Front Door Cabinet (2026)

short description:

Front Door Cabinet consists of an assemblage of forms and fragments derived from front doors. The front door functions here as a universal symbol: each door is different, yet always serves as the entrance to a personal world. Behind every front door lies a different story, a different context, a different need.

Within the cabinet, various instruments and tools are incorporated that the Municipality of Assen uses to tailor communication and participation to specific target groups.
