The Quantum Police
*

/“There is an invisible and little known force amongst us called ‘The 
Quantum Police’. They operate internationally and assimilate unnoticed 
into civilian communities. //Their actions strive toward renegotiating 
the relationship between individual and society and claim that the law, 
morality and reality are all unique to the inner self.”

/

The artist Per Hüttner and curator Anne Klontz have investigated the 
intellectual traces of The Quantum Police (QP) in Europe, North America 
and Asia and will present their findings through interviews, 
performances, writings and an exhibition. The project will be made 
public in three different locations in December 2010 and January 2011: 
Stockholm, Sweden; Wuhan, China; and Brussels, Belgium.



*Brussels, Belgium*
*Valerie Lambert Gallery* **

15 January – 21 February 2011
Opening reception Saturday, 15 January 6 –10 p.m.

Valerie Lambert Gallery will host the culmination of the QP 
investigation uniting the collected and contradictory sources of 
evidence and works pertaining to this mysterious movement. Central for 
the project is a copy of the original 1969 “Quantum Law Manifesto” by 
Johnny Ross and Willie Hansen who started the movement with the goal of 
inventing a new legal philosophy.

The research has been aided by several people who have shared their time 
and knowledge to enrich the project. They include the American artist 
Charlie White, Chinese writer Wang Xiao Ping and a Swedish QP mediator 
who wishes to remain anonymous. Each of their experiences reveals the 
diverse interpretations of both Quantum Law and Quantum Police.

In the late 80s, Charlie White developed a series of performances he 
called “Interviews” based on a collection of transcribed interviews he 
made with QP founder Johnny Ross. White re-recorded the interviews and 
added a soundtrack that was interpreted live by a DJ as White performed 
wearing an LAPD uniform and using materials like glass sheets, halogen 
lamps and vinyl texts. During the opening, re-enactments of White’s 
performances will be staged in the gallery and Belgian sound artist 
Patrick Thinsy will mix unique sound collages from recorded interviews 
with QP followers.

The Chinese writer Wang Xiao Ping has been influenced by both Asian and 
Western writers. On display will be interviews with the writer as well 
as his recent short story inspired by QP and /The Trial/ by Franz Kafka. 
Visitors will also be able to read beautiful handmade “best of QP” lists 
created by the anonymous QP mediator.

The above mentioned QP memorabilia and other traces of QP activities 
will form a small museological display in the gallery.In addition, the 
gallery’s ground floor will be transformed into a Quantum Police Station 
complete with a staff area and custody room, from which the public will 
hear discussions from captive, yet unseen individuals. Outside on street 
level, a QP public reception area will be functioning 24/7.

For more information, visit the gallery’s web site 
atwww.valerie-lambert.com or contact 
them on contact (at) valerie-lambert.com.

Prior to the main exhibition in Brussels, there will be two satellite 
events taking place in Stockholm, Sweden and Wuhan, China. These events 
have been organized in close collaboration with the aforementioned QP 
devotees Charlie White, Wang Xiao Ping and the anonymous QP mediator.



*Stockholm, Sweden*
*DKTUS* 
*Opening reception Saturday, 4 December 7 p.m.

In the mind of one Swedish woman, QP appear disguised as normal police 
and carry out actions that allow crimes to pass unpunished. She is 
convinced that her purpose is to serve as a mediator of QP messages in 
spite of the fact that she deems the movement immoral.

For the event at DKTUS, Per Hüttner will create a performance based on 
this anonymous individual’s role as a QP mediator. The performance will 
include an interview with the woman and is inspired by the early works 
of Charlie White. In collaboration with Hüttner, musician and DJ 
Jean-Louis Huhta will perform using a musical score created by White.

*The audience is asked to wear warm clothes and bring an umbrella in 
case of rain/snow as part of the performance will take place outdoors.

the curator, anneklontz(at) gmail.com.



*Wuhan, China
**Manufactura’s Studio* 

20 December 2010 – 7 January 2011

During a residency at Manufactura’s Studio in Wuhan, China, Per Hüttner 
will be working closely together with the Chinese writer Wang Xiao Ping 
who has been interested in The Quantum Police and their underground 
existence in China. Wang describes how he had long heard stories about 
the police not being the police and had considered it a “normal 
practice” in his country until he learned about different factions of QP 
existing in the west. Inspired by Kafka’s /The Trial/, Wang is writing a 
novel about QP and will depict their actions through a Chinese 
equivalent of Kafka’s novel. Hüttner will travel with Wang as they 
journey through the city of Wuhan to create stories and research 
individual accounts of The Quantum Police in China. For information, 
visit www.manufacturas-studio.com or 
contact the curator, anneklontz (at) gmail.com.
