Curatorial context

The exhibition 'Papertrails' invites visitors into the distinct artistic universes of Susanna Inglada and Bente Wilms, where traditional boundaries of artistic media are explored and expanded. Susanna Inglada, based in Amsterdam, presents work that is both powerful and clear, offering a vision on contemporary society that ranges from tender subjects like motherhood to the challenging political climate. Her installations command attention and invite active participation, with 'Papertrails' showcasing not only her well-known works on paper but also new, previously unseen textile and animated pieces. Bente Wilms, who resides and works in Utrecht, responds to the chaos of everyday life by creating entirely new worlds. Her art, shaped from drawings and pop culture cutouts that initially appear unrelated, results in three-dimensional installations possessing a fairytale-like, absurdist quality. Wilms' work in 'Papertrails' features new installations described as grander, more chaotic, and more immersive than her previous creations, demonstrating a bold evolution in her artistic practice.
