Galerie Ron Mandos is proud to present Crescendo!, the first solo exhibition by Maarten Baas in Amsterdam.
In this exhibition, Baas takes a bold approach, using a series of musical instruments to explore the tension between lofty ambitions and practical realities. The exhibition will run from 18 January to 9 March 2025.
Maarten Baas, an internationally acclaimed artist and designer, is renowned for his unique ability to challenge conventions and push creative boundaries—both his own and those of his collaborators. The theme of navigating and redefining limits often lies at the heart of his work.
The title Crescendo! refers to the musical term that describes a gradual increase in volume and intensity. The term is also used metaphorically to signify prosperity and growth. For Baas, it reflects the delicate balance between the elusive, magical qualities of art and the practical constraints faced by its creators—a metaphor for human dreams that are often tempered by reality.
We warmly invite you to the opening on 18 January 2025, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
