The Rijnbar (2019)

Marcel van Eeden

project The Rijnbar (2019)

Marcel van Eeden (The Hague, 1965) bases his drawings on photos and text fragments from various books, newspapers, magazines and archives from before 1965. His stories are set in the artist's 'before time', in the time when Van Eeden was still had not been born. The drawings and text fragments naturally flow together into new suggestive and enigmatic stories. The Rijnbar, Van Eeden's latest series of drawings, tells the story of a certain Dr. Mac Intosch, who comes to Amsterdam and places a machine in the basement of the Rijnbar on the Rijnstraat with which he can generate energy from the 'will' of things. It leads to an absurdist and at the same time exciting story. With the recognizable architecture of Amsterdam South in the leading role, the Zuidas is a suitable location to show this series.
