Exhibition: Magdalena Abakanowicz Artwork in 3 Locations – The Netherlands

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

There’s an interesting trio of exhibitions in the Brabant region of the Netherlands devoted to the work of sculptor/installation artist Magdalena Abakanowicz.

The TextielMuseum in Tilburg, Het Noordbrabants Museum, and Provincial House of Noord-Brabant, ‘s-Hertogenbosch – are the three institutions.

“Abakanowicz was fascinated by the texture of textiles and the structure of natural fibres. She used this fascination as a basis for her weavings, but also to depict the human body. She travelled all over the world to set up her exhibitions herself and placed the sculptures in the middle of the space to create an ‘environment’, a world of her own. With this spatial concept, she was one of the forerunners of installation art.”

from the TextielMuseum in Tilburg

The exhibition runs through the 24th of August.

There is a free symposium about Magdalena Abakanowicz on Thursday, the 12th of June at Provincial House of Noord-Brabant, ‘s-Hertogenbosch. To book your ticket, visit this site – https://www.hetnoordbrabantsmuseum.nl/bezoek/activiteiten/symposium/
