Michael Rhebergen | It Might As Well Be Spring

In the late 19th century, the young Piet Mondrian vividly captured the Achterhoek landscape. It probably did not occur to him that this landscape would be subject to major changes more than a century later. Seasons seem to fade, change or disappear altogether as a result of climate change. How does our perception of time affect our relationship to the landscape? For instance, is it possible to see beyond climate change? With his new work ‘IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING’, Michael Rhebergen takes us through the nature ‘of today’ and the nature ‘of the future’. In this way, his first solo exhibition manages to bridge the gap between the landscape in the east of the Netherlands, the current climate and Mondrian’s heritage.

In addition this solo exhibition also includes work that Rhebergen made in Rwanda, ‘the land of a thousand hills’.
