JUSTICE BEYOND REVENGE. RECALLING LOUK HULSMAN

In this exhibition, artist Robert Glas invites you to confront views on justice. The prevailing focus on harsh punishment seems almost unchallenged, but this was not always the norm. Until the mid-1980s, there was a lively public and political debate in The Netherlands about which response to criminal behaviour would best serve society in the longer term. Glas has questioned various aspects of the justice system throughout his artistic practice. Previously, he looked into asylum procedures, the use of biometrics for identification, and the employment of algorithms for predicting criminal behaviour, examining the implicit violence such state instruments entail. He translates his research into video installations in which opposing perspectives and interests perturb each other. More info
