BAKERMAT – Marion Boon
Oct 18 to Jan 26, 2025
During the Kunstlijn Haarlem is in Verwey Museum Haarlem to see the work of Marion Boon.
The questions “Where do you come from? Where are you going?” form the common thread in Marion’s work. With them, she investigates the movement of people in the broadest sense of the word.
At the Kunstlijn she presents under the title Bakermat a new series of portraits of young people. The core of the series is that the place of your birth is decisive; the color of your skin, your gender, religion, in short the circumstances under which you are born form the blueprint for life. The works are often provided with a base layer of newspaper headlines or photos or an embroidered text. With this, Marion tries to mislead the viewer and ask for attention for compassion and humanity when we are confronted with images in the news that we would rather look away from out of discomfort or shame.
