MODUS
Everything is on the move. And everything should move. Fast or slow. Whether with drama, seriousness or humour. In Modus, the kinetic installations of the artist Leon de Bruijne draw the attention of the audience by their movement. Whether it is a flying Christmas tree (Kerstboomkanon, 2017), slowly polished chairs (Quick Sand, 2015) or street lamps transformed into spinning tops (Dutch Delight, 2019), we are waiting for this movement in de Bruijne’s works. The slow and absurd vandalism of his works creates a poetic atmosphere in which the public finds a connection between art, technology and everyday objects.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an edition.
Leon de Bruijne (*1992), lives and works in Amsterdam.
The exhibition is supported by:
