'A gust of wind gives voice to the trees' brings together the practices of Lee Chae, Maja Klaassens, Paul Beumer, and Willem Hussem through a shared sensitivity to nature understood not as image, but as force, process, and condition. The exhibition explores the tension between gesture and stillness, highlighting a shared aesthetic between East Asian minimalist traditions and European abstraction. Across the four practices, simplicity is not an end in itself, but a method through which material essence, duration, and presence are brought into focus. Within this framework, wind functions as an invisible agent, shaping form without appearing as motif.
This group exhibition is a collaboration between Namuso Gallery and Dürst Britt & Mayhew, curated by Jaring Dürst Britt and Alexander Mayhew. It runs from 7 February until 22 March 2026.
