Design sketch

The idea to make an exhibition upon a geometric basis came from Carsten Höller himself. When, in August 2009, he was walking around the galleries he made a sketch that would become the starting point for the exhibition: an invisible grid that could provide a measure and a connection for a number of new works and several existing works made in the course of his twenty-year artistic career. They are exhibited together in Divided Divided.

Proprioception

Proprioception is the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body. The word derives from the Latin words proprius and perception, and was described by Charles S. Sherrington in the late 19th century for the first time. It is the sense that indicates whether the body is moving with required effort, as well as where the various parts of the body are located in relation to each other.

Carsten Höller and Ranti Tjan on happiness and perception

The artist Carsten Höller has wide interests. He conducted biological research into how plants and insects communicate with one another. He put on Congolese music festivals and he pored over the hallucinatory effects of mushrooms. In a conversation with Ranti Tjan, director of the European Ceramic Work Centre, he tells about his fascination for the distance between humans and animals and about his aim to ‘synchronise moods’ with his exhibition Divided Divided in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.
