Self-censorship in Cancelculture | Nabuurs&VanDoorn

The work we have taken with us we made especially for the occasion. Chris Dercon, a Belgian art historian, curator, and museum director wrote in the Brussels based contemporary art magazine Glean that the most common feature between artists living and working today is self-censorship. For this work, we copied and hand-scratched a real estate agent's brochure and combined it with the sign of a trash bag that we, where we live, see every time when we take out the trash. It is a work on paper on which we first applied latex before starting to draw on top of it. This effects in stretched and stressed lines. In our work we have always used self-censorship as a gesture to express our precarious position.
