Temporary Archive Manifesta 3, Borderline Syndrome: Energies
of Defence, Ljublijana, Slovenija [2000]
For Manifesta 3 De Geuzen designed the Temporary Archive. It operated
as a platform for ongoing research, production, lingering and
exchange. Using border delineation as a frame of reference or
matrix for gathering materials, De Geuzen used its own collection
of books as a point of departure. Themes were developed in a viral
manner as related books, urls and materials were added throughout
the duration of the exhibition. As new materials entered the collection
they were classified under a thematic heading.
