Moosje M Goosen:

A REPLICA is a COPY or REPRODUCTION of something. A REPLICA could be a DUPLICATE of an ORIGINAL ART WORK that REPLICATES an aspect of LIFE. When ART REPLICATES LIFE and another WORK OF ART REENACTS this ACT of REPLICATION, it becomes a REFERENCE to ART no longer to LIFE. When the agent that REPLICATES intends to turn the DUPLICATE of the ORIGINAL ART WORK into another ORIGINAL ART WORK, this form of REPLICATION is called APPROPRIATION. When there is no artistic intention involved in the DUPLICATION of an ORIGINAL (as in cell LIFE, for instance) this is called REPLICATION and is not considered ART. (It often implies ILLNESS and sometimes it means CANCER). When an agent DUPLICATES an ORIGINAL ART WORK and withholds this piece of information, the work is a COUNTERFEIT or an UNAUTHORIZED COPY, and the ARTIST is considered a FRAUD. But when something is COPIED OVER and OVER again and it is obvious that there is no ORIGINAL involved, only REPETITION, most of the time this is not an ART WORK but a PATTERN. PATTERNS are often without AUTHOR but some ARTISTS do make PATTERNS. When LIFE replicates PATTERNS of LIFE it can become ART. An ART WORK can also propose something entitely NEW and ORIGINAL.

REPLICATION: every day all over is an installation work by Moosje M Goosen, specially made for Daily Practice and in close conversation with Suzanne Weenink. It will be shown simultaneously with the installation REPLICATION: all day every day, which is part of the group exhibition “A Room Neighboring the Planet” curated by Rawad Baaklini for the ArtEra Gallery, located at the Erasmus Medical Centre.
