Roman Ondák, Measuring the Universe, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam , 2010. Criticized by the general audience because of the “simplicity” of his art work, Ondák’s staged installations are mostly living through the audience. Measuring the Universe instantly triggered in me the memory of my grandfather measuring my height at the kitchen door. The measuring competition between my cousins and I was tight and I was sadly defeated by them. Like an alive organism, Measuring the Universe grows as more and more visitors decide to let themselves be measured.
