CHRISTIAAN BASTIAANS:

Something i had forgotten about:

CHRISTIAAN BASTIANNS
OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT
KROLLER-MULLER MUSEUM
AMSTERDAM

I visited the Kroller-Miller museum when in Amsterdam last year and saw the club mama gemutlich exhibition of Christiann Bastianns. Based on the use of obsolete equipment it featured thrown away cut-out images collaged with mixed media, giant sized coats hung from the ceiling, an odd film of a woman in a bathroom and a collection of garments fashioned, again from un-used and obsolete materials. Ever so haunting i thought it fit in beautifully with my current themes.
