Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen is pleased to present Tamar Harpaz – March Madness. For this site-specific exhibition the artist tracks the concrete structures of the fort. Employing sound and everyday objects, Harpaz transforms each room into an instrument. Together the spaces become an eerie orchestra of tones, lights, wires and glasses. The noise of pulsing percussions and blowing wind resonates through the historical corridors, recalling ghosts of the fort’s intended military purpose.

Tamar Harpaz (Israel, 1979) finished her residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in 2016. Her installations stage neverending moments of suspense that do not imitate an actual situation, but rather capture a certain sensation or idea. March Madness suggests the haunting presence of the military without revealing wherein this is located.

In collaboration with composer Asan Hazaf
