CloseUp

Kris Martin's work Trinity I, 2009 hangs like a triptych above a closed S.M.A.K. desk.

Kris Martin’s triptych ‘Trinity I’ (2009) is currently hanging above a closed S.M.A.K. desk. We can already tell you that the exhibition will be extended until August 30, 2020. We hope that you can get acquainted with his striking work during the summer.

Kris Martin's works often raise questions about transience, identity, life and death. By making subtle alterations to objects that are often universally recognizable, he creates space for reflection and new interpretations. Trinity I (2009) for example is a large arrival and departure board as they used to exist in train stations and airports. Martin has removed all the letters and numbers, and left the flaps black. They move in an unpredictable rhythm, without announcing places, times or destinations. The characteristic sound is all what is left, a nostalgic reminder of faraway destinations. By announcing nothing, the work invites us to reflect on the existential question where we come from and where we will go.
