‘I’m bored in the house, and I’m in the house bored.’ The lyrics to Tyga and Curtus Roach’s song pretty much describe everyone’s mood this past year. As goes for Isabelle Wenzel’s. Not because of loneliness, silence or boredom, but because of a persistent repetition of the daily hustle and bustle of a young family within the walls of an apartment. ‘This series of photographs arose from the need to find a moment for myself in all the noise. At any moment that lent itself to it, I made work.’

Work by Isabelle Wenzel was previously shown in the exhibition Naakt of bloot?. In the solo Bored in the House she shows more than 100 recent works, which were made in her apartment and are now exhibited for the first time as a series in the attic of Villa Constance.

In addition, Isabelle offers space to seven makers in various disciplines, who responded to an open call asking how they survived the lockdowns: Roos van Geffen, Noortje Haegens, Hanneke de Leeuw, Milou van Kessel, Agaat Nouwen, Gerry Raaijmakers and Meret Zimmermann.
