The work of Menno Pasveer and Kira Fröse first met during the group exhibition Reality Check at Museum MORE. At gallery NL=US, they aim to continue this dialogue with their first joint duo presentation in Rotterdam not only through each other's work, but also in relation to the historic space in which they are exhibiting. The monumental building on Mauritsweg, with ceiling paintings by Willem Adrianus Fabri, serves as the backdrop for their exploration.
Pasveer and Fröse present objects, utensils, and tools that have been removed from their usual context, distorted, enlarged, or modified, revealing new stories that build on the past or on memory. This time, Pasveer focuses on the beauty of the torque wrench. Fröse engages with tools and presents various everyday objects that distort reality. Both artists share a fascination with the everyday, which they examine through their own unique perspectives. In doing so, their work opens up a new way of seeing the ordinary.
