Anne Beumer (°1994 in Tongeren, lives and works in Ghent) describes herself as a mixed-media artist. Her work consists of collages, sculptures, and installations in which she constantly experiments with different materials and techniques, both two- and three-dimensional, analogue but also sometimes digital. She likes being inspired by her surroundings and found materials. The work primarily focuses on the process, which often becomes its subject. Because of this, one could say that, in an artistic context, the nature and traditional hierarchy of objects, materials, and actions in Anne Beumer's work are made obscure.
For the exhibition “Neon Daydreams”, Beumer analyses and presents the course and process of creating an exhibition – ranging from early artistic experiments to financial agreements and communication issues. The form and logic of the installation are largely inspired by online “wiki-style” publications. The exhibition functions as a visual script, in which the actions and choices of the creation process are made visible. It is by highlighting and emphasising the elements that are usually considered self-evident in exhibition-making that the critique, but also the humour, of her installation at Lichtekooi Artspace resides.
