The Secret Life Objects
Studio TAMTAM Object art summer exhibition at Museum EICAS in Deventer
From May 11 to September 15, 2026.
The Secret Life Objects is an eclectic and adventurous journey through what came up during the 46-year theater career of Gérard Schiphorst and Marije van der Sande as autonomous work and as powerful images in performances. Found objects play the leading role in tender assemblages, unsettling images, graphic staging, and theatrical installations.
The entire basement of Museum EICAS is filled with this exhibition about how we, the makers of TAMTAM: Gérard Schiphorst and Marije van der Sande, give found objects a new dimension. Much new work and also many stage props transformed into artworks.
Museum EICAS is a museum originally dedicated to the Nul art or the Zero movement. In recent years, it has developed more broadly, with an orientation towards other art inspired by the NUL artists.
During the period of our exhibition, the ground floor of Eicas displays work by the last surviving Nul artist Jan Henderikse, who also works with found objects. Together, this guarantees a special exhibition!
