The room was reconstructed only a few years ago, based on detailed documentation. Among the records is a brief reference to a table once used in this space. Apart from its approximate dimensions, very little is known about it. <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c13dd6155dd09765831e14d180a0ecaf094ba176480b81368e297ab5b42d53d0/Tableforuncertainuse_distance07.JPG" data-mid="247736875" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c13dd6155dd09765831e14d180a0ecaf094ba176480b81368e297ab5b42d53d0/Tableforuncertainuse_distance07.JPG" /> Reintroducing a table felt like a natural extension of my practice, which moves between sculpture, furniture, and exhibition design. This opened a playground of possibilities: a reconstruction of a missing object; a re-enactment of a surface that once held testimonies and decisions; a reference to the museum’s contemporary displays; and a camouflaging act, absorbing the patterns, tones, and textures of its surroundings. I hope it thickens the mystery and sets your imagination in motion. <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000"

Resistance(2025) 110 x 145 x 50 cm Timber, paint shown at R Open, R Gallery We walk through doors all the time, as if that’s nothing special.I added some stairs — three up, three down — just to make things a bit less convenient. A mini act of resistance, perhaps. In times of turmoil, any acts of resistance can matter. A tiny kick against the smoothness of efficiency, the comfort of the generic. Think of it as design taking a deep breath, tripping slightly, and carrying on anyway. <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6864a13a2267fcbeae2377b637f0d387a79d20089d98f6b23706ccbd0e5236c3/RESISTANCE-01.jpg" data-mid="247666425" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6864a13a2267fcbeae2377b637f0d387a79d20089d98f6b23706ccbd0e5236c3/RESISTANCE-01.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1be3142430f509f3696a773f2730ccd540b3712fe8a2aab43d37fb9aa8cd1b93/RESISTANCE-02.jpg" data-mid="247666426" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1be3142430f509f3696a773f2730ccd540b3712fe8a2aab43d37fb9aa8cd1b93/RESISTANCE-02.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6b5241d15ccd54c833604b3a03cbc5a7ea96f6900722ad56374f132844fbf94/RESISTANCE-03.jpg" data-mid="247666427" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6b5241d15ccd54c833604b3a03cbc5a7ea96f6900722ad56374f132844fbf94/RESISTANCE-03.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e25f4d7b44ea8c9fd1af03e6501946909e7ea6383a2232a8bf29ddb8ae3a72a8/RESISTANCE-04.jpg" data-mid="247666428" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e25f4d7b44ea8c9fd1af03e6501946909e7ea6383a2232a8bf29ddb8ae3a72a8/RESISTANCE-04.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2adbaf772d4e77763cf88eb53712d504d31c04c5bdf436112874ffc7427cde04/RESISTANCE-05.jpg" data-mid="247666429" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2adbaf772d4e77763cf88eb53712d504d31c04c5bdf436112874ffc7427cde04/RESISTANCE-05.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/339daa9aa36042934c49f0cc4507cbd8d325d078c1204491af847306b9730205/RESISTANCE-06.jpg" data-mid="247666430" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/339daa9aa36042934c49f0cc4507cbd8d325d078c1204491af847306b9730205/RESISTANCE-06.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dddb360539b7b2164f5407029b8f78bca7c119fc4a89f203c0fb1fadcdcc34ab/RESISTANCE-07.jpg" data-mid="247666431" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dddb360539b7b2164f5407029b8f78bca7c119fc4a89f203c0fb1fadcdcc34ab/RESISTANCE-07.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5a545628d4d705def0843a999d7325bfe436b641b01af22ee148008f90e9259/RESISTANCE-08.jpg" data-mid="247666432" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a5a545628d4d705def0843a999d7325bfe436b641b01af22ee148008f90e9259/RESISTANCE-08.jpg" /> <img width="2160" height="3507" width_o="2160" height_o="3507" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2168f3761db1ea6317179b16601f6ff257d7f9ee6aad9ba0cbea22e26e1fe9b5/RESISTANCE-09.jpg" data-mid="247666433" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2168f3761db1ea6317179b16601f6ff257d7f9ee6aad9ba0cbea22e26e1fe9b5/RESISTANCE-09.jpg" /> photo credits: Laura Besançon &amp; Tom Van Malderen related works: so straight, these corners / Mirror Mirror / Extraction / Domestic Minotaurs / Houdini https://tomvanmalderen.com/Extraction Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:48:54 +0000 Tom Van Malderen https://tomvanmalderen.com/Extraction artwork Extraction(2025) Each: 200 x 2 x 2 cmEdition of 6 + 1AP Verde Alpi Marble, galvanised steel, paint shown at R Open, R Gallery Marble is ancient, organic, and irreducibly natural, predating us by hundreds of millions of years, yet we process it with industrial precision, cutting and forcing it into the logic of production. These thin sticks push that tension to its limit: material and manufacturer both taken to the edge of what is possible, forms that sit at the threshold of breaking. The blue accents are a nod to modernism's love of the coded and the clean, its appetite for what the design world calls sexy. But something else lingers here too: the tension between the violence of our mastery over nature, and the irresistible beauty that mastery keeps producing; an ambiguity at the heart of human making. <img width="1243" height="1600" width_o="1243" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f9be0c3dd8f5221c264d148bcd2b4c8b39ae1821d36b0ff9ae2ebafaf9941cbb/EXTRACTION-07_photo-credit-Julian-Vasallo.jpg" data-mid="247668039" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f9be0c3dd8f5221c264d148bcd2b4c8b39ae1821d36b0ff9ae2ebafaf9941cbb/EXTRACTION-07_photo-credit-Julian-Vasallo.jpg" /><img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2391f522375e601d60a4a0d8bdb0e660bc1ba323f84c272173d0e954def4cafa/EXTRACTION-04_photo-credit-Laura-Besancon.jpg" data-mid="247668036" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2391f522375e601d60a4a0d8bdb0e660bc1ba323f84c272173d0e954def4cafa/EXTRACTION-04_photo-credit-Laura-Besancon.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42f06d7829f48dc7346ef876ef906f473604bec63b0e9c0d9295cb957a63d791/EXTRACTION-01.jpg" data-mid="247668033" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42f06d7829f48dc7346ef876ef906f473604bec63b0e9c0d9295cb957a63d791/EXTRACTION-01.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33091a1a3ca1a34fa9b298463344313e2f255085673202a3a92aad0e55b1df08/EXTRACTION-06.jpg" data-mid="247668038" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/33091a1a3ca1a34fa9b298463344313e2f255085673202a3a92aad0e55b1df08/EXTRACTION-06.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/caf0acaf9a2487eb93f06787dfb4d900bf7acdef8ea3f717488134b46f742fe4/EXTRACTION-11.jpg" data-mid="247668043" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/caf0acaf9a2487eb93f06787dfb4d900bf7acdef8ea3f717488134b46f742fe4/EXTRACTION-11.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52fb23d153ea0af30b4164a93ad4c8a43a047648e3399990353144c683f5c113/EXTRACTION-10.jpg" data-mid="247668042" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52fb23d153ea0af30b4164a93ad4c8a43a047648e3399990353144c683f5c113/EXTRACTION-10.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b805c7482b4dd1bb0f1aa20b951d1b79a8e4c3b7e9ade9a7281e87bc652f4956/EXTRACTION-09.jpg" data-mid="247668041" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b805c7482b4dd1bb0f1aa20b951d1b79a8e4c3b7e9ade9a7281e87bc652f4956/EXTRACTION-09.jpg" /> <img width="1600" height="1346" width_o="1600" height_o="1346" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b63fcbaa46daf6fd9d64fe57caf06ad3ac619247d9a56a3206c326d55647f56/EXTRACTION-08_photo-credit-Julian-Vasallo.jpg" data-mid="247668040" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2b63fcbaa46daf6fd9d64fe57caf06ad3ac619247d9a56a3206c326d55647f56/EXTRACTION-08_photo-credit-Julian-Vasallo.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc58a98cb1c1831eaf4a54663de1293c9b592fd307511067e4524a288f548d42/EXTRACTION-05.jpg" data-mid="247668037" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fc58a98cb1c1831eaf4a54663de1293c9b592fd307511067e4524a288f548d42/EXTRACTION-05.jpg" /> <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d305e5afe83b57d9cf38e96424a6d01a2c9246792e56e4aa9f6690ef22946975/EXTRACTION-12.jpg" data-mid="247668044" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d305e5afe83b57d9cf38e96424a6d01a2c9246792e56e4aa9f6690ef22946975/EXTRACTION-12.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ba951099c13364d98884ee77943c013283744aa70298ecb1d9c73db2a7c24ba7/EXTRACTION-03_photo-credit-Laura-Besancon.jpg" data-mid="247668035" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ba951099c13364d98884ee77943c013283744aa70298ecb1d9c73db2a7c24ba7/EXTRACTION-03_photo-credit-Laura-Besancon.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="6000" width_o="4000" height_o="6000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf6ef1e4a5e1d1c4776f7f9c2f9a77e790cce9c201b1a574dea9ec3134c79e64/EXTRACTION-02.JPG" data-mid="247668034" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf6ef1e4a5e1d1c4776f7f9c2f9a77e790cce9c201b1a574dea9ec3134c79e64/EXTRACTION-02.JPG" /> photo credits: Laura Besançon, Julian Vassallo &amp;

Cittadella Bastions in Gozo, this temporary structure crafted from timber, serves as both a tiny public shelter and a starting point for reflecting on the presence of objects in everyday life. The work can be seen as the artist's personal interpretation of the contemporary polyester pop-up gazebo that seems to appear everywhere - taking over beach spots, occupying public squares for entertainment, and privatising streets for film productions.With their unmistakable shape, they have become a marker of our time and reflect how we claim shared spaces for private use. In a place as busy as this island, with limited physical space available, finding a balance between the ease of taking over public spaces and the need for shared spaces raises questions. What defines 'publicness,' and where do we draw boundaries?There's no denying the utility of these lightweight structures — they provide much-needed shade and shelter, especially in times of changing climate patterns. However, they also represent an unsustainable industry of mass-produced goods that colonise our public spaces, gradually becoming part of our contemporary vernacular. How do we reconcile these contradictions?Van Malderen makes a statement by replacing the gazebo's flexible polyester cover with a patchwork of timber, reminiscent of an older vernacular. He transposes the informal panelling of a timber shack onto our 'contemporary shack,' prompting consideration about the materials we surround ourselves with. By changing the gazebo's typically flexible and easily movable nature into a fixed and stable structure, he invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the speed of consumption. Reproducing the gazebo one-third smaller adds a humorous touch, reducing its practicality and limiting its use to children and young adolescents. The addition of a thin plinth, shaped like the shadow of the gazebo, serves as a reminder that objects often occupy more space than the objects themselves, and more than we acknowledge most of the time. Van Malderen uses this reproduction of a well-known object as a catalyst for contemplating form, material, meaning, culture, and politics. The act of remaking becomes a tool for transformation and questioning the original logic of the gazebo. It encourages us to ponder the use of space and materials as they shape our memory, identity, and perspectives. <img width="2268" height="4032" width_o="2268" height_o="4032"
