Magali Reus is now represented by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery
Reus’ recent works have a deepened interest in ecology and systems of production, considering the tensions between constructed nature, high technology and the impact of post-industrial human activity.



NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery announced representation of Magali Reus in the United States. Reus’ sculptural practice addresses existing common objects and systems. Physical transformation and display – typically of vessels or receivers of useful action – set the stage for objects to shed their function and enact a different image of themselves.

Reus applies a sensuous material intelligence and precise compositional grammar to coax relationships between the characteristics of objects and their systems of meaning and circulation. Combining industrial and craft materials and processes to subvert standardized fabrication chronologies and practices, her work is charismatic and evasive, at once oblique and effusive, advancing a compelling open-ended symbolism and visual language. Elements are reproduced, layered and repeated in works that are individually crafted using casting, moulding, CNC milling and metalwork techniques, pitting the slick emptiness of manufacture against the slow affective labour of handiwork.

Reus’ recent works have a deepened interest in ecology and systems of production, considering the tensions between constructed nature, high technology and the impact of post-industrial human activity.

Multiplication and reiteration occur repeatedly in Reus’ works, both in the sense of sculptural and photographic seriality but also as repetitive details employed to create a visual rhythm. Typefaces, artists’ books and curated exhibitions form an expanded repertoire of objects connected to a larger and more purposeful system or logic. This might be bound up with an attitude of determined disobedience, while confronting ideas of comic exaggeration or appropriation.

Magali Reus (b.1981, Den Haag, Netherlands), lives and works in London, UK. Forthcoming solo exhibitions of Reus’ work will be held at the Kunstmuseum, Den Haag, Netherlands in 2025; the Museum Beelden Aan Zee, Den Haag, Netherlands in 2026; and the CAPC Bordeaux, France in 2027.
