Working in a digital age, Maarten Sleeuwits is concerned with reawakening the viewer’s sense of touch. Through art objects made of lead, clay, or bamboo, he allows the viewer to physically grasp the specific qualities of the material. The artist took a long roll of white paper, and starting from the exhibition space, he rolled it out across side­walks and streets, subsequently spooling it back up; its meandering surface picked up the dust and dirt of the city. Such traces of contact, either with an urban space or people participating in the project, form the essential core of each of Sleeuwits’s works.
