Krijn de Koning "In Here, for This"
Demisch Danant
This event has ended.
For the first time, de Koning has a created a furniture series, comprised of 5 architectural elements which can be easily manipulated to form various functional furniture pieces, like a table with bench or bookcase. The work directly relates to de Koning work in spatial interventions but introduces a more prominent functional aspect.
De Koning will also create a site - specific installation in the gallery, a physical intervention. These works question the specific characteristics of a given location , generating attention and awareness to the beauty, potential and characteristics of the place. His walls, floors, stairs, doors and windows challenge the audience to re-evaluate their mental and physical experience of the given context; inside becomes outside, downstairs becomes upstairs, accessible becomes inaccessible, and vice versa. De Koning chooses places with a specific cultural context,(museums, galleries, exhibitions and artist-run galleries) or places with a specific architectural and/or landscape context, like buildings and public space. More than spatial interventions alone, these works are homogenous structures that can best be defined as sculpture, but that also incoporate the formal qualities of painting and architecture. De Koning also makes drawings and photographs.
