The Precarious State #4: In tijdelijke bruikleen, by Noa Giniger
For The Precarious State, a project that was initiated by SKOR in 2008 and is held at De Inkijk, the artists Eliza Newman-Saul, Paloma Polo, Katarina Zdjelar and Noa Giniger have been commissioned to develop works that reflect upon the concept of identity. The fourth project in the series, titled In Tijdelijke Bruikleen (On Temporary Loan), is a daily alternating installation by Noa Giniger (Israel, 1977). In this work, the artist will present a selection of window sill displays, collected from homes in different parts of Amsterdam. Every day a new display will be unveiled and exhibited in its original state. While the objects are on display, a sign will be placed on the empty window sill of the person loaning the objects, indicating that they are on temporary loan. The title of Giniger's work refers to the signs that hang in museums when a particular work from the permanent collection is on loan. Instead of an opening ceremony SKOR will hold a closing event on Friday 17 April in De Inkijk. On this day all the displays featured in In Tijdelijke Bruikleen will be shown together for the first time. This event will simultaneously mark the end of The Precarious State.
