available upon request in the Gerrit Rietveld Academie library in Amsterdam. The original action, a transitory one, took place on March of 1992, 25 or so odd years ago, and it consisted of a clean break with the past made by Dutch artist Job Koelewijn. He employed at the time his mother and three aunts: Cornelia, Jane, Greetje Koelewijn and Weimpje Koelewijn Vermeer, in the polishing, wiping and overall scrubbing of the small pavilion to the side of the Rietveld Academie.<\/p>\n<p>The action can be seen as a tandem of images &#8211; the sobriety and functionality of the original Rietveld design, the cleanliness and beauty of the traditional Spakenburgian clothing the women are wearing while in the process of cleaning. A link to the artist&#8217;s past. It&#8217;s embodying and paying respect and doing that through a class of work, of maintenance and fighting entropy, which often goes unseen. It&#8217;s also critical in the most delicate of manners, juxtaposing the bodies of women with the embodiment of modernist architecture.<\/p>\n<p>How can this work be reframed? Where can it come from, when one&#8217;s aunts and mother can&#8217;t perform the function? How did it stand up to scrutiny then, in the case of family, the womenfolk, performing it?<\/p>\n<p>What was it a performance of?<\/p>\n<p>What would it be a performance of today?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Printed at Printgarden Digitaaldruck Bv.<\/p>\n<p>Action coordination, text and phtotos: Alina Lupu<\/p>\n<p>Design: Till-Michael Hormann<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span class=\"product-label\">Language: English<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"product-label\">Size:\u00a020 x 20\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span class=\"product-label\">Weight:\u00a0<\/span>246 g<\/div>\n<div><span class=\"product-label\">Binding:\u00a0<\/span>Softcover<\/div>\n<div>ISBN:-<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mottodistribution.com\/shop\/the-recleaning-of-the-rietveld-pavilion.html\">Buy<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; A performative re-enactment, or a wink and a nod to Job Koelewijn. &nbsp; The book: Cleaning of the Rietveld Pavilion, dates back to 1992 and is available upon request in the Gerrit Rietveld Academie library in Amsterdam.
