Marco Juriën exhibits light projections in the Museum of All Times.

Marco Juriën’s figurative work and book sculptures by Ans Verdijk can be viewed in ALARM, the exhibition space next to the Museum of All Times.

31 October 2020 – 12 January 2021

In the Museum of All Times is a red man with a loudspeaker. He stands proudly erect, proclaiming something, but as he is encapsulated in the shuttle of the Museum his message remains unknowable. We do not know what is going on in his shiny head. He is surrounded by rosy apples.

When you pass the Museum of All Times, a bright light shines through the windows of ALARM. When you subsequently peek through the window, Marco Juriën’s light will hit your eyes. Like a figure who has frozen in the middle of a footstep, you have been lured by the patch of light. A block as clear ice supports a pair of legs that are golden yellow as if they have been submerged into bee wax. But on the way up, the human figure disintegrates into a shapeless movement, dissolved in the glow.

As the curator of the Museum of All Times, Ans Verdijk invited sculptor Marco Juriën to exhibit in ALARM. In turn, Juriën encouraged Verdijk to formulate a reaction to his installation. Until January 2nd, her installation clusters will evoke an associative landscape. Using both old and recent work, a context is created that invites narrative structures. Stacks of books have been buckled and weighted in a light constellation in space. Stories are buzzing around in this universe, where you are welcome to make a trip between then and now, mystery and clearness, closedness and intimacy.
