Opening Moving - solo Freerk Wilbers

Just a little while longer and the doors to our new location will be open! We are thrilled to welcome you to the gallery with the solo exhibition of Freerk Wilbers, opening on April 30.

30.04.2021 - from 18:30 onwards (invite only)

Freerk creates kinetic artworks and light installations from experimental research into materials, movement and mechanics. In his work he is always looking for rhythms, in image, sound, time and space. Yet, the dynamics between the moving parts are not programmed or controlled. Rather his work is ‘aleatoric’, based in chance, meaning he has no full control over what happens. His works share an element of renewal, a sense of unpredictability that follows automatically from the interactions between the laws of physics that operate on all parts. 

For the exhibition Moving the size, height and lighting conditions of the gallery space make for soothing sensory experience in which the different installations form a complex whole. The physical sculpture and its projections of light into space intersect and the boundaries between the individual shapes and forms seem to disappear. 

Opening hours of the new location:
Thursday: 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm 
Friday and Saturday: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Due to persisting Covid-19 measures, there will not be a grand opening. Only limited visitors are allowed to enter the gallery at the same time. If you wish to visit the exhibition please make a reservation via contact@root.gallery.

We look forward to seeing you!
