VOEBE DE GRUYTER, Former anatomical theatre, 2020
Former anatomical theatre
At the invitation of artist Kobe Matthijs, a lawyer came to talk about juridical cases involving intellectual property and controversies caused by a lack of clarity in copyright law. The subject of discussion was a carpet (Object nr. 002304) which was positioned in front of her on a table laying exactly in the middle of the circular space of an anatomical theatre where earlier on corpses had been dissected.
The spectators sat on a grandstand and looked down on the small carpet. Before she started to explain, she clipped her golden fountain pen to her v-shaped ring and made irregular circular movements as if she was going back to the activities in previous times there.
