What Freedom Is To Me travels to Bonnefanten Museum

March 19, 2024

What Freedom Is To Me, the critically acclaimed survey traversing four decades of Isaac Julien's artistic practice, opens at Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht.

 

The large-scale retrospective makes its way to the Netherlands after having received widespread acclaim during its premiere at Tate Britain and subsequent exhibition at K21, Dusseldorf.

 

What Freedom Is To Me features a selection of Julien’s most important work, from his trailblazing early films and videos Who Killed Colin Roach? and Territories to the kaleidoscopic sculptural installations comprising several screens for which he is known today. Vagabondia, Western Union: small boatsTen Thousand WavesLessons of the HourLina Bo Bardi - A Marvellous Entanglement, and Julien's latest 5-screen installation, Once Again... (Statues Never Die) are presented for the first time, together, demonstrating how Julien breaks down barriers between artistic disciplines using film, dance, photography, music, theatre, painting and sculpture.

 

The Dutch iteration of What Freedom Is To Me opens at Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht March 9 - August 17.
