About one and a half year ago a post on Trendbeheer.com about Reijgers’ work Negerin 2009 (a football made of pieces from a blow-up-doll) was copied by the renowned blog GeenStijl.nl. This resulted in an enormous respons. The content of these comments confronted Reijgers with the vast distance between GeenStijl-respondents and the art world.
In his latest work Reijgers confronts these respondents with ‘the artist Sander Reijgers’. Like before when he managed to have Business and Religion or Sex and Islam visually communicate with each other, he searched for a way to evoke a visual debate between himself and the opinion of the majority. He found the key in a post on GeenStijl saying; ‘Art belongs to a nail’.
