Two standard stoppages
Lambda Print, Aluminium, Miloriblue Pgiment, 2010
The Miloriblue pigment was the first synthetic pigment which doesn`t occurs in natur as such. This was the beginning of the industralisation of pigment – to paint got popular and financelly easier. The installation of Spierenburg in the show takes up the duality between photography and painting, representation and authencity and the fact that both medium are chemical processed. The title derives from Marcel Duchamp piece “three standard stoppages” in which he used the Miloriblue. Spierenburg got influenced by his sentence: avoid blue in mixtures because of its imbecile atmospheric tendency.
