the dormitory - popop - January 1 2020
On New Year's Day 2020, Bart Drost made a test setup of his work 'the dormitory' in the space of POPOP in Nijmegen, the basement of the former Montessori school. To see if 'the image works'. He set up fourteen beds there on January 1, 2020. Not real beds - after all, it's a test setup - but inflatable mattresses on cardboard boxes. In two rows of seven. On the beds are draped sheets on which he has embroidered lines of lying and / or sleeping boy figures.
In this arrangement, a wooden 'Jesus figure' has been added to the back wall.
