Museum Boijmans van Beuningen questions the human condition with ‘La La La Human Steps’

Museum-Boijmans-van-Beuningen-la-human-steps

The large spring exhibition ‘La La La Human Steps‘ in Museum Boijnmans van Beuningen showcases hundred works from the own collection. From recently purchased video and film installations to popular classics from the 20th century, classical modern and old masters from the collection: the museum shows work from different eras and all disciplines. All works focus on the human condition: the human deficit. Four top choreographers will be creating a unique duet for the exhibition, which will be performed only once, but recorded to film to be showcased during the exhibition.

The 1500m2 measuring Bodon halls will feature the large museum collection: from classical masters to young talent, from immense installations to small paintings, from refuting pessimism to entertaining absurdity. The curators, director Sjarel Ex and education curator Els Hoek, explain the exhibition as follows: “Looking at the collection, you’ll see that artists from all eras and all disciplines have made very personal images of the world. In a way these images are connected to each other at a deeper level.”

The museum will experiment by commissioning four choreographers to make a duet inspired by the exhibition. In the middle of the exhibition, there will be a dance floor for the dancers. This way dance will be a link in the exhibition through which the artworks’ environment will alter four times.

The exhibition in Museum Boijmans van Beuningen Museum-Boijmans-van-Beuningen-la-human-stepsruns through May 17.
