- Probe #2 Oscar Lourens
For the second edition of Probe, Oscar Lourens exhibits his Glikoneri models. Glikoneri is the name of a small town in the Greek province of Thrace. Here, Oscar took pictures of what probably is to become a house or a garage. Lourens meticulously reconstructed the buildings from the images on a 1:20 scale.

The PROBE exhibition is an exploration of dimensions, in which everything – the exhibition room, its doors and all the works of art – is made on a 1:4 scale. Oscar Lourens exhibits the Glikoneri models in the PROBE exhibition room. But for PROBE he needed to make a model of the first model. The PROBE models relate to the actual structure on the scales of 1:40 and 1:80 – tiny cubicles of only 3.25 cm high. In the PROBE exhibition something interesting happens. When all dimensions are resized in the same way, nothing happens in the eyes of the observer. In harmony with each other, the changed dimensions uphold the appearance of the original size.
