“From a great love of theatre and performance, Caz Egelie breaks
with the traditional form of an exhibition in Inventory of a rented
house. By breaking it up into separate acts, like in a theatre
performance, Egelie develops a fluid presentation where a shift takes
place every month, in combination with a performance programme.
At the heart of Egelie's performative art practice lies their work with archival material on specific places or people The artist finds information in the archives that they then use to tell new stories.

Before POST moved into the Arnhem building on Driekoningenstraat,
this former post office functioned as a stage for theatre. This past
piques Egelie's interest. What does a building remember? How does the
function of a place change over time?
In Inventory of a rented house, Egelie searches for connections between their own body of work and the information found about the history of the Posttheater, which used to occupy the building. Egelie displays the result of this search on a stage on which their installations and sculptures are part of the scenography and where performers function as the actors in a play.”
