The museum room was designed for video artist Ingel Vaikla’s first solo exhibition You Have Become the Space. Vaikla’s work is based on the life of the last remaining nuns at the Roosenberg monastery, designed by the Dutch Benedictine architect Dom Hans van der Laan in 1975. Working closely with the artist and the curator, it became clear that it is softness and volatility that should guide and shape the experience of the exhibition. The final installation built of jute felt and timber was a spatial and acoustic environment for Vaikla’s slow and tactile film screenings and sound installations, which reverberated Hans van der Laan’s compositional building orders and garment drawings as part of his gesamtkunstwerk designs. LLRRLLRR also contributed to the exhibition catalogue by interviewing Caroline Voet, author of the book: Dom Hans Van Der Laan - A House For The Mind.
