With \u003cem\u003eScharrelaar / It is a Roller\u003c/em\u003e Jasper Coppes and Stijn Verhoeff have jointly engaged in this experiment. In a series of ordinary though weighty notes a versatile figure emerges. At his house in the countryside he reflects on the past and thinks about the present. He wanders though the wet grass in his cotton slippers, from the kitchen window he keeps a close watch on his garden. Through the course of a single day we follow the thought trails of this \u0026lsquo;neurotic thinker\u0026rsquo; as he strolls around on his property and surrounding. But by the end of the day his world seems to be somewhat different from what was initially thought.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScharrelaar / It is a Roller\u003c/em\u003e was written for the exhibition \u0026quot;There was a country where they were all thieves\u0026quot; and has been presented at Jeanine Hofland Contemporary Art in Amsterdam. This means that the books have come about and exist within an art context. For the exhibition one unique pair of books has been integrated into a spatial installation. We see the two books as autonomous artworks, not necessarily representing the medium of the novel. Although they formally remain novels. The preference for this medium arose because of its specificity; it allows for the work to be interpreted and encountered within a particular context. In other words, the novel has a specific way of communicating with its audience, the reader; it creates an intimate and private space. Still it is important to us that the work we make can be a performance, a film, or an installation too, depending on what medium is the most natural carrier for our ideas. In the case of \u003cem\u003eScharrelaar / It is a Roller \u003c/em\u003ethe novel appeared to be a suitable form for the concepts we were working with. Finally, writing has become part of our art practice and we don\u0026rsquo;t consider it detached from it.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiteraire synopsis\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026#39;\u0026#39;Ik denk internationaal.

In een reeks doodgewone maar toch gewichtige notities komt een veelzijdige figuur naar voren. In zijn plattelandshuis denkt hij na over het verleden en over het heden. Hij dwaalt op katoenen slippers door het natte gras; vanaf het keukenraam houdt hij zijn tuin nauwlettend in de gaten.

Dat betekent dat de boeken zijn ontstaan en bestaan in een artistieke context. Voor de tentoonstelling werd een uniek paar boeken ge\u0026iuml;ntegreerd in een ruimtelijke installatie. Die twee boeken zijn we als autonome kunstwerken, die niet noodzakelijkerwijs het medium van de roman voorstellen. Ook al blijven ze formeel wel romans. De voorkeur voor dit medium ontstond uit zijn eigenheid; het staat toe om het werk te interpreteren en te benaderen binnen een specifieke context. Met andere woorden: de roman heeft een specifieke manier van communiceren met zijn publiek, de lezer: hij cre\u0026euml;ert een intieme en private ruimte. Toch blijft het voor ons belangrijk dat ons werk een performance kan zijn, een film of ook een installatie, afhankelijk van welk medium de meest natuurlijke drager van idee\u0026euml;n blijkt.

Based on their earlier cinematographic ventures into a contested site in the far North of Scotland, the artist\u0026#39;s novel is a reconnaissance of real and imagined sites \u0026ndash; taking shape as a liquid land that fluctuates between blanket bog, film emulsion and literary space.

Two earlier iterations manifested in the form of a digital film and an analogue one (S16mm). Each outcome can be considered an attempt to register an essentially un-documentable and vast landscape. As an entrance into this terrain each outcome uses the particularities of their medium to open up a new vantage point, and as such generates its own epistemology of an ungraspable terrain. With each outcome this terrain is increasingly historicized and as such mythologises \u003cem\u003eFlow Country\u003c/em\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.publicationstudio.biz\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","description":""},{"locale":"fr","description":""}]}]
