DEED 01:

PLANET RESERVATION FOR ART

The deed was issued on 12 October 2019 in collaboration with notary office Blokhuis & Duinstra

      The main content of the deed is as follows

  • it relates to an exoplanet (i.e. a planet outside the Solar System)
  • the exoplanet is reserved for art
  • religion and politics are subordinate to art
  • the exoplanet is not yet identified
  • it will be an exoplanet that supports human life
  • it has more or less the same conditions as planet Earth
  • to be identified and established by scientists
  • it will be named "RESERVED#2050" (abbreviated to "R#2050")
  • it is declared to be "Intellectual Planetary Heritage Thought"
  • 57 signatories, 43 of whom are present at the signing event

An invitation to hold the "Free Space MIJ" Exhibition at Museum MIJ gave sufficient reason to implement the concept of reserving an exoplanet, with the result that free space for the arts will be expanded to cosmic dimensions.

The exoplanet R#2050, to be identified in the future, is declared by means of this deed to be an Intellectual Heritage Thought (Intellectuele Erfgoed Gedachte, IEG). Since an extraterrestrial planetary is involved here, it does not relate to a worldly heritage and it definitely merits expansion to the correct, new title of Intellectual Planetary Heritage Thought (Intellectuele Planetair Erfgoed Gedachte, IPEG)*.

 

       * In 2020, the title was expanded by adding the word "Art" to become "Intellectual Planetary Art Heritage Thought" (IPEKG - IPHAT )

 

  • The concept of reserving an exoplanet has existed since the year 2000. I gave myself this as a gift on my 50th birthday

  • It has become a project in the course of years, has not gone unnoticed, and has undergone development through several national and international art exhibitions

  • The last participation but one in this project took place on an invitation by curator Pavel Zelechovski to participate in 2. Biennale der Künstler √CODES, Haus der Kunst, in Munich 2015

  • The Reservation Project arose spontaneously in the Paris Metro in 1978, as the first collaboration with Jockel Heenes (jockelheenes.de)

  • The entire project is divisible into multiple time scales and parallel developments

  • An intensive collaboration with Jockel Heenes developed from 1978 to 1983, during which "reservations" took place primarily in international public open spaces. See Page 3, Reservation Service

 PRESS RELEASE

The most exciting exhibition on Earth

The Planet Reserved exhibition, on show in Kunstruimte Coal.2 in Ijsselstein, is the most exciting exhibition on Earth.

It began nine months ago when Henk Wijnen hung up a large canvas diagonally in the exhibition space. On the canvas, Boogbrug Vianen was reserved for an exoplanet, as yet still to be discovered.   The space was supplemented six months later with a platform, a chair, a desk and a deed. The deed was signed in the historic town hall of IJsselstein by 57 witnesses, of which 43 signed on the spot and executed by 2 notaries – a deed in which a celestial body was reserved for art. That was no sinecure!

The photographer George Terberg decided to perpetuate the undersigning ceremony, and his contribution was added to the exhibiton as a third phase by winter solstice 2019. In the group portrait, Henk Wijnen is seated at a desk undersigning a letter to world leaders regarding recognition of the deed in the presence of two notaries and two witnesses. 

The multilayered character of the exhibition and the expansive content of Wijnen’s work together make the Earth turn and startle the sun.

The exhibition is on show on Walkade until March, to be followed by the contribution of Veroon van den Heuvel. Walkade is a satellite of Museum Ijsselstein.
