Museum of O.O.O.

J&K’s solo presentation Museum of O.O.O.* at Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg consists of selected works from the museum collection, a variety of new pieces by J&K and various found objects, all staged into a dense and humorous total composition. In the accompanying publication – which functions as an inventory to of Museum of O.O.O. – the total of 99 selected objects have been renamed and assigned character trades by J&K. In the installation the objects, that are now freed from their previously fixed identities, begin to form a new society of object-beings. *[objecting outcast objects]

During one of our ventures to the periphery of the human realm we have encountered life forms which, to this date, humankind has labeled merely as “objects”, identified entirely as inert and oblivious phenomena. Remarkably, we have now registered clear signs of consciousness and collective awareness expressed in various forms of visionary social practices amongst these beings. Appearing in colonies, camps, gangs and tribes they are rebelling against the man-made anthropocentric world order with its subject-object division and systematising of everything in categories such as trash, commodity, and art.
