GOOI WOMEN IN ART

Client: Museum Hilversum

Project: Concept and design of exhibition featuring the work of 41 female artists living in the Gooi region during the period 1850-2010.

To turn this eclectic selection of art into a coherent show, Archetypisch and SuopuLab displayed the works according to colour. All paintings, photographs and prints that make up a century of female art in the Gooi region were strictly arranged according to their chief colour. The tonal gradation generated interesting connections and associations between the various artworks.
