The things mankind is capable of: endless procreating and killing, creating and fireraising, embracing and strangling, hating and loving. We are proficient in all of these. This is who we are. Raquel Maulwurf examines the dark side of human nature and shows us the havoc we wreak. She records our failings and depicts the doom that we call down upon ourselves. We look into the dark charcoal mirror that she holds in front of us.? Cherry Duyns, writer, theatre- and filmmaker Over the past decade, Spanish/Dutch artist Raquel Maulwurf (Madrid, 1975) has gained a unique position with her drawings depicting the untameable forces of nature as well as human shortcomings. Maulwurf is fascinated by humankind?s relentless urge for destruction that results in the devastation of his own habitat by war and ecocide. By working with a very large format and creating wall drawings that cover several walls, she previously captured the feeling of ?walking into a drawing?. This third dimension was also added literally from the moment she began scratching the museum board she uses for her drawings with a box cutter. This publication is issued on the occasion of her solo exhibition at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag for which she developed the installation The Carbon War Room. It arose from the desire to physically create the depth that is evoked in her charcoal drawings. This extraordinary book comprehends images of the works from the exhibition and a wide selection from Maulwurf?s rich oeuvre of the past ten years. Photos of her studios and magnificent close-ups of the special scratching technique which Maulwurf applies in her work, give a good impression of her creative process. With text contributions by Benno Tempel, director of the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and Jeroen Dijkstra of Livingstone Gallery and quotes from renowned art professionals and critics like Cherry Duyns and Hans den Hartog Jager

De Spaans-Nederlandse kunstenaar Raquel Maulwurf (1975) heeft het afgelopen decennium een eigen positie verworven met tekeningen die tegelijk de ontzaglijke kracht van de natuur en het menselijke falen verbeelden. Maulwurf is gefascineerd door de onontkoombare vernietigingszucht van de mensheid: het verwoesten van de eigen leefomgeving door oorlog en ecocide. Door het werken op zeer groot formaat en door muurtekeningen over meerdere wanden te maken, creeert zij het gevoel haar tekeningen in te kunnen lopen. Die derde dimensie werd letterlijk toegevoegd in haar tekeningen vanaf het moment dat zij het museumkarton waarop zij werkt, ging openkrassen met een stanleymes. Dit bijzondere boek bevat afbeeldingen van de werken uit Maulwurfs solotentoonstelling in het Gemeentemuseum Den Haag en een ruime keuze uit haar rijke oeuvre van de laatste tien jaar. Foto's van haar ateliers en prachtige close-ups van haar buitengewone krastechniek geven een goed beeld van het creatieve proces van de kunstenaar. De expo in Den Haag, waarvoor zij speciaal de installatie The Carbon War Room ontwikkelde, loopt van 18 maart tot 18 juni 2017. Met tekstbijdragen van Benno Tempel, directeur van het Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, en Jeroen Dijkstra van Livingstone Gallery, en met citaten van vooraanstaande kunstprofessionals en critici zoals Cherry Duyns en Hans den Hartog Jager. The Spanish-Dutch artist Raquel Maulwurf (1975) has acquired his own position over the past decade with drawings that simultaneously depict the immense power of nature and human failure. Maulwurf is fascinated by humanity's inescapable thirst for destruction: the destruction of one's own living environment through war and ecocide. By working on a very large format and by making wall drawings over several walls, she creates the feeling of being able to walk into her drawings. That third dimension was literally added to her drawings from the moment she started scratching open the museum cardboard on which she works with a box cutter. This special book contains images of the works from Maulwurf's solo exhibition in the Gemeentemuseum The Hague and a wide selection from her rich oeuvre of the last ten years. Photos of her studios and beautiful close-ups of her extraordinary scratching technique give a good idea of ??the artist's creative process.
