The centrepiece of the exhibition \u003cem\u003eMichael Tedja: Hypersubjective\u003c/em\u003e is an overwhelming installation consisting of one hundred and thirty-four large drawings. In this installation, Tedja investigates the potential of his\u003cem\u003e \u003c/em\u003eown visual language on paper. The series of drawings can be compared to chapters of a book. In each chapter, Tedja chooses a new starting point and imposes certain limitations, thereby repeatedly compelling a search for new solutions within each new series. The result is a highly varied visual language. Abstract, figurative, minimalist or instead extremely colourful and richly chequered series of drawings alternate with each other. Previous works by Tedja have also featured this vivid alternation between abstract and figurative visual language.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe original, hand-written manuscript of \u003cem\u003eBriljante Man \u003c/em\u003ewas displayed as part of the exhibition.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://centraalmuseum.nl/en/visit/exhibitions/michael-tedja/\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":3348,"name":"Michael Tedja","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
