“I biro a profile clean,
mistaking shadows for symmetry,
lost in the scattering
coherence in curiosity."

Comment: "My first intro to Van Veluw was in 2008 through photographs of his face with ballpoint marks. To me these were a piece of theatre concerned more about self-erasure then self-expression. In his later work 'The Origin of the Beginning', I started wondering if Van Veluw's work was not more about finding a place for himself and mankind in general within the grand scheme of nature and the divine. And this became clear in 'The Relativity of Matter' where Van Veluw becomes the accomplished maker of the wunderkammer, fingering perhaps at the idea behind the museums today and their collections. And here again he attempts to erase out his profile from his darkened archive rooms, beautifully challenging ideas of the formation, preservation and interpretation of an impossible collection. Fabulous." - Raj
