64 Governments

 
A still reminder on the office. Society seen from above. From a citizen, street or society perspective, one can count 64 governments active at the same time. Need care? There are many offices, companies and subsystems busy. Stop at one point in a street and count the different operational policy plans or consider the distinct accent of responsibilities in the diverse governmental layers and teams of mayors, aldermen, deputies or ministers. One government does not exist, only in our minds. 64 is magic and, at the same time, from a governance perspective, an impossible number because of the fragmentation and segmentation of responsibilities, rules and regulations. It is the chessboard in a new perspective. Bibliography Kruf, J. (2017) 64 Governments [fine art print]. Breda: Private collection.

Dominating Frame

The Four Freedoms, articulated in 1941 by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, are about four fundamental freedoms that people “everywhere in the world” ought to enjoy: speech, worship, want and fear. In 2023, more and more citizens will not experience (one of) these freedoms. It is often the (absolute) power of governing institutions over the people which develops a dominating frame with rules and regulations. It then leaves the citizen with hardly any breathing space, creativity and freedom in its living world.

This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® colours Black 6c (system world) and Terra Cotta (citizen) is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is an urgent reminder of how rules and regulations reduce freedom and creativity. The Pantone® colour Bright White (living world) is missing.

Stimulating Frame

Stimulating Frame
Fine art print in room

The Four Freedoms, articulated in 1941 by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, are about four fundamental freedoms that people “everywhere in the world” ought to enjoy: speech, worship, want and fear. For that, a stimulating and wide frame by the government (and its system world) is needed, if not conditional. It will give the citizen maximum breathing space, creativity and freedom in its living world. Four freedoms would be great.

This rectangle archival pigment print of the city canvas with Pantone® colours Bright White (living world), Black 6c (system world) and Terra Cotta (citizen) is perfect for a modern, classic and reflective look in home and office interiors. It is a reminder of how a stimulating frame contributes to freedom.

Lost in the City

Lost in the City
Fine art print in room

The citizen and the city. Many novels, philosophies, songs and poems have been written about this relation. From the daily perspective of city governance, many stories about life in the city can be told. The idea came up to express the city’s canvas as the 64 fields of the chess board. An eagle view from above. There, the living and the system world meet and form the fibre of society. The citizen can be lost and get disconnected from the system of society.
