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.
