Taste Contemporary | 'Distorted Duets' : Ruth van Beek

In this group exhibition we showcases the work of five contemporary photographers alongside sculptural works by Taste Contemporary gallery artists who work in clay and glass. In the industrial setting of Fonderie Kugler we introduces audiences familiar with each genre to the possibilities that exist within the others.
