Valentin Bontjes van Beek introduces Intermediate 10 – Addendum.
The dictionary tells us that an addendum has its origins in the seemingly straightforward phrase ‘that which is to be added’. Today it simply conveys the idea of a supplement – a shot of vitamin C, Prozac or Viagra that somehow enables the whole to perform better than it once could. But what makes an addendum more complex, even scary, is that in this supplementation the addition often takes over the whole. An addendum in this sense is not just the icing on the cake – a veneer or crown applied at the end – but more fundamentally, even lethally, an addendum has the capacity to totally subvert the very core of the edifice onto which it has grafted and taken ownership.
