MUMU is a project in which the artists Malevich, De Kooning and Barnet Newman are involved in dialogues regarding their work. Mondrian paintings are twisted and forced into awkward shapes. 101 black and white plastic paintings have been lifted from a neoist internet site and reconstructed in the gallery space. Familiar totemic structures dominate the gallery. One literally melting away, the other stuck in a continuous audio cycle. By adopting plagiarist and prankster behaviour Thomas Raat manipulates the belief structures that surround a series of well known artworks and artists, reconstructing the dogmas that surround them and highlighting the loss of Modernist ideals that has occurred.
