FIUWAC 438-2003 Jacobus Kloppenburg 438-2003: K (Kloppenburg), NL: Trashthetical Litterarture ‘Voiture 9/109’. Several objects, in showcase, 2003. Note: "Voiture 9/109". It starts when a railway carton, used for the numbering of carriages, is picked up on the platform, in this case number 9. When Kloppenburg picks it up (because of the remarkable colour and character) and turns it around, it shows another number on the back; 109, his archive address on Lauriergracht Amsterdam. It is put in a plastic bag and taken into the train where he draws on the plastic bag with a pencil, eats a banana and cuts the peel with a penknife, hangs out of the window and watches (he prefers not to look through glass), draws and calculates on a cigar box, smokes (especially because of the inspiring curtain of smoke), drinks port and buttermilk from the glass which he brought along, etc. At arrival he picks up some more things from the street and as such, by a logical chain of independent events, a homogenous and completely unconstrained artwork emerges. It receives the 'coincidentally' provided name: Voiture 9/109
