Van Gogh House presents ‘Cycles’, a thoughtful group exhibition and events programme situated within Vincent van Gogh’s boarding house. The exhibition explores natural and mechanical rhythms and processes interacting with this domestic building.
About
‘Cycles’ explores natural and mechanical rhythms and processes.
Artists Clara Hastrup, Vibeke Mascini, Inés Cámara Leret were invited to spend time in the house and develop new works in response to the titular theme, the house and its existing spaces and objects – including electrical currents, cleaning routines, heating systems and the chain reactions that are generated.
The works presented in the house lead us to examine how the building itself, and perhaps all buildings, are composed of interconnected, delicately balanced conditions – vulnerable to changing circumstances. It will be an opportunity to question how people can ‘read’ and interact with the house, and where they see the boundaries between technology, historical narratives and nature.
Visitors who would like a more in-depth introduction will be able to take a guided tour of the house, which situates Van Gogh’s time in London, examining the city’s politics, material culture and fabric through the house.
