Abstract
Teylers Museum is the first and oldest museum in the Netherlands. It is built next to the house of Pieter Teylers.
This unique, 18th-century former house of the founder of Teylers Museum has been thoroughly restored since 2013.
Commissioned by the museum Johan Nieuwenhuize was the first ‘artist in residence’ to portray the last two years of the restoration. The purpose of this project was twofold. First of all, it was an art assignment: Nieuwenhuize was given free rein to take his own photos in the house in order to create a book about the house. He also made documentary photos to record the progress of the restoration.
This resulted in a large series of reportage photos and a database with detail images that show historical layers and temporary elements in the house.
The database with detail images forms the starting point for an extensive artist book that was designed in collaboration with data scientist Robin van Emden and designer Welmer Keesmaat.
The public ranked these photos as “emotional” or “rational” through an online image survey. This question was related to the transitional period between the rationalism of the Enlightenment and the emotion of Romanticism: the birthplace of Teylers Museum. source: www.johannieuwenhuize.nl
