Before The Scenes (2023)
Exhibition format and mixed media installation that includes the original artwork of other artists.
|
For his solo exhibition 'Before The Scenes' at Gallery Vriend Van Bavink, Willem de Haan contacted five of the gallery's artists with the request to exhibit one of their works. Studio visits would follow, which showed the selected artworks in the context they were created. Carefully recreated fragments of the artist's studios, that look like they were cut straight out of their original building, were presented in the gallery, displaying the original artworks.
This project includes the works of Koos Buster, Aukje Dekker, Tja Ling Hu, Esther Kokmeijer and Maurice van Tellingen. During the exhibition, the studio replica's were for sale including the original artworks. The prices of the installations were based on the square meter real estate price of the original studio locations in Amterdam, Rotterdam and Oisterwijk. |
