FRANK VAN DER SALM SOLO EXHIBITION
NOW+HERE
March 10 – May 29 2022
Learning to see possible cities
After a few seconds it happens. Your eyes are fixed, searching for a hidden trace that tells you what’s wrong here. Your mind zips through an archive of images, trying to use comparison to decipher what is happening before your eyes. You could also call it the entrance to what the artist makes possible. The revelation of images that is in and around us, as inhabitants of the cities of the world. The images shown by Van der Salm are powerful and imposing. Often, but not always, because of their size, and especially because of their frontal and challenging visual style. The way in which this artist provokes the search for a freer perception is implicit and poetic, but also overwhelming. Take images like Aperture, Corridor, Levante en Entracte. Rather than a photograph, is it a possible way of looking at it?
