Tatjana Pieters is pleased to present a solo presentation with works by Anneke Eussen (NL, 1978) who is known for a poetic and vigorous research into colour, structure, material & gesture. Eussens practice simplifies the complexity of our world through a sensitive, intuitive and minimal transformation of repurposed materials & objects. Her work functions as a pause in a society full of tension, creating a heightened awareness for the present moment. Spirituality regains its power within the stillness of shape, colour and meaning.

Eussen is known for an extended body of work that moves between architectural installations, objects and drawings. She is fascinated by the changing value and nature of what surrounds us. Eussen explores changing definitions of beauty and the fine balance between observation & judgment. According to Eussen, our systems of evaluation are always incomplete, since they are constantly transforming in accordance with how we perceive and experience life & society and what we leave behind.

At Future Fair 2020, we will show a series of glass works made of windows coming from post-war construction and army vehicles, that were stored for over 60 years. Eussen incorporates the traces of humidity, rain, dust and rust as unique signatures to every single surface, creating compositions in which time is of essence. With a minimal selection of actions Eussen brings a tension between materials, between controlled and uncontrolled action. The play with gravity lifts the objects to a whole new dimension. The repurposing of materials reshuffles their meaning, creating different perspectives on existence. Eussen considers the glass works as ‘Zeit-Zeichnungen’ (time drawings).
