"Z.T." "S.T." "U." (2013)
BLACKENED BOX
From the Italian Futurists at the beginning of the 20th century to the occupants of the Golden House in 1960s Antwerp, many an artist over the past century dreamed of burning down museums to create breathing space for new generations. When he was asked to design his own museum space, Leo Copers transformed this old dream into an act that reads like an inescapable commentary on the sometimes capricious processes of canonization. At the same time, the title reads as an invitation to nevertheless also look aesthetically at the result of this process. After all, 'Z.T.', 'S.T.' and 'U.' are abbreviations for 'Zonder Titel', 'Sans Titre' and 'Untitled', titles usually given to abstract compositions.
