‘Psy-City’ Aja Waalwijk
The ‘Metropolitan Museum’ opens the new year with the exhibition ‘Psy-City’ by Aja Waalwijk, a cultural jack-of-all-trades from Amsterdam and known as a tireless inspirer of cultural sanctuaries. His mind-blowing landscape descends into the windows on Stedekestraat, where it will cast these dark winter days in an oniric light. Illuminating stardust!
Psy-City
Artist Waalwijk: ‘’Psy-City' (Neue Bauhaus capital of Psi-Topia) is an urban toy¬maquette in constructive demolition. The town consists of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic buildings made of molten plastic, largely sprayed, painted and smeared with fluorescent paint. These ‘Dollhouses of Madness from the Dada Factory’ house (re)constructed toy monstrosities of all types and sizes. The installation is growing and changes shape with each presentation.’
