Book launch "Presence. Ilona Plaum" May 8th 7 PM | Huis Marseille, Amsterdam

We would like to invite you to join the launch of Presence, the first monograph on the work of artist Ilona Plaum on Thursday May 8th at Huis Marseille in Amsterdam. Text by Hans den Hartog Jager, and Ilona Plaum, design by Janna Meeus (Meeusontwerpt).
'Rather than an object, a plant occurs to me as a moving space, as a parallel universe. They make me aware of a different time flow. Besides this, their presence is silent.' - Ilona Plaum
