Metahaven
Artist collective Metahaven was formed in 2007 in Amsterdam, by graphic designers Vinca Kruk (b.1980 in Leiden) and Daniel van der Velden (b. 1971 in Rotterdam). Since its foundation, the collective has been engaged in the fields of art, design, literature, cinema, and fashion, with a focus on graphic design within evolving digital technologies. Metahaven's critical attitude and philosophical inquiries set them apart as a unique entity. Their commentary on geopolitical and media representation through filmmaking and design not only challenges the boundaries of aesthetic language, but also gives rise to poetic and metaphysical questions—interwoven with a diverse array of texts and images from science fiction, animation, and children's books.
The exhibition showcases Metahaven's new work series Holding the Storm (2023), commissioned by Asakusa, and the video installation Chaos Theory (2021), which explores the intricacies of linguistic expression for the real and imaginary beings from the perspective of caring for and about children. The exhibition also features the related textile series Arrows (2020), Blossoms (2021), Secrets (2021), Swans (2023) and Bus Seats (2023).
