The Sculpture
The work of art was temporarily installed for two years on the façade of
De Witte Dame (MU) in Eindhoven and then placed in storage. The Hermitage was donated by the TU Eindhoven to the Netherlands Architecture
Institute and was fully restored. The work’s prominent new location on
the border of the city centre and the Museumpark amplifies its
expressive power.
This parasite-like steel sculpture – Woods’ only realised project in the
public realm – graces the east side of the storage building.
The Hermitage was created in 1999 as a partnership between the
TU Eindhoven and the MU Art Foundation. Woods made an abstract
'hermitage', which represents the tension between the individual and the
masses. [from: www.showroommama.nl]
