Ask anything

Kenneth Kwee asked

Was vitrine 6 speciaal ontworpen voor dit werk ("Mr Boijmans")?
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dag Kenneth,

Mogelijk is de kunstenaar Marieke Van Diemen geïnspireerd geweest door de collectie, maar het is er niet letterlijk voor ontworpen. Dus gelukkig komt het mooi uit dat we Mr. Boijmans wel kunnen tonen in deze vitrine.

Groeten,
Lisa
Mike asked

Was the floorboard with the hole part of the artwork? I.e. was the hole also brought out of the Boijmans?

Thanks!
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dear Mike, thanks for asking. No, the floorboard with the hole is a mock up from the real floor which is still in Boijmans. The cupboard and carton boxes on which the figure is standing, however, were brought from the museum to the depot. After the renovation the work and its set up will be brought back to the original position. Kind regards, Els
