Out of the Bunker

André Ploeg intervenes in public space. This can be in a street in a suburb, a dune pan in a nature reserve or on a field. The interventions are not planned in advance, he usually reacts spontaneously to what he finds somewhere. He finds the materials used on the spot and adds as little as possible.

André makes a number of works in the park around the bunker especially for EXbunker. These works are created in the weeks prior to the opening. The works of art are subject to change during the exhibition period due to weather conditions or due to (un)intentional actions by walkers and will be repaired by André if necessary.

In the bunker itself, photos of the original works of art will be displayed, possibly with photos of older works. There will also be a map in the bunker so that visitors can find the works of art in/around the park.

André’s artworks are minimal, subtle and temporary. After a while, nature or man erases the artist’s traces again and in the end nothing more remains of the work than a photograph or a film. This produces funny and sometimes strange images. Anyone who sees André’s work, or the photographs thereof, starts to look differently at the world around them.
