Denkmal 11, Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, New York, 2008, Module CVI

Jan De Cock
Belgian, born 1976
2008
This chromogenic print presents Jan De Cock’s staged view of a museum interior, using cropped architectural voids to turn absence and display into a sculptural investigation of how objects are shown.
You first notice a broad white field cut by two precise rectangular openings that offer clipped, cinematic glimpses—a photograph of a face hidden by hands, a small orange block—so the emptiness itself becomes the work’s subject.
The image dialogues with modernist seriality and institutional critique, making visible how framing, omission, and modular display in museums shape cultural memory and the status of objects.
