Museum Boijmans van Beuningen
Sculptures, installations
Museum Boijmans van Beuningen has an immense collection of paintings and sculptures from the medieval times to the present time. But what I find most interesting are the sculptures placed in semi-public areas like the entrance, wardrobe and staircase. Here are some tastes:
Richard Serra: Waxing Arcs
Pipilotti Rist: Let Your Hair Down
An installation placed in the roof of a staircase. You climb onto a hanging net, where you can lay down and put your head on a pillow while watching video art of your choice in the roof. An installation where the viewer becomes part of the art.
Pipilotti Rist: Let Your Hair Down
Jeff Koons: Baroque Egg With Bow
Even the wardrobe is a piece of art - it even comes with a user guide. You put your coat on the hanger, hoist it up, lock the rope, and hey, your jacket is part of the installation, out of reach for pickpockets.
