Next spring Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is staging a one-man show of works by the French-Israeli artist Absalon (1964 - 1993).

The exhibition will transfer from the KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, the first institution to stage a major retrospective of Absalon ’s work since 1994. Absalon died young, his enigmatic autonomy makes a profound impression. As in the KW in Berlin, the exhibition will display Absalon ’s enigmatic works – living units painted neutral white and made entirely of wood. These ‘Cellules’ are, as it were, living pods for just one person, in which everything can be found for day-to-day, ritual activities down to the smallest detail, including window slits to keep unwanted guests at a distance.
