Jeannette Slütter

Pointing At Things Is The New Writing, the first booklet of a series of three, features the works of artist Jeannette Slütter and includes a transcription of a conversation with fellow artist Francesca Hawker. The series will delve into the concept of oeuvre, inviting the reader to participate in a dialogue about what it means, how it's defined, and how it evolves over time. We invite you to join the conversation and explore the world of oeuvre with us, and we hope to meet each other again in the second and third booklet. Made possible by the generous contribution of Stroom Den Haag and Stichting Stokroos

The MORPHO residency is a work in which participants learn more about the frequently asked question ‘What do you do at a residency?’. It guides you through public and private parts of the residence and tells you interesting facts along the way. The tour was part of Table Sessions, which is a serie of dinners organized by residents of MORPHO. In collaboration with Michelle Woods (Table Dance).

It draws attention to objects that we would normally look over. With objects that seem familiar – but executed in a different scale – I created a performative setting. I used photography to play with the idea of the past, present and future: can a photograph also be a harbinger of the near future, or is it always a document from the past? Writer and artist Katinka van Gorkum added a textual contribution to the work, so that together these elements create a poetic experience of this short journey.

This installation in the shop window from de Aanschouw - during COVID -19 - emphasised documenting the work, and actually visiting it. The work has several layers that you better perceive during a visit and, on the other hand, some are better visible on the documentation. In this way the "ultimate" moment of work cannot be reached.
