TON ZWERVER - In And About, Or Around (PART 1)
New sculptures, films, and a book
04-25 May, 2024

The Suzanne Biederberg Gallery is delighted to present Ton Zwerver’s most recent work in his second exhibition in our gallery.

Ton Zwerver (forever young) lives and works in Amsterdam. A graduate (audiovisual) of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Rijksakademie, he is known for his sculptural interventions, performances, installations, films, photography, and beautifully-crafted art books. In the tradition of Duchamp, he works with everyday found objects which he incorporates into his sculptures after stripping them of their original function or context. The results can be colourful, absurd, sometimes disturbing, but mostly humorous and thought provoking, and make for strange and compelling viewing.

Time is a recurring factor in Zwerver’s current artistic practice, which is based on an ongoing process through which existing works are continuously transformed to take on new meaning. Many of his assemblages exist in a temporary state, only long enough to be exhibited and/or documented through photography or film before being modified again, while, in our current exhibition, we will show works of a permanent character.

Zwerver also exhibits, lectures, and conducts workshops nationally and internationally (recently in China and Suriname).
