Because of the importance of the work within Vercruysse's oeuvre, and as a key work within the recent art history of Flanders, it was desirable to renovate *Room (III)*. With support of the Flemish Community, M HKA decided to collaborate with Jan Vercruysse to create a completely new version of *Room (III)*. The new version was to be constructed with some radical changes to the technical structure of the work, making the Room less vulnerable to damage in the future. \r\n\r\nThe elaborate reconstruction of *Room (III)* tells us much about Jan Vercruysse's artistic vision. In principle, his works are about their underlying concepts, but he also needs an intricate material precision to guarantee their formal appearance. The fabrication of many of his sculptures is reliant on industrial processes that require specialized know-how. To achieve a perfect execution, Vercruysse often calls on third parties for the material construction of his works.

Zo ernstig, dat Vercruysse zelf het werk onherstelbaar verklaarde. Vanwege het belang van het werk binnen het oeuvre van Vercruysse, en als sleutelwerk binnen de recente kunsthistorie van Vlaanderen, was het wenselijk om *Kamer (III)* in ere te herstellen. Het M HKA besloot daarom in samenwerking met de kunstenaar en met steun van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap over te gaan tot de fabricatie van een compleet nieuwe uitvoering van *Kamer (III)*. Deze nieuwe versie ging gepaard met ingrijpende veranderingen in de technische structuur van het werk, waardoor het in de toekomst minder kwetsbaar voor beschadigingen zou worden. \r\n\r\nDe uitgebreide reconstructie van *Kamer (III)* zegt veel over Jan Vercruysses artistieke visie. Bij Jan Vercruysse is het het concept  waar het om gaat, maar dit bevat ook een vergaande materiaalprecisie om de verschijningsvorm te garanderen. Vaak ligt aan het maken van zijn sculpturen een industrieel proces ten grondslag waar veel vakkennis voor nodig is. Om een perfecte uitvoering te bewerkstelligen, doet Vercruysse daarom geregeld een beroep op derden voor de materiele productie van de werken. \r\n"},{"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":134,"name":"Jan Vercruysse","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
