With the clear message “Wir haben es gewusst”, which can be interpreted both ironically and critically, art and society are called into question.
“Society has many enemies. We become increasingly aware that these numbers do not grow as quickly, the reason for this being that the number of supporters grows faster in proportion. It then becomes a battle of one against a thousand, which is why every chance you get to take a stand must be utilized, by each according to his situation and possibilities.”
Wout Vercammen, in: Triënnale der Zuidelijke Nederlanden, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 1972 - 1973
