'Regarding facts' is a show about artists who make use of found objects and ideas, which are in a recognisable way integrated or used as a principle for a work. In most cases it is concrete found altered object ('objet trouvй simplement assistй', so to say) and in some cases it is about a fact one has to live with. The young Italian artists group Laboratorio Saccardi will show a supermarket shopping bag of Albert Heijn from which a painting pops out saying 'Albert Heijn it sucks brain'. Sylvie Fleury's work 'Life can get heavy Mascara shouldn't' could belong to the latter. As well as her racing suit with custumizer. Nicolas Chardon paints square targets and geometrical constructions and simultaneously follows the lines of distorted stretched printed fabrics. David Sgrigley has his poster 'News/ Nobody likes you', so to say an idea as a fact. Or is it the other way around?
