passage

daily change of exhibition

Every day at 12:10  p.m. sharp, the art work from yesterday is removed to give space to the artwork of the day. Some days maybe 8 artist will turn up, and other days 1, only time will tell. Some days, the news can start a storm of reactions.


The Passage, or transfer between old and new artworks can be a moment of extreme pressure, which can lead to an unfriendly environment but also to the potential creation of innovative art forms.

The concept of Passage is central to the ER project. It is the process where yesterday’s artworks are taken down from ER’s main gallery, relocated to an archive entitled Retard, and replaced by today’s new artistic reactions. The Passage occurs punctually at 12:10pm and is a time of transition, allowing new perspectives on current situations and events to arise. ER is a place of renewal which nourishes innovative meanings and strives for cultural change.

Though the process of Passage is ephemeral, ER allows for statements to be recorded in its archive entitled Retard. This “delay” of opinions, where past reactive interpretations are preserved, is a critical way of thinking about contemporary art.
