Ondertussen: Ingrid Mol
September 22 thru November 4, 2007
Location: Hogewal 1-9
The former reception area of Stroom has been converted into a small exhibition space.
On a regular basis there are presentations of artists who have
received a subsidy in the categories Stroom PRO- and SPOT-grants. The
informal exhibitions and presentations are intended to illustrate the
diversity of the Stroom grant system. The program in the space is called Ondertussen (Meanwhile).

The Kleine Biënnale (Small Biennial) is a bi-annual art event aimed
at everyone from the age of 7. For this exhibition artists are invited
to create new work especially aimed at the world of children. In 2006
the exhibition took place in a 19th century fortress near Utrecht in the Netherlands.
For this edition the artist Ingrid Mol made the installation
‘Memories of Ralph Lepaert, guard of the fortress'. In a theatrical
setting complete with sculptures, film sets and drawings the fictional
story is told of a guard who, from his controlroom, observes and records
the world outside.
It is an installation in two parts: there is a 'gas station' on the
hills of the fortress complete with insectlike motorbikes and a
bikerboy hanging around. Inside the fortress, in one of the bunkers, an
office has been installed with monitors observing everything happening
in and around the fortress. The monitors present cartoon-like drawings
of the world outside.
In 2006 Ingrid Mol received a Stroom PRO Art project subsidy for this project.
