The installation ''Destroyed House" is the result of a challenging plan to create a semi-permanent architectural installation to be realized in one 'undeveloped', once bricked-up space, almost completely cut off from the outside world and without any daylight. In this building, Teeuwen goes on her usual deconstructive way. To finally come to a brutalist installation, in which two uneven squares are trying to get into a more perfect position. Like a phoenix, which attempts to take a geometric form, but only partially and even for a brief moment, succeeds. An abstract minimalist rhythm, in which the feeling of order, regularity and beauty, as well as insecurity, disruption and destruction is sensible (war is not far away).

Destroyed House x Brutus is an initiative of Marjan Teeuwen and Lobke Broos/ROOF-A with a generous contribution from the Mondriaan Fund.

Two extra weekends on view from 08 Jan - 18 Jan

Brick by brick, Narges Mohammadi rebuilds the architecture of poverty. Her sculptures, made from sand, alabaster and flour, resemble a landscape of ruins: fragile, hardened and broken. By shaping the traces of her memories, Mohammadi reveals what is usually hidden: silent echo chambers of poverty.

Narges Mohammadi presents her solo exhibition drawing on her early childhood in Kabul. She fled Afghanistan with her family when she was four years old, escaping the war and poverty that were slowly destroying her homeland.

An interactive exhibition where visitors wander among what remains and what begins anew. At Brutus, Mohammadi found a space where she rewrote her childhood memories in sand, light and silence. A place where inspiration, emotion and space converge.
