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

Jan De Cock
Belgian, born 1976
2008
A site-specific arrangement of chromogenic color prints and chipboard sculptures in which Jan De Cock transforms the gallery wall into a modular, fragmented “denkmal” (monument), testing the boundary between photograph and object.
What strikes you is the measured rhythm of black-framed images and olive-green box modules—repetitive, offset, and layered—so that reflections, partial views and chipboard forms overlap and make the wall read like a constructed architectural collage.
Denkmal 11 treats frames and display elements as sculptural units, challenging the neutral museum wall and modernist ideas of monumentality while probing serial production, authorship, and how institutions frame meaning.
