Artist Stef Kreymborg will give a guided tour of her own exhibition

Stef Kreymborg (1953) will be exhibiting at the Museumhuis from May 21 to July 4. The artist, who grew up in Amstelveen, is celebrating her 50th anniversary as an artist with an intimate exhibition at the Museumhuis. She has been collecting and organizing for as long as she can remember. Kreymborg trained as a textile artist but also works with paper, cardboard, linoleum, horsehair, leaves, and twigs. “Everything is usable, as long as it’s flexible.” The techniques she employs can often be traced back to textile methods: Kreymborg sews, folds, weaves, knots, or braids.

Two series of works are on display at the Museumhuis. For the Soft Sculptures, she sewed together cut strands of thread to create whimsical three-dimensional forms. Also on display is the Takkenwerk series, in which leaf stalks from the tree of death’s bones, tied together with thread, curve into three-dimensional structures.

Kreymborg will be present at the following times:

• Sunday, July 12, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

• Saturday, July 18, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
