Bouke de Vries: Unbroken
The major retrospective UNBROKEN, dedicated to the internationally acclaimed artist Bouke de Vries. This exhibition offers a unique look at the work of an artist who transforms broken ceramics into new, surprising artworks in an innovative and versatile manner.
De Vries, born in Utrecht and now living in London, is originally a restorer. His craftsmanship forms the basis for an artistic practice in which vulnerability, transience, sustainability, and restoration take center stage.
Decay and restoration
UNBROKEN presents a selection of highlights from Bouke de Vries's career, in which he plays with the theme of decay and restoration. The works in the exhibition are largely based on historical objects, but also address numerous contemporary cultural phenomena and the artist's personal world. For example, there are playful references to the Dutch TV series 'Bartje' and other childhood memories, homages to the artist's father and husband, and references to drug culture and war. In total, approximately 95 objects and installations are on display in the solo exhibition UNBROKEN, including new works created especially for this exhibition.
