With presents 'Changing Rooms', Minne Kersten (NL, 1993) presents recent and new paintings, sculptures, and film works in the Coach House. The works are partly inspired by the surroundings of the estate, in particular the Castle. In her often enigmatic work, she explores the genius loci: the spirit of a place where memory, absence, and transformation intertwine.
Many of Kersten’s works, which combine architecture, sculpture, light, and film, focus on spaces where something has happened or is about to happen. The attic appears as a recurring motif: a reservoir of forgotten stories and a metaphor for memory.
Minne Kersten lives and works in Amsterdam and Paris. Architecture and memory play a central role in her practice. Her work is currently on view at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam and has been presented at CAPC Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, Glasgow International, and the Bonnefanten, among others. In 2022 she received the Volkskrant Visual Arts Audience Award. In 2023, her video work was already shown at Kasteel Wijlre estate in the exhibition Spark Birds & the Loneliness of Species.
