Huff & Puff

A strange, flesh-colored clay figure: a face with large eyes, on a potter's wheel, on a dark gray table in front of a white wall.

HKU alumnus Noud van den Boogaard investigates how meaning takes shape and how space, actions, and materials influence that process. Repetition and truth play a key role in his models. These models are more than miniatures: they explore the relationship between material and meaning, while simultaneously creating distance and perspective, conviction and disorientation. Through a careful layering of references, Van den Boogaard constructs a world that constantly refers back to itself. Upon closer inspection, one space appears to be part of the next. The result is an installation that constantly questions itself, folds inward, and gradually dissolves all certainty.

"De benen nemen" (to take to one's legs/to bolt)—why do we say it that way? Instead of just saying "I'm leaving"? At the same time, people are judged if they don't speak "correct" Dutch. We accept all sorts of crazy proverbs, yet a tiny grammatical error can sometimes be enough to dismiss someone.I am fascinated by how we communicate with one another. How we take it for granted. How words follow rules, how objects communicate with us, and how we, in turn, interpret them. And then there are those proverbs, which often describe things whose meaning is no longer literal at all. Do we truly understand each other, or is that not the case and are we just pretending? In my work, I look for the confusion within proverbs sometimes by depicting them literally, sometimes by changing something small about them.
