The Big Homely Space – Opening night

Welcome to a place where you don’t get overstimulated.
Where you are free to stay and free to go.
This door is not a threshold.
This door is a vantage point.
Look, how blue is the sky?
Can you see the cranes? They’re floating.
Welcome to a place where you don’t get overstimulated.

Tonight, MAMA’s new exhibition by programmer Naomi Brusselman opens. The Big Homely Space explores the role of exhibition design on peoples’ experiences of art. Using her own experience as a starting point, visual storyteller Naomi Brusselman creates a narrative about over-stimulation in public spaces. Based on her extensive research in neurodiversity and the variety of ways that people engage with art, The Big Homely Space places stimulating artworks into a calming and welcoming environment. With artists  Reilly do Rosario, Ashley Röttjers, Kenneth Okorley, Luuk Graham and scenographer Vivian Huizenga.
