Simon made a small model of a house, in particular one based on the memory of the summer house he would visit with his family as a child on their holidays. Created from Balsa wood favoured by hobbyist model-makers, the artist made all the measurements to 25 construct the model using the \u003cem\u003eChinese Calculator\u003c/em\u003e. With the calculator\u0026rsquo;s degrees of variation, all the angles of the house\u0026rsquo;s structural supports and contours are slightly off, giving the model a slightly odd, precarious look with an un-level floor, and no segment being truly horizontal or vertical. \u003ca href=\"http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/chinese-calculator\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChinese Calculator\u003c/em\u003e \u003c/a\u003eand \u003cem\u003eThe Holiday House\u003c/em\u003e are exhibited together, which becomes particularly meaningful for the latter. \u003ca href=\"http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/chinese-calculator\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChinese Calculator\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/a\u003e actually provides much of the formal context for \u003cem\u003eThe Holiday House\u003c/em\u003e, bringing one inspiration from adulthood in dialogue with one from childhood.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":4460,"name":"Janek Simon"}]}
