Dutch artist Magali Reus created a new body of work for our
600sqm contemporary art space The Calder.
The exhibition was co-commissioned by The Hepworth
Wakefield, SculptureCenter, NY; Westfälischer Kunstverein in Münster, Germany,
and the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin, Italy. The exhibition was
Reus’ first solo exhibition in a UK institution.
In recent works Reus has used recognisable everyday objects
as frameworks for exploring the languages of material and colour. In this new
series of works, Reus focuses on the curb as an architectural motif, using
elements such as manhole covers, pavement cracks and graffiti as starting
points for new sculptural forms. Reus’ emerging practice focuses on material
form and presence, offering a new take on these key tenets of sculpture.
