warm recommendation to visit the exhibition.
