Dutch architects UN Studio have created an installation in an abandoned fort as part of RETREAT, an art exhibition that they have curated at Fort Asperen near Leerdam in the Netherlands.
Opening RETREAT Exhibition at KunstFort Asperen, curated by Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos / UNStudio – 28 June open for public.
On June 28th the exhibition RETREAT at KunstFort Asperen will be open to the public. Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos invited 12 artists to exhibit works which provide surprising interpretations on the theme of RETREAT from differing disciplines and perspectives.
The theme shares a close affinity with the work of Van Berkel and Bos, which combines a rich and diverse theoretical position and to which the artists respond in their own ways with very specific ideas surrounding spatial experience.
UNStudio has designed a spatial installation which reinterprets the organization of the fort and forms the binding element between the exhibited works. The structure winds through the fort like a ribbon, playing with the changing perceptions and experiences of the space, both literally and symbolically. The material and the diamond structure of the installation reflect the exhibited artworks which are installed around the fort.
