Ganzebosch
Cindy Beck and Ward Janssen
Concept
2016 marks the 500th anniversary of the death of the Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. The Netherlands is therefore celebrating the Hieronymus Bosch year. MOTI, Museum of the Image in Breda did so by showing his legacy in the exhibition New Delights. They asked contemporary artists to create artworks inspired by the Garden of Delights (Bosch). Ganzebosch is an education project developed for New Lusts. It offers a playful introduction to the symbolism found in the exhibition and in Bosch’s work. To design Ganzebosch, we created a playful combination of contemporary visual culture (including digital aesthetics) and the visual language of Hieronymus Bosch.
What did we create?
We created a poster, handout, wall sticker on the glass walls and a life-size game (inspired by Ganzebosch) to play outside in the museum patio. We also made a small version of the game to play in the museum café, so people could play even during bad weather.
Sparkles
The kids loved playing the life-size Ganzebosch and even had their own favorite tiles!
