Matchmakers
- An exhibition about the power of materials. Where artists traditionally often worked with one material, there is now a growing urge to combine disciplines and materials. How can you bring two contrasting materials together in one image, so that they reinforce each other. With this exhibition we want to make a first exploration.
- April 12, 2025 until June 5, 2025
- Online exhibition
Works on display
3000 years I – BEAR
2025Wool, birch wood; Soft, perishable materials. Archaeological wood: Iron Age well, about 3000 years old. Always enclosed by groundwater and moist earth, compacted and hardened. Soft and transient felt and birch wood, a strong contrast to the archaeological wood. In terms of color, hardness and age. Yet they carry each other, lean and lean on each other, without one the other does not survive. The sum is more than the individual parts. With my sculptures I try to refer to the double layer: the history that the material contains, the things that are not visible but tangibly present.
