Kris Martin

End-Points Brüder Grimm

Kris Martin (b. Kortrijk, 1972; lives and works in Ghent, Belgium) makes art that fascinates beholders with its conceptual rigor and elegant play with the physical properties of his materials. End-Points is an ongoing project in which Martin extracts the very final full stop of books that have a particular relevance for him and pastes them onto a blank sheet of paper. All books, from fairy tales to political essays, have this full stop in common. Abandoning all content from its original source, he makes the point float in the void. The total loss of significance and the emptiness are crucial motives in his practice.
