Painter Rob van de Werdt (now in a group show at Arti) is also (together with Nienke Vijlbrief) running P/////AKT, an alternative space located at the Zeeburgerpad 53. It funcions as a platform for contemporary art, focusing on art's and the artist's autonomy. No relational estheticism here. Currently P/////AKT is running the exhibition 'In between and let's make things better', a solo by Rob van de Werdt himself. Why not, I guess.
Again, he shows works that seem to be more about paint than they are about painting. Some more cut open paint cans, a Frieze Art Fair-bag on the floor filled with used-up paint tubes, and there's also a football laying around, made out of emptied paint tubes pressed together. The most spectacular work is hiding behind a sliding door with lots of finger prints on it: a build-in space which is completely drenched in oil paint. It's looks like some sort of a slaughterhouse, but it smells wonderful. (Exhibition until March 22, 2009)
