Exhibition 'Open-Ended' in Kröller-Müller Museum
The exhibition Open-Ended brings together a selection of artworks that mark a transition. The works activate you; they encourage you to act, to move and to reflect. And sometimes all you need is your imagination to initiate a change.
Between a beginning and an end point
Open-Ended is fitting for the final months of the year: winter, a time of transition, is all about reflecting on the past and looking ahead. For centuries, in the dark days around the winter solstice (21 December), people have celebrated the slowly returning light. The artworks in Open-Ended form a passage between a beginning and an end point, or take you on a journey from A to B, such as in Airport, a sound installation by Chinese artist Zhou Tiehai (1966), which creates an imaginary airport. Further on, you walk through Topoestesia by Gianni Colombo (1937–1992), a dizzying passageway.
