Inspired by the building, Koelewijn will use the opportunity to bring together pieces which have until now only been seen in isolation.

Much of his work is about looking and seeing, and this installation aims to heighten our apprehension of the Institute building as a sculpture in itself.

The exhibition will show three recent works - Cinema on Wheels (a walk-in sculpture previously shown in Holland, Belgium and Germany), Fragmentarium (now in the collection of the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven) and Running Shadow (recently installed on the façade of his gallery in Antwerp).

Mirrors
Koelewijn's work uses simple means in a monumental way. It is transparently obvious, but flirts with deception. It offers people a new way of looking at the world around them, using mirrors to reflect reality.

 

See Job Koelewijn: Try and see it your way in the Main Galleries, Henry Moore Institute, Headrow, Leeds from Saturday 8 February – Sunday 4 May 2003. For more information call: 0113 234 3158
