LEO VROEGINDEWEIJ
Sculpture
30 May – 4 Sep 2024
One of the most innovative contemporary artists, the sculptor LEO VROEGINDEWEIJ (1955, NL) works at the intersection of a formal and conceptual vocabulary. Over the course of his 45-year sculptural practice, his natural tools have come to include uncontrolled circumstances, time and space, and an ingenious interpretation of the notions of scale and measurement in art. Now, Vroegindeweij returns to TMH with an overview show of his earlier and more recent sculptures. The presentation follows his highly acclaimed Ephemeral Project created for TMH in 2022.
Vroegindeweij is featured in numerous museum collections and displays. In 2015 the Kröller-Müller Museum added his 1992 monumental work to its famed sculpture park. And his Apollolaan installation was a pivotal contribution to the Amsterdam sculpture biennale ARTZUID 2017, curated by Rudi Fuchs, former director of the Stedelijk Museum. Winner of the 1985 Prix de Rome, Vroegindeweij was associated with the distinguished avant-garde gallery Art & Project, 1968-2001, and has since played a prominent role in curated and institutional surveys of Dutch art. Vroegindeweij lives and works in Amsterdam and in Méligny-le-Grand, FR.
