Continuum consists of a series of marble volumes that are placed on the ramp and connect the interior space to the exterior space, only separated by the glass of the display window. In doing so, Marcelis transforms this 25-metre-long corridor in the Kunsthal building into a space where people can assemble. The Green Manna Marble with its vivid veining gives the installation a lively and layered character. With this work, Marcelis forges a connection between the Kunsthal’s characteristic architecture and the spectator by creating a space for interaction.
The project is part of the Kunsthal’s programme component Kunsthal Inside/Out, which invites designers to develop a new work that is visible both inside and outside of the Kunsthal. The building’s architecture, designed by Rem Koolhaas (OMA), serves as its point of departure.
