'Broken 2012-19 October' is an obelisk which represents in
Bijl’s version version for the
mathematical beauty of the unknown; the disruptive chaotic
surface of broken mirrors and black
epoxy, which stands for the life that lies behind you.
It has, by chance, become a personal work: a tribute to the
artist’s father whose funeral took
place on the day of the opening of Bijl’s exhibition, hence
the date in the title.(http://www.studiomarcbijl.com/)
About: Marc Bijl (Leerdam, 7 July 1970) is a Dutch artist who lives
and works in Berlin. His works are based upon social issues and their use of symbols and rules.
This can result in interventions in
the public space, sculptures or installations that undermine
or underline this perception of the
world.
His new media and installation work has been shown in the
Istanbul Modern, Beijing Design Week,
European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrück, Fundación
Telefonica in Lima, Istanbul Design Biennale, Amsterdam Museum, Pixxelpoint Festival in Slovenia, Olympus
Photographry Playground, Berlin, shaded view on fashion film festival, Centre Pompidou Paris,
Kasteel Keukenhof, the Netherlands, the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem, Marres, Maastricht, Salon Amsterdam,
