Destroyed House Brutus | Marjan Teeuwen

Enter the deepest rooms of the former port complex and find the Destroyed House Brutus by Marjan Teeuwen. Her search, together with ROOF-A, for a suitable building for an installation resulted in a challenging plan to create a semi-permanent architectural installation. This was  realized in one ‘undeveloped’, once bricked-up space, almost completely cut off from the outside world and without any daylight. In this building, Teeuwen carries on her usual deconstructive way. To finally come to a brutalist installation, in which two uneven squares are trying to get into a more perfect position. Like a phoenix, which attempts to take a geometric form, but only partially and even for a brief moment, succeeds. An abstract minimalist rhythm, in which the feeling of order, regularity and beauty, as well as insecurity, disruption and destruction is sensible (war is not far away).
