Dirk Zoete - To be determined. According to the situation (S.M.A.K.)

Drawing forms the basis for all of Dirk Zoete's work. Starting from drawings, he makes models, sculptures, architectural constructions, photos, films and also new drawings. At S.M.A.K. he is showing new and recent work in a varying display that is midway between an exhibition and a temporary artist's studio.

Dirk Zoete stages his imagination. He presents his conceptual models concerning man and the world on platforms and in stage sets that form part of his work. He directs variable scenes with a slightly absurd company of characters, animals and their props. In both his drawings and is spatial works, the emplasis is on the surface: the figures are flat and schematic and populate frontal spaces. They function as signs in Zoete's playful artistic language.
