Marcin J Chmura @ the United Suburbs

Dear visitor, 
I like stories, architecture, and drawings.  I like making them but I can't help getting them mixed up.  Sometimes I start making one and it becomes another. And other times, I’ll confidently start making another and realize it should’ve been something else all along. 

To address this problem, I squint my eyes until their boundaries blur  — just enough to make them look like one big blob.

Jakob @ Large playfully reinterprets Rembrandt’s Portrait of Jacob de Gheyn III as a public play structure. The painting is known for its repeated theft and curious recoveries, once found under a park bench and another time on a bicycle rack. Proposed as a dialogue with Dulwich Picture Gallery becomes an installation about mischief, mobility, and memory. Proposed as a dialogue with Dulwich Picture Gallery, this project aims to reimagine the painting as a children’s play area.
