MAGALI REUS uses common materials such as glass, plastic and aluminium to create complex constellations of works which include sculptures, installations and videos.

REUS‘ pieces defy categorization, straddling the line between recognizable and unrecognizable, finished and unfinished, intuitive and conscious, organic and synthetic. Nevertheless the result is invariably carefully constructed, abstractly composed and assumes forms issuing from reality.

The individual elements are being left as they are, the composition doesn‘t lead into a defined direction, no intrusiveness of meaning is restricting the viewer, instead they rather open up questions and atmospheres. Particularly in REUS‘ work one can comprehend the most famous quote, that the work is created through the viewer. REUS provides the materials.

MAGALI REUS (b. 1981 Den Haag) lives and works in London and Amsterdam. Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Highly Liquid’ at Galerie Fons Welters Amsterdam, ‘Hands Down’ at unosolo project room Milan, ‘ON’ at The Approach London, ‘Background’ at La Salle de Bains, Lyon, ‘Some Surplus’ at Plan B in Amsterdam and ‘Playstation: A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun’ at Galerie Fons Welters, Amsterdam.

Good news: you still have a few days to view Out of Empty, a solo exhibition by MAGALI REUS at Albert Baronian Gallery in Brussels. Additionally she is part of the group show Can’t Hear My Eyes at Nogueras Blanchard, Madrid ( on view till May 18, 2013).
