Here/Hier: Frank Halmans

Robbert Roos, Nils van Beek, Philip Peters, Tom van den Berge

Dutch artist Frank Halmans (Heerlen 1963) has his own look at the built environment. In sculptures and models he examines the physical characteristics of the concept 'house' and ‘living’. In this monograph a comprehensive selection of his models, drawings, sketches and drawings for the sculptures to organic projects, commissioned art works, and installations are presented.

In Frank Halmans' work one often discerns a fascination for boundaries. Somewhere between present and past or between sleep and waking are little pieces of no man's land. Halmans focuses on the twilight between memory and actual perception, and on the physical transition between inside and outside.
