Jan Robert Leegte Monumentalizes Digital Artifacts at Office Impart

Jan Robert Leegte’s solo exhibition “Selection” opens at Office Impart, Berlin, presenting a series of digital artifacts such as scrollbars, JPG compression, and—all new—selection marquees as material objects, sculptures, and prints. “This ‘drag and drop’ creates a transformation from one semantic reality to another,” critic Sanneke Huisman writes about the Dutch artist’s signature practice of decontexualization. “By isolating digital elements, Leegte quietly monumentalizes them.”
