Parallel Bones interweaves the work of two makers whose lives are separated by almost a century, as artist Magali Reus seeks friction and connection with nineteenth-century objects designed by [removed] Colenbrander in the museum’s collection.
The exhibition is a remarkable project by Magali Reus in the form of a duo exhibition with designer [removed] Colenbrander (1841-1930), one of the founders of Art Nouveau in the Netherlands. In Parallel Bones, Reus’ own work will share a space with pieces by Colenbrander from the museum’s collection, including rugs, rug designs, plates, vases and samples in biscuit that served as examples for pottery painters.
Reus’ sculptures and installations will enter into a playful dialogue with around 45 items designed by Colenbrander, many of which have never before been exhibited. In addition, during Parallel Bones, which will run from 2 November 2024 to 9 March 2025, four sculptures by Reus will be on display in the entrance hall of neighbouring Kunstmuseum Den Haag.
