Good news! The sixth part of the temporary exhibition IKAT, with works by Nazif Lopulissa and Jaya Pelupessy, has been extended until Sunday 17 October 2021.
IKAT #6 artists
Born in Tiel, Nazif Lopulissa is a visual artist. He brings a great deal of new work to the IKAT exhibition. "My work goes back to the carefree feeling of being young. To a time when the playing field is still empty and all possibilities are open. That applies both to the work itself and to the way it comes about. Playfully, I try to define my practice anew again and again in form and materiality. I explore connections between form, design, application and intention. And how these lead to meaning."
Jaya Pelupessy studied photography at the Utrecht University of the Arts. He uses photography to examine the status of the image. At the heart of his work are the processes that lead to autonomous images; an investigation into the extent to which the process itself, and the visibility of that process, strengthens, undermines or produces new autonomous images. "Especially for this IKAT exhibition I made Oya Pottery #1 and Oya Pottery #2. The starting point for these two works is the traditional pottery of the village of Ouw on the island of Saparua in the Moluccas. It is the only tangible product from the island that I own."*
IKAT #6 can be seen at Museum Sophiahof until Sunday 17 October 2021. Curious about this remarkable exhibition? Look here for more information and tickets.
THE MHM COLLECTION IN STORAGE
The MHM collection, previously housed in the museum in Utrecht, has been in storage since 2013. The collection cannot yet be seen in The Hague. Our curators are working hard on unpacking the entire MHM collection and examining its condition. They want to make part of the collection accessible to the public again as soon as possible. They will talk about this on Friday 24 September during the Tjendol afternoon. Read also the column 'A museum without a museum' by director Henry Timisela.
