This image belongs to the ‘Philosophical Rooms’ that Van Kerckhoven devised as part of her ongoing Sex and Technology project. This particular ‘room’ is dedicated to the American philosopher Richard Rorty, a pragmatist who famously asserted that there is no real or objective truth, only ‘what your contemporaries let you get away with’. Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (b. 1951, Antwerp) has held recent solo exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel; M HKA, Antwerp (2018); Kunstverein Hannover (2017); Museum Abteiberg, Mönchengladbach (2016); Kunstverein Münich (2015); Mu.ZEE, Ostend (2012) and The Renaissance Society, Chicago (2011). She lives and works in Antwerp.
