Introduction:
Chatten opens an ongoing process title Conversations.
It explores the
rhetoric of the art collection and the museum as container of
valoe´s artifacts and producer of narrative, belief and
patrimonial pathos. It develops the construction of a
collections as mise-in-scène.

Decription:
Chat
are conversations between objects. These objects act -by mean
of dialogues- testimonies of the Rotterdam community members and
documents from the collection pieces of Boijmans Museum Art Apply
Department.
Chat is comprised of:
-10 (3d) schemes of plastic kitchen vessels with whose scale has
been increased to nearly human dimensions, more ten speakers,
one for each vessel, with a human voice.
-Two video monitors
- Ambient sound in real time in the presentation space ( installed
in an ample social space (10 x 20 meters).
- Several circular industrially colored seats were incorporated
to invite visitors to sit, look and listen.
Each one of the ten recipients has an associated speaker, a voice,
and these voices are perceived spatially.
The sensation that the objects converse among themselves is created
through an artifice in the daily events of the De Vriese Pavillion.
They are recipient-emitting. The video is the action from a juggler
performed that is situated between manual dexterity and chance.
PROCESS
Through the device of amplification and projection unfolding procedures
taken from art, games, industrial systems.
Chat is a project from artistic residences in Rotterdam (3 months
in Duende and 3 months in Kaus Autralis).
The
project beginning with a black and white flyer (20 x 30 cm) with
dotted-line drawings of various recipients used for eating or
from the kitchen. They was distributed from different locations
in the city of Rotterdam. The people were invited to participate
by mean of choose one of the items and complete it with stories,
drawings or images, other people asked interviews. 80 testimonies
were collected.
In collaboration with the artist Gert Rietveld we design a flyers-game
to internet: jueguito. This game invited to choose, to paint and
to tell a story about dishes or similar.
The testimonies were organized by mean of performatical dialogues
by the writer Pablo Pérez. He constructed groups of stories
according to the type of recipient. He created the identity of
each piece with all stories.The dialogues were interpreted by
25 voices, recorded, edited and synchronized by the net artist
Jorge Haro. The musician Leandro Fresco realized the sound for
the video projection.
Containers and recipients (high density polyethylene) in different
sizes for different uses ( to store foodstuffs, chemicals, etc.)
were adapted with minimal interventions to the schematic dishes,
to resemble the images selected by the people in Rotterdam and
those from the museum’s collection.
The artist Tamara Stuby designed a website to document the work
in progress, the audience could sail the site in the exhibition
room.
