Rosa Zangenberg exists somewhere between the creative and the academic, because she is interested in keeping that unsettling and undeniable feeling—the rudimentariness—at the forefront of their artistic research practice. Sometimes she turns to the visual, to painting, and calls herself an artist, albeit with the wobbly wavering that goes with it, and the material result is wobbly all the same; stuplime, wordless vents in the form of paintings that demand inconvenience in their context.

For the ALL INN group exhibition at Het HEM, I presented 3 paintings, 2 of which were part of my graduation show and one new painting. In the works Old Bread (2020) and Site (2020), I question and challange the canvas as a mere support of the pictorial part in the painting. The role of the canvases in the works take an unquestionable crucial position for the perceiving of the works. Being on the border between 2D and 3D, as well as soft and solid, their human-like posture refuse to be positioned by the viewer but rather aim to engage in a conversation between them and the viewer.
