Kranen/Gille solo
Het Noordbrabants Museum
In 2017, Het Noordbrabants Museum in Den Bosch invited Kranen/Gille to design their own retrospective, marking ten years of the studio. The result was an exhibition that felt less like a survey and more like a world.
Set against the scenography inspired by Edward Burtynsky an designed by Kranen/Gille, the show explored six facets of Kranen/Gille's practice: their origins, and five distinct chapters, Base, Plant, Beacons, MECK, and Meadow, each one a different lens on the tension between industry and nature that has always driven their work.
It was also where the PLANT Chandelier was born. Conceived specifically for the exhibition, the piece was aquired for the permanent collection of the museum.
