Bastienne Kramer: Home Made Energy

Bastienne Kramer’s work explores the realms of sculpture and installation as part of her ongoing research into subjects rooted in clichés emerging from pop culture. She does this by drawing wicked connections that bridge the ancient and the contemporary, conventional and unconventional, elitist and mundane. The Dutch artist combines familiar and unfamiliar objects in unorthodox ways, leading to completely contrary and sometimes even usable objects. While her works are distinctive in form and figuration, the interventions comment on cultural and political phenomena within society. An exhibition in book form, ‘Home Made Energy’ presents a broad survey of Kramer’s oeuvre.
