Bridging Together the Abstract
UltraSuperNew Tokyo gallery will host a new exhibition centering on Frederik Molenschot’s ongoing Bridge series, in which the bridge serves as both a physical structure and a symbol of connection and exchange.
Inspired by the structural rhythms of bridges in the Dutch landscape, Molenschot developed the recurring “Bridge Pattern,” which he translates into different materials, scales and forms. The exhibition builds on Bridge Man, his large-scale outdoor sculpture permanently installed at Rosewood Miyakojima. For Flying Bridge Man, Molenschot is developing abstract sculptural kites based on the Bridge Pattern.
The exhibition brings together three settings within the same body of work: the Dutch landscape where the pattern originated, the island of Miyakojima and the city of Tokyo.
Frederik Molenschot is an artist and designer from the Netherlands. For all his work he uses what he sees and finds in landscapes, and transforms them into archetypes and objects. Molenschot’s passion for making things was influenced by his upbringing, as both of his parents’ families owned factories. He grew up next to a factory, which ignited his love for creating. He now creates all of his works in his studio, where he lives and works in Zaandam with a team of various
creatives.
Reservations are required to enter the exhibit from Tuesday to Friday, but walk-ins are welcome on Saturday.
