TeeTeeTee


Keramiekmuseum De Princessehof: https://www.princessehof.nl/
De tentoonstelling van Jennifer Tee was interessant: er lag een gebreide deken bij die bij performances gebruikt wordt, mensen mogen er op gaan liggen.


This exhibition “Let it come down” takes its title from an ominous line spoken by an assassin in Shakespeare’s 17th century play ‘Macbeth’. Tee has adopted Shakespeare’s metaphor as a central motif for a new body of work inspired by recent political upheaval and corresponding acts of resistance. ‘Let It Come Down’ is also the title for a collage made from dried tulip petals that Tee harvested in the Netherlands. An array of knitted rugs provide a platform for new perfo-mances. The exhibition will also be punctuated by readings from the selection of polemic literature in Tee’s ‘Resist Stack of Books’.

Co-produced with Camden Arts Centre (UK), supported by the Mondriaan Fund and the Dutch Embassy, Berlin.
