Curatorial by Albert Heta

Opening: 16 March 2007, 20.00

A flash will happen this Friday at Stacion. But this nothing, in this case is everything. Everything surrounded with (expensive) gold and striped from an interpretation.

A bit like deja vu. An intervention which can also be nothing that we didn't see just few days ago.

This flash, this unique and short aberrance of this work, this obvious and public kidnapping of the doll, from a platform where it is still positioned, and placed in another platform, is a special moment when two art institutions are connected with doll and an artist; Furthermore, this intervention is an attempt to see this work one more time and to challenge interpretations that were associated with it. Naked! The road to get here was fast and fantastic.
