Exhibition '31553580 (obsessie/obsession): numbers and schedules' in Museum of the Mind | Outsider Art
When the world becomes chaotic and intangible, like during a pandemic, many of us attempt to get a handle on reality by reducing it to a series of elementary lines and numbers. The exhibition '31553580 (obsessie/obsession): numbers and schedules' explores a craving for structure and logic in our chaotic world. Artworks by Doerte Weber, Eiko Ishizawa, George Widener and Lionel Plak offer solace for the soul, something that connects us all. The new exhibition at Museum van de Geest | Outsider Art is the result of the first ever collaboration between artist Jan Hoek and curator Hanne Hagenaars. Visitors are actively involved and in the run-up to the exhibition, they are invited to submit their most remarkable lists and schedules. The submissions will be presented at the museum during the exhibition. 31553580 is designed in collaboration with exhibition designer Tariq Heijboer. From 22 September 2022 to 27 August 2023, Museum van de Geest, Amsterdam location (Amstel 51) will be transformed into one big, uncompromising schedule.
