Architectural fictions
Enjoying with the confusion of content and type, help and painting, like Daniel Buren, whose scholar he was, Krijn de Koning (born in 1963 in Amsterdam) transforms public area into pictorial area. Typically drowned underneath swathes of vibrant colours, reworked into colored surfaces, typically colonized by modular buildings – Farbenstrukturen (colored buildings) -, architectural areas dissolve: a wierd pictorial and sculptural contamination in the architectural area, but in addition typically in parks and concrete area, as visitors to the subsequent Voyage à Nantes (July 2 to September 11) will see. Confining to the absurd in a intelligent recreation of inversions, displacements and confusions (between empty and full, inside and out of doors, actuality and fiction), the labyrinthine buildings slicing the area into interlocking volumes of the Dutch artist lead to a double experimentation: that of the facility of amplification (of perception and emotions) and abstraction (by the erasure, the burial of varieties) of shade, and that of the mise en abyme (of architecture in structure, of the cube within the cube), blurring the boundaries between the actual and the digital.
