“Robert Good’s performance ‘It Doesn’t Have To Be Like This’ captured much attention and curiosity over the weekend, in which he subjected a jigsaw puzzle to a new kind of assembly, according to his own rules and structure – a disobedient intervention on accepted order. I observed an interesting synchronicity (captured toward the end of the attached film) between Robert’s performance and Bas Van Wieringen’s film ‘Possibilities’ as both artists attempted to find a form of disobedient balance within the material structures they were working with.The final section of the film has sound – a capture of acoustic disobedience !”
