Wineke Gartz : le rêve, la route, le mur

For Le rêve, la route, le mur, Wineke Gartz draws on her reservoir of images to transform the former entrance of the Kröller-Müller museum into a tableau vivant. According to Gartz, looking is not just an activity of the eyes. The body, mind, memories, dreams and experience of the observer play an equally important role, as does the physical movement through the work and the space. With ‘le mur’ in the title, Gartz refers to the basic functions of a wall: to offer protection and security, as well as to exclude and imprison, but she also refers to walls as the concretization of a plan, a dream: ‘le rêve’: a museum for a collection.
