On December 9, the van Buuren Museum & Gardens invites you to meet Mathias C. Pfund. The program includes a presentation of his artistic intervention, a musical interlude by Chloé Larrère and Adrien Guerne, followed by a reading of one of Erik Satie’s talks.
December 9, 2024, at 4:15 PM. In French.
Through “Un temps très vieux”, Mathias C. Pfund presents an in situ intervention inspired by the world of Erik Satie. This installation blends sculpture, music, and history, in dialogue with the museum’s piano, evoking the subtle connections between Satie and the space. Illustrated objects, fictitious calling cards, and historical reinterpretations add depth to this reflection on memory, time, and transience. An installation to discover within the unique atmosphere of the villa.
Built in 1928, David van Buuren’s house presents an Amsterdam School exterior and an Art Deco interior by renowned decorators from Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. With original rare furniture, carpets, stained glass, sculptures, and paintings from the 16th through to the 20th centuries, it retains the feel of a private home. The gardens, designed by Jules Buyssens in the 1920s and René Pechère in the 1960s, include the Regular, Picturesque and Rose Gardens, as well as the Labyrinth and the Heart Garden, making it an ideal place for strolling and reflection.
