Art project 'Destroyed House Gaza' by Marjan Teeuwen

Artist Marjan Teeuwen creates large-scale architectural installations in buildings that are subsequently demolished following her interventions.

Constructive forces go hand in hand with destruction and decay in Teeuwen’s work. One of these projects is ‘Destroyed House Gaza’ for which she used an entire two-story building that was already bombed out as the setting for her interventions. By choosing to work in occupied territory she lets the local social context emphatically penetrate her work and the tension between the artistic and the political context comes to a head.
