Catalysis for Life: New Language of Dutch Art & Design
works by Maarten Baas, Martijn Engelbregt, Ted Noten, Tomoko Take
October 29, 2010 - January 30, 2011
Design Superhero Maarten Baas, a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, has been represented by Moss since the exhibition of his seminal "Where There's Smoke..." series in 2004. Since then, he has continued to develop his unique visual language through the creation of works which are now held in important public and private collections around the world. Known for producing work which combines the symbolic nature of the artist's-hand with resonant themes such as authorship, identity, historicism, time, death and rebirth, Baas all the while works through a morphology that is completely his own.
Baas was named Designer of the Year at Design Miami in 2009, was deemed a Design Superhero at Moscow Design Week 2010 and his work is in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Groninger Museum and the Stedlijk Museum in the Netherlands, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Catalysis for Life explores those attributes which define certain design and art as Dutch, and Maarten Baas stands as one of the purest exemplars of that "brand".
