SHELLS, DE LEGE VERZAMELING
The artist Ben Schot (Rotterdam) was invited by Boijmans Van Beuningen for a project concerning the museum as an institute. Title of his exhibition is ‘Shells’ and in for project, Ben Schot translated the publication ‘The Blind Shell – a brief investigation of shell-collecting’, , a biologist from Sweden. Jakobson investigated the history of theshell-collection from an unusual perspective. Ben Schot used this investigation of the shell-collection to compare with the art-collection of the museum. His conclusion is that the museum has deeper roots in language than in visual culture and that the collection is less accessible than it seems.
