Navid Nuur’s, BROKEN CIRCLE, 2011, will be included in the group show Into the LIGHT, an exhibition which explores the experiential possibilities of light by bringing together medieval and contemporary works, from ancient reliquaries and icons to light installations and projections. Nuur’s sculptural installation, a broken circle glowing with neon orange light, encourages a physical experience while prompting comparisons to haloes or orbs.

From 7 September 2024, the Oude Kerk will present When Doubt Turns into Destiny, a large-scale, context-specific exhibition by Navid Nuur. Inviting the viewer into a sensory experience, Nuur peels back the history of the more than seven-hundred-year-old church to focus on the here and now. In a process that combines art and alchemy, Nuur seeks to create meaning and speculates about humanity’s place in the world. His work focuses on the transformation processes of materials under the influence of light, darkness, warmth, or cold, making unnoticed immaterial phenomena – such as the effect of light, the flow of energy, or the perception of space – visible. In the Sebastians Chapel, a series of vases made from Amsterdam clay will steadily grow, created by the artist over the course of the exhibition. As exemplified by the title, Nuur reflects on doubt and uncertainty as a driving force for change.
