Tirzo Martha - Chronic Monochrome

The works were created after the artist was admitted to hospitals in Colombia and Curacao in 2018 following a heart infection, and also mark a turning point in Martha's oeuvre. A selection from this series is also on display in the Netherlands for the first time in the Intensive Care exhibition at museum van Bommel van Dam. Authors Adi Martis and Rob Perree elaborate on the themes in this series and its position within Martha's oeuvre in their contributions in the book. In an intimate interview, curator Sjors Bindels talks to Tirzo Martha about his position as an artist in the Netherlands and Curacao. This second monograph on the work of artist Tirzo Martha (Willemstad, Curacao 1965) offers a compelling compilation of his newest art works, mixed media performances and installations.
