2021 DEC30 TROUW

2021 DEC30 TROUW is a unique piece from Edward J’s Newspaper Censorship Project, a project that derives from an early performance in PSI in New York in 2001; standing behind a little square table, Edward J’ would ‘cover’ the stock rates pages from the Wall Street Journal & Financial Times with little dots of Tippex fluid. With a lightening sense for absurdity and an urge to block everything in white silence, Edward J’ reacted – and still reacts – on mass media systems that he considers shameful.
Edward J’ continued his censorship project for years, not in the public context of the museum but in the quiet of his studio (how a repetitive performance act became a mantra). Edward J’ only recently started to share his newspaper collages pieces besides digitally edited quires and photography. We see edited newspaper pages, journalistic images, fractions of texts, seemingly digitally blocked frames or a capital letter or word left alone. Newspaper sections covered with Tippex Fluid, white Gesso paint, ink, white cotton, threads and so on.

Edward J’ (1971, Enschede) studied at the gold smithing department in Schoonhoven from 1989 and Rietveld Academy & Piet Zwart Institute until 2003. He performed and exhibited at numerous international podia throughout the world. His base is Amsterdam.
He plays with themes like shame, vulnerability and (self) censorship and researches the role of repetition & light and shadow on our observations. He also designs commissioned works for (semi) public spaces that often carry titles of natural phenomena. read more
Apart from being an artist Edward is also father, designer and free lance trainer-facilitator for companies and entrepreneurs, with the aim to spark and manifest their creative strategies, ambitions, projects & ideas.
