Project Rebecca Belmore
Project: Dark Winter
Location: Klooster Mariënhage
In her multi-disciplinary artistic practice, including installations, performances and sculptures, photographs and videos, Rebecca Belmore addresses the embodiment of meaning and sense in the interplay of physical presence and symbolic representation in contemporary societies. In her augmented materiality she evokes narrative dimensions which resonate as an outstanding time- and politics critical potential.
Eindhoven is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, it was granted its town charter in 1232. Almost a hundred years older and part of the early settlements of the city is the castle “Ten Hage”, what later was transformed into a convent.
Approaching the Mariënhage complex from the Tramstraat, Rebecca Belmore’s site- and time-specific intervention inhabits the garden next to the Paterskerk. By framing architectural remains with white pebbles and highlighting with bright white light and its reflections, she stages the environment in self-reference to its changes through history.
