What to Expect

Launching this spring, this is Diederik Schneemann's first solo museum exhibition. Expect a mix of existing works and a number of intriguing new objects.

By altering existing items, he modifies their appearance and function, giving them an extra dimension. The theme "1 + 1 = 3" invites reflection on creativity and reinterpretation.
