But repetition can also become boring and monotonous. 38CC's 2014 annual program is all about it. of repetition. No mechanical repetition or indiscriminate imitation, but repetition that not only provides guidance but also leads to beauty and difference. Hence the title: Repeat 2.0. Repetition makes perfect. The first group exhibition focused on art that repeats the existing through the to copy, imitate, imitate or recreate in such a way that a new variant is created. " Part 1: Hans Broek, Barbara Broekman, Job Koelewijn, Aukje Koks, Karin Sander and Katarina Zdjelar
"A major eye-catcher of this first exhibition are six monumental works from Barbara Broekman's On Victorian and Oriental Women series. She 'repeats' existing 19th century paintings by painting over prints with embroidery. Hans Broek recreates stills from old films in paintings His latest series Tonì is based on the neorealist film of the same name by Jean Renoir from 1935. Aukje Koks' paintings and sculptures with the same representations raise questions about what is first and real and what is illusion or copy. For her Visitors on Display, Sander has copied exhibition visitors to scale using 3D printers. She points out new technological possibilities plus the unlimited copying of personal images on the internet. For Job Koelewijn, repetition mainly means deepening. Certainly in his Ongoing Reading Project. Since 2006. he reads aloud from philosophical books for 45 minutes every day and literature. Recorded on cassette tapes, the text can also be heard by visitors. Finally, Katarina Zdjelar shows her video Shoum. In it, the repetition of a famous English pop song leads to a new language. "
