Maurizio Cattelan: a striking portrait

Maurizio Cattelan (1960) made this self-portrait in 2002. A hole was made in the floor of the museum hall specially for this installation. With this, Cattelan breaks down the foundations of the museum, both literally and figuratively. The artist enjoys making fun of the museum as an institution. His works explore the borders between legal and illegal, responsible and immoral. In 2002, he exhibited a kneeling figure in Museum Boijmans van Beuningen of Hitler praying. This gave rise to enormous controversy: exactly Cattelan’s intention.

Flirting with reality

Ewoud van Rijn (The Hague, 1967) lives and works in Rotterdam. His drawings are combinations of recognisable elements and fantasies. He also often makes combinations of image and language. In meticulous detail and in one colour tone, Van Rijn draws a fairy-tale image of the future of visual arts. Inspirational muses, in the shape of a triumphant nymph, artists as deceased; if you are not careful, you will lose your way in this rich world of fantasy, where new details continue to reveal themselves. In 2008, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen presented an exhibition with the work of Van Rijn under the title ‘Through Hell & High Water’.

Keith Haring

Keith Haring (1958-1990) was, in the early eighties, one of the driving forces behind the alternative art circuit in New York. Together with other artists - graffiti artists, musicians and performance artists - Haring brought art out of the somewhat closed circuit of museums and galleries onto the streets and into night life. Haring’s main claim to fame are the subway drawings, which he drew between 1980 and 1985 in white chalk on the disused black advertising hoardings in the New York metro system. That he exhibited at prestigious exhibitions such as Dokumenta 7 did not prevent him from opening a Pop Shop in Soho, where he sold T-shirts, buttons and other knick-knacks printed with his drawings. Haring participated in all sorts of collaborative projects and gave workshops for children; one of these he gave in 1986 at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam still has a wall painting by Keith Haring in the public area.

Boijmans TV Raw Material, Ewoud van Rijn

In Ewoud van Rijn, the world lost a cartoonist. But he doesn’t regret his decision to take the path of visual arts, for that path has taken him along worlds he may otherwise have never known. In this interview, Ewoud van Rijn talks about the inspiration he finds by diving into the underworld of art history and about the playful ‘spirits’ which he meets there and hopes to meet there in the future. His muses are wondrously beautiful, but unfortunately shackled. He would like to use his own contemporary visual language to free them from their bonds. This interview is a compilation of an interview with Ewoud van Rijn in Boijmans TV (episode 3: reproduction prohibited), which he gave on the occasion of his exhibition of drawings (20 February - 9 May 2010). The interview is supplemented with material which could not, for time constraints, be included in the television programme.
