According to Baas, structure only creates limitation. He quite literally plays the children’s game of hide and seek in the gaps, in the voids. At the museum is presented a body of work between intellect and feeling, between what we know and don’t know, between nature and culture, between freedom and limitations, between the truth and a lie. This is how he describes his approach: “If there were a trace-tracker of my career path you could look back to see that I sometimes zigzag and sometimes move straight ahead. Sometimes running, sometimes slow, sometimes on track and sometimes way off. I trust that my intuition is wiser than my head”.
