Ted Noten solo show in
@galeriemarzee
36 Years on the Move / aka Route 36
A retrospective exhibition of Ted Noten. Not tied to an anniversary or any particular milestone — yet why not?
It begins in 1984 and then jumps to 1990, when Ted graduated and began his career.
+ a special art book presentation ⚡️
Noten’s hopes, thoughts, struggles, anecdotes, stories behind particular pieces — all presented in a brief, light, and often humorous manner. It feels as though you are sitting in Noten’s studio, listening to him — only here, you are reading and looking. The idea for the book emerged from Ted’s close collaboration with
@in2into , his assistant.
@tednoten — The author, The jeweller and The reason of the event
@in2into — Right Hand, idea and design of the book
@elena__karpilova — foreword and some book ideas
« Buckle up, viewer - we are racing along Route 36 with few rules and restrictions. Sometimes pedestrians will cross, wild animals may appear, the road isn’t always even, and in some places it’s downright off-road. The route was built at different times, using different technologies, and its builder did not always care for perfect paving.
There will be places to slow down and enjoy the landscape, and places to speed through with the top down.
At the end of the route, construction continues - the road is not finished, and ahead lies a large, yet unknown path.
Does it sound unreliable, fragmented, or unclear?
Possibly. But as Nietzsche said:
« One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star. »
