The Sequence 2009

Arne Quinze built "The Sequence," a colossal wooden structure, its dimensions reaching 1500 by 8000 cm. The vivid red of the timbers, it’s not just a color, it’s a bold statement, a process laid bare. You can see the hand, or rather, the industrial tool, in the rough edges and the deliberate imperfections. It's raw and visceral, but also curiously delicate. Imagine walking beneath it. The scale is overwhelming, the interplay of light and shadow creating a dynamic, almost living presence. Each beam, each joint, tells a story of construction, of intention meeting chance. Look closely at the way the light filters through the lattice. It’s a symphony of angles and planes, each one contributing to the overall feeling of organised chaos. Quinze reminds me a little of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. He’s interested in scale, in disrupting our expectations of space and form, but most of all he emphasizes that art embraces many viewpoints.
