Rotganzen

Rotganzen

Rotganzen (2009) is a Dutch art collective in the tradition of American Pop Art and the Italian Radical Design movement. Rotganzen bridges art and design, and finds inspiration in daily life and popular culture. By changing the appearance and context of everyday objects and products, they create work full of contrast and surprise, visually as well as conceptually. Their intricate use of color and choice of materials stand in clear contrast with the simplicity of their design language.

Concept and Vision

Rotganzen aims to blur the lines between high art and everyday objects, infusing familiar items like disco balls with deeper emotional resonance. Their work is not only visually striking but also rich with cultural commentary, often reflecting on the passage of time, nostalgia, and societal change. Their intricate use of color and materials contrasts with the simplicity of their forms, creating a balance between conceptual depth and visual playfulness.

Exhibitions and Collections

Rotganzen's work has been displayed in prestigious museums and galleries across the globe, and their "Quelle Fête" series has become one of the most coveted among collectors. Key venues include:

• Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris
• National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne
• Powerhouse Museum, Sydney
• Museum JAN, Netherlands

The collective has also participated in major art events like Design Miami/Basel and collaborated with renowned designers, including Kelly Wearstler, for whom they created exclusive pieces.
