Guided Tour of Escher – Other World
By Monique Varma
2023 has been designated as "Escher year". From optical illusions and
impossible architecture to reflections and realistic natural landscapes: the work of Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) has it all. In 2023 it will be 125 years since his birth. Birds that become fish, water that flows uphill, two hands drawing each other: with consummate skill, M.C. Escher would transform a blank sheet of paper into his own infinite worlds where he would play with his viewers’
perception. His masterful metamorphoses continue to amaze and inspire
people all over the world. We will step into the world of Escher – quite literally,
This exhibition at the Kunst Museum will allow visitors to experience the work of Escher as never before. His famous and surprising prints will be combined with spectacular installations by Belgian artistic duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh. The interaction between Escher’s prints and the spatial installations of Van Vaerenbergh will offer visitors a unique experience and a deeper exploration of Escher’s work.
