AT HOME = THUIS

Gallery owner Frank Taal has invited 20 artists to make a special work for THUIS. It is an exhibition in his home in the centre of Rotterdam next to the Laurens Church. His personal connection with these artists has been paramount to the selection of the group.

THUIS begins a discussion about being a curator and how the dividing line between work and home is often unclear. This is applicable in a lesser or greater degree to every gallery owner. The exhibition explores Frank’s deeply felt kinship to the artists who are invited to create a work in his house that will also be open to the public. The visitor gains a special, perhaps even a somewhat voyeuristic look into this reshaped interior and its personal and symbolic links between the artist and curator.
