Shelter    

Aschenbach & Hofland galleries

jurriaanvoorzelfportret.jpg (9375 bytes)SHELTER is the first large-scale installation by Jurriaan van Hall since his retrospective exhibition in the Lakenhal in Leiden, presented in 1997. 

The gallery area of Aschenbach & Hofland has been completely transformed for SHELTER. The interior of the artist’s home is depicted the full width of a room against the gallery’s white walls. It’s a spectacular décor that cannot fail to carry the visitor along - Van Hall’s attempt to create social and emotional interaction. 

The familiar surroundings of the house where Van Hall lives with his family assumes a different character after the events of 11 September. It seems to have become a SHELTER, a place where intolerance and reduced trust in the future must be kept out. 

Van Hall wants to share this experience with his public. It was this desire that gave rise to the installation SHELTER - an exhibition resembling a world within a world, an environment that both isolates you and attempts to foster concentration and deceleration.
