Descripción de la Exposición
With the exhibition Staging Silence, the Kröller-Müller Museum welcomes two recent acquisitions to the collection: the video work Staging silence (3) (2019) by Hans Op de Beeck and the photographic work Breaking dawn forever (2020) by Geert Mul. The two acquisitions are presented with a selection of multimedia works from the museum’s collection in which silence, reflection and contemplation play a central role.
Hans Op de Beeck and Geert Mul make the passage of time tangible in their staged representations that evoke tranquillity. The works of Lara Almarcegui (Zaragoza, 1972), Marinus Boezem (Leerdam, 1934), Hamish Fulton (London, 1946), Pierre Huyghe (Paris, 1962), herman de vries (Alkmaar, 1931) and Jeff Wall (Vancouver, 1946) also provide directed moments of stillness within the constantly accelerating world around us.
For Ruins around Kröller-Müller Museum (2004), Almarcegui searched for dilapidated buildings in the vicinity of the museum. She captured their decay in a photograph and thus immortalized the state of the buildings at that moment.
