For our tenth participation in Art Rotterdam Dürst Britt & Mayhew is proud to show a selection of textile works by Dutch artist Paul Beumer. The selection consists of works from 2016 up to now, which will not so much form a retrospective, but act as an invitation for his works to interweave and enter into dialogue. Each of the works was made with a different technique or fabric, depending on where the artist found himself at the moment of creating the work. After his residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam Beumer has never constricted himself to the confines of a studio practice. For his research into the history and usage of fabrics and fibres within non-western cultures he has lived and worked in China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and most recently India. Each of these locations has led to distinct series of works, which are now shown together for the first time.
