KIMBALL GUNNAR HOLTH,
I really like what you're doing!!!!! (cabinet), 2017
In 2017 Kimball Gunnar Holth had a solo exhibition in Galerie van Gelder with a stage covered with a tarpaulin, pieces of painted styrofoam, broken tiles, discarded oil paintings and a banana, including certificate and manual (3 years before Maurizio Cattelan showed his glued banana object on show at Art Basel Miami Beach 2020).
A screen set aside on the floor showed a video of the artist at work in his studio. Lonely in the gallery space was a metal closet with open doors. The cupboard shelves were crammed with rejected canvases. You could hear the sound of the film in the background; Kimball sang with a distorted and elongated voice: "I am an artist ...".
