Pris Roos builds a new ‘home’ in the museum
This fall, artist Pris Roos will be present in the Open Studio. Two days a week she will be creating art, live in the museum. As part of the exhibition THUIS. The feeling of home in contemporary art, she will build a large-scale installation: a new home made of recycled cardboard and pastels. Each room focuses on the personal story of a single individual.
For this project, Roos visited several people at home and asked: “What does ‘home’ mean to you?” Based on these conversations and her impressions, she created an interior. Her material, cardboard, is no coincidence: it originated from her parents’ shop. This cardboard held items from all over the world, brought to the Netherlands. Items often purchased by people with different cultural backgrounds, looking for something that reminds them of home.
With this Open Studio, the Rembrandt House Museum returns briefly to its origins: an artist’s home where—both 400 years ago and today—new and innovative art is created. Come visit and see firsthand how contemporary art is made.
