What is the impact on the design profession? How can we be innovative, but also socially responsible to go along? The speakers provide insight into developments such as open source software and DIY hardware. Sharing knowledge and collaborating with other experts is inevitable.

As a youngster I became quite handy in the art of clipbook animation. Lot’s of girlfriends to be were surprised by my gift of little clipbooks I composed out of a combination of photo collages and drawings in which the impossible thought became true, they fell in love with me... Of course in the things I succeeded in my little clipbooks, real life was a lot bigger burden.<br /><br />In Nowadays life we have innumerable tools to create the impossible but still there is no other discipline which give so much pleasure as in simple movie animation. Okay, it hard work if you real want to use drawings and stop motion pictures, but even if you are as lazy as I am you still can have a lot of fun creating little booklets with easy simple line drawings.<br /><br />This exhibition in the Noord Brabants Museum called “De Fantasiefabriek” you get a realy nice impression of the state of the art of the Animation Movie Making in The Netherlands in the Noordbrabant Museum there is a focus on the contribution which is made by animation makers in Brabant. At the opening event in her welcoming speech, Lily Jacobs, Member of the Provincial Executive of Noord Brabant for Economic development and Sustainability introduced the AV-Broker, the new promoter of this industry in Noord Brabant. So I hope Freek van ‘t Ooster will put extra effort in the expansion of talent and quality results in the development and support of this fine submissive tool of transformation to make dream come true. In the high art of movie making all kind of computer animated tools strait out from the toolbox of animation movies helps them to make their filming become as close as possible to reality. Did you see Avatar? Do you play computer games… Life in the second reality is becoming dangerously close to the look and feel of our ordinary daily life reality isn’t it?<br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="center"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/q1sPLXMg1BQ&hl=nl_NL&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/q1sPLXMg1BQ&hl=nl_NL&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></div><div align="justify"><br />But the Art Animation Movie like to of William Kentridge and others still have an other powerful force because they are booby trapped in that twilight zone, not the to seek for real reality but to put a slice in between, not the genuine faked impossible, not genuine real reality but the tricky part in between. Real enough the start you doubting, but drawn in animation to set it apart form daily life.<br /><br />The Animated movie is everywhere and in abundance that we often accept the animated for real or are even disappointed if we discover that daily life didn’t yet adapt to the world of the animate world.

Stan Wannet succeeds in surprising you with his work again and again. He is surely becoming renown as the artist, who reanimate dead animals with modern techniques. In this art installation again he reanimates dead animals in his special way. Dogs this time! As closed pets to man, the encounter is maybe even more horrific. Inspired by the novel of the known Dutch writer W.F. Hermans: <em>"De God Denkbaar, Denkbaar De God"</em> Stan Wannet depicts the absurdistic and violent scenes from this novel and he translated them in this probably even more alienated kinesthetic art installation, in which he reanimates these dogs to 'life-action' heroes.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="center"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/92ynIL4zmk4&hl=nl_NL&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/92ynIL4zmk4&hl=nl_NL&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">The work of Stan Wannet is often quite confronting. Departing of the remains of hares, guinypigs and this time, dogs. Taking the skin and the structure of these animals and filling the reconstructions of their bodies with a lot of electro-technics and robot-technics. In doing so bringing them back to 'live' and let them performe remarkable and unexpected actions. His work does not ease your comfort zones, it goes more or less easely beyond them, presenting you quite an other picture as the images we normaly see about pets like dogs.</div><br /><div align="justify">In June 2008 Wannet had already attracted our attention, with his contrubutions at the Verbeke Foundation in Kemzeke (Belgium), where he spend six months as an artist in residence. He made a few eye catching contributions to the exhibition <em>"Vision in motion - Motion in vision"</em>. Remember the remarkable pair of hares, one writing mathematical formulas and the other working behind a type writer. They were quite intriguing as you can see.</div><p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwr_oLJVPZjNoGxURpIAe6vl4ODunq66UhFsoCPcrSQBNqOoactp4OPqB5V-eUp6038ktWPP-UfwcoAUHwhvA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><div align="justify">After he had concluded his study at the Art School in 's-Hertogenbosch, Stan Wannet did a degree at the Poly Technics in Eindhoven. Specializing in how to beter master the art of building technical devises and using electro-technics and computerised robot-technics in a more integrated but poetic manner in his art. So if your are in the neighborhood, don't hesitate to go and see his new art installation four yourself. Not in Eindhoven or in Kemzeke this time, but in Stan's own home town 's-Hertogenbosch, at the CBK.</div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>CBK 's-Hertogenbosch, Hekellaan 2, 5211 LX 's-Hertogenbosch.

So if you are sure that's nice weather, just go for a nice walk in the park! This summer <strong>Fundament Foundation</strong> has realized something catchy in the <strong>Oude Warande, Tilburg</strong>. They complemented the park with a <strong><em>new paviljon</em></strong> designed by <em>Callum Morton</em>. Is it an artwork of just a teahouse? A place where you can lumber in the shade or snap a white wine on the terras?</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">From the outside, it only casts reflections as it first appears. But this is only one of the surprises you find in the park this summer. To celebrate the realization of the pavilion, <em>Chris Driessen</em> has curated a exhibition around pavilion of <em>Callum Morton</em>. And as you can see in the following pictures I took, the theme of ‘casting reflections’ is quite close the subject of a lot of the sculptures. Some artists show quite other kind of work, but that’s for you yourself to explore.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I just like to zoom in a bit on the reflections partly casted by the works displayed. In a time of economic downfall, the pavilion of Callum Morton is in my views almost a paraphrase on the tall mirroring banking buildings, we more over see in the citycenters of our larger cities. Over here in the middle of this classic green park it is almost an antagonism, if you connects it’s appearance to that of those glass façade buildings we all know so well as the institutionalized image of power. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">But then entering in closer, the surprice will even be bigger… </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">It’s likely that it is a timemachine in the same time. Mirrors as a disguise. A stubborn bloc, you almost cannot see clear, because it is absorbed by its surroundings, mirroring everything back to you, and then it cloakes something completely different? Already curious enough, Go check and see it for yourself. (No, this next picture is the cabin at the entrance).</div><div align="justify"><div align="justify"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357200678530572258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLH_watWrz-izoeCop2DT8VqHFqGqTo3QTq9dJQgQ-RIvaRjC6M4uNPnnf5S12-0iU2JRAwlZKwyQVs1tv4tE2IiO6lsToa6y9-uuDS-Sezg5-mAEVKR9uw_xM0VuzDsNBRh0vFmwE_jA8/s400/Stardust+entree.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357200290984422130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy0_1E7LUJ8aepseydzlJqQrqIpwfJ0FjDaNJcsRZtakydNw_FZPXC8xsqQ5xMB6PyKqVGCncNW99oLExLhVd6usVsJ_UK7rr8PMXvxm0EB_lSgKZpRWVTA32NPcMxhSwNU885clCNQMXy/s400/Dan_Graham_2.jpg" />And still an other big contrast there is, with this little pavilion a bit further down the lane, where you find the weightless transparent glass building of Dan Graham.<br /><div align="justify"></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 290px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357199675355779042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdS10C0f9_697tbFEYR-sC9bR5HW1rovOVZFP-7977SmYK6smcaoGYKlLarTSB-hbdC_2hmcjSJcQyYnQpsjUPRBawg64yMrA2JE0o_4jzF6Byxo_AJylchT08lQ1gCCysjUNt9XvheHJL/s400/Dan_Graham_Fern-Lecture.jpg" />It’s only a few weeks passed, that I spoke with him, on the memorial lecture in homage to the Nordic architect he so admires, Sverre Fehn. On the 5th of June in Venice, Sverre Fehn was the celebrated designer, the architect of the Nordic pavilion in the Giardini Park. Also a quite extraordinary geometric structure, with a few trees enclose in the building.<br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357199329041718434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl6Lv0dszswLgtZv0dZDKZwzDpaR6emmIxDBNOYu4ddZs5KwnGZef9ShYvgqjtbRzozHiHes_dLkQpGm9iycEJ281npOCnNGbklZ2aUx-iAtzkQPtLncHjeVBw8IHiHnMf2-9vrVGwFHrx/s400/Dan_Graham_Seurat_no_Monet_2008.jpg" /> Something which associates quite easily with the contribution made here in the Warande, by <em>Ugo Rondinone</em>, Pagan Void. Rondinone made especially for the Stardust exhibition a new edition of this earlier work. Amongst a number of trees, he planted geometrically a rectangle of fluorescent yellow painted pebbles. A reference to the ‘sun’? Hm, now the sun reflects even brighter patches in the fluorescent yellow pebble bed.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357198848287471410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggKUHFkVi0fjPqsH0xqO7Dx3-HS5h5GA-EyolYqKI91gHV8XIvLvnh5QQS9oJAnNhICU2OauqHmRro8bxOUmyKk4lfPVv8pu1_y9Pr8AqFbZ6nle-M9MxkPafGFbE5GJQ7ADQqUtI6bQuo/s400/Ugo_Rondinone_Pagan-Void_2009.jpg" /> But still there are other nice things to explore. Statues that generate reflections or try to dissolve themselves in their surroundings. A mirroring surface is a miraculous thing, Jeff Koons already discovered. Small things like the makeover of a parkbench, a thing you easely miss... if you didn't saw the little glimmers in the back of the perforated bench. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357196397598517650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggGXZeJCt3E4a7q_u6gsS8khHQ606VTz1KkV57fb2w7svv9scNxWQHF6QBANoVi-s7AWvVQGE27zAwJsZun51lZOQ3RKn7IozP2r9ZnY_QUrb8RAlCJITHG403hnGit6UeA7PG25CJZSGF/s400/Hendrik_Jan_Hunneman_ibjv_2009.jpg" />In the Oude Warande we see small things to forget, like the makeover park bench by <em>Hendrik-Jan Hunneman</em>, or a mysterious boat floating in the pond, by <em>Maria Roosen</em> or the tree tall hide and seek statues of <em>José Pedro Croft</em> in which complete trees disvolves: "I'm not there!"<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357195558967766546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc_DwhrIu4gdTPzHbOUMbhz9SSzYLrQgkpEd4aA6AVwKhmcoqkRDRDQRdRjcz0f7C25LtUhsslb5VvBbnVh3UYO1HIllWxGnZaG018RBXLTCsjs4PdGTWyXdlckd6dHTksN_G3nC2GVqlH/s400/Maria_Roosen_Blackberry-Braamboot_2009.jpg" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357195025197149858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbCBqjjKq44wsjGK5P7RpiyHnTdZ1nPttMALyuHuzkzIVkttVLjPKsZhGm2-kqNMIgVpdeDXgQ7Z6eq6Y6pwFFmCdqUqeBLSyKwxveh0-89OQjAFwy-cdJzhaYRP0JaPA9LArX1jWG6HWM/s400/Jos%C3%A9_Pedro_Croft_ZT-2_2009.jpg" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div align="justify"><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357192339918136594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSgPdQIeNP7pam5ZQVamXLRt2N71HleCCpUMp9cBhPeRYuDr0mDag7oE8Sqaa8lIOBHWno63fRd2UhtIYeVwpwpLMtuXZ7nbnRe_XfCgaBTQK2LzBhKPmKu5xtfHSvXyosPlR65RiuPmDz/s400/Jos%C3%A9_Pedro_Croft_ZT_2009.jpg" />All kinds of reflections, to puzzle the mind, in the same time as when you are looking at these refreshing examples of contemporary art. Then I haven’t pointed out to you, that there are also a few fairytale figures on higher ground in the park, like Fox and Otter made by <em>Rona Pondick</em>.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357191776692758290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoshoyTZf3CFixO_BzvG7cjs_s5v80sHTPBvfcIZTFzZZ9jdl0ZHHS2mEatVffcpgSHyeW8FXYSawWnqAIv5pn-34RaRFYvzY9tPvQY2qE-d2HFeTA9QUT7f3iRpkBSjX9WawdmdiGV1g_/s320/Rona_Pondick_Otter_2005.jpg" />And there are still others to see. To start this puzzling walk in the park, you almost think instantly that everybody got lost, by calls of the sound sculpure made by <em>Job Koelewijn</em>. No, it’s not the fairytale park of the Efteling your in. That's a bit further down the road near Waalwijk, in Kaatsheuvel. No it’s all to see in De Oude Warande, close to the University Campus in Tilburg. And probably twice as nice. Go and see it for yourself, it is open until 27th of September 2009, but it's surely as nice to visit, during the summer when the sun shines and the temperature under the trees in the forest is cool but not cold.</div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#996633;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>letterpress:</em> 1.<em> Grotto</em>, Callum Morton; 2. <em>Entree-shop</em>; 3,4,5. <em>Seurat, no Monet</em>, Dan Graham; 6. <em>Pagan Void</em>, Ugo Rondinone; 7. <em>Ik ben je vergeten</em>, Hendrik-Jan Hunneman, 8. <em>Blackberry/Braamboot</em>, Maria Roosen; 9, 10. <em>zt</em> José Pedro Croft; 11, <em>Otter</em>, Rona Pondick.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Gust van Dijkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949423024935289346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738806742152988277.post-84659992735863386482009-06-21T06:03:00.000-07:002009-06-21T08:30:38.665-07:00Paleiskwartier 's Hertogenbosch: Stressed Spaces<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY3CglYHseY8_l8cDNcbJXNkP45eZgAfHLsiC94tLuHoNQyyE9Rd3rH4ylTezsRhXfb81R9IRBeYxnT6aBKSV6GDVKkgaBz2vprJzz4nlefeg8Je1spceb_R7iOMDUd99C0kdpbchpF4HK/s1600-h/Marjan+Teeuwen.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349779107936488482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY3CglYHseY8_l8cDNcbJXNkP45eZgAfHLsiC94tLuHoNQyyE9Rd3rH4ylTezsRhXfb81R9IRBeYxnT6aBKSV6GDVKkgaBz2vprJzz4nlefeg8Je1spceb_R7iOMDUd99C0kdpbchpF4HK/s400/Marjan+Teeuwen.jpg" /></a> In this last week’s running up to the summer, you find mostly all kind of events and contemporary art exhibitions in Brabant which are made site specific. This give them a little something extra, beyond the general exhibition shows in galleries and museums which also open their summer exhibitions around this time of the year. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 299px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349779267094763762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpL6xwY4Lx_GtcdZWeKkBz17Xw-H3XYEakkkpqscf1UD2ga8JMvP_xvZ-tC6CIvC2vjvrOSkoLb8GsotGsO48v11UcQf2btu4EisQ2a_HOSzf7AML5gVwMa5gj9AbrIc1UoNdZwrq02T6T/s400/IMG_0132+entree.jpg" />Sometimes they just give you that little nice surprise, where you hoped for entering an exhibition of contemporary art. Stressed Spaces opened earlier this month and just runs only until 19th of July. Stressed Spaces succeeds in giving you just this little extra, surprisingly well and this not only because the exhibition is organized in this somewhat strange location but surely also because of the vigor of the art which is on show here.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349778923428435666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKA1P77uUBHKb6rf_wXAxDs9Ub28EhC90MSmD5R7N6V2GmIcOUGz6Sd9VjbWlZZ3RBCpyaNmfOhrckYy982OZQzmzpIXkEwIyNYyFHSWNKpK6LuXPqhSEpvLQJ_WS32J4PfKOZhYndY6eW/s400/Yellow+Box+Stressed+Spaces.jpg" />I know that more often, car parks can be and are used for quite a lot of other activities, then putting your car out of site for a while. This spot is close to the local City Museum for Contemporary Art the SM’s, where you will find the entrance to this strange ‘yellow’ intruder on the -2 sub ground level of this car park in the Paleiskwartier.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349778650075883218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjfn4fdtI6ClYBmaj3wiVObFD7CSHXL3oxi_pzG1LoR59WX-wrTfY9nXoAvQFzC6LXn7DFHGUa2NaK_d8ryCa_owNP7NPLVWgLO-lvQ11YACBQK70c36NHLQ238cLwoz1-MsEYiVnrceJ2/s400/Ex+box+Krijn+de+Koning.jpg" />These yellow walls hides the temporarily building, which cuts through the centre of this low sub ground level and stresses out along for 175 meters. In this ‘yellow block’ the hibernation rooms are made to display a selection of the works of 25 artists. Each artist is placed in his or her own ‘cabin’ tailor-made for the occasion and fitted to the purpose of the specific visual art on display. This special ‘exhibition hall’ is designed by Krijn de Koning to give room to this year’s initiative of KW14, organized by Marjan Teeuwen.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 399px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349785456391855762" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIZl0LMfnLt_FbTIXZvVZOlO0I9SFjgSC03FhbKgz7YwLW0fvOi17P4jITwmB9ss7NJ_xuZwuhyBJ7pixdAZ_adZclXDOHDTehCI2Zya30LXX9d-vRKlVhxlgxXY3aX2T8wUJHndV99XM7/s400/IMG_0058+Char+Sch_groene+vrouw.jpg" />Marjan Teeuwen, artist herself, explores each two years the possibilities of staging a site specific exhibition in ‘s Hertogenbosch. Empowered by themes she engaged with in her own work she sets out to find a location that fits, the means and selects the artist to participate. This time she invited 25, more or less known contemporary artists, working in different visual disciplines as there are: painters, sculptors, mixed media artists, and video & animation artists.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 319px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349778143350589938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhYs-af_vi1p4MUt5pbkx1lkBM_v83zE2-xnygC6YZ4-bTbMQLO9ie1_Wu8vJ6l5oPP4NGwrueGykmFH2ptELbfaeZoWNkcPGqHsaSLn38fYe3bJTMWMxtBCvzTFy1CVQvscgsQRY1nbZZ/s400/IMG_0072+Eva+Flori+Kova.jpg" />Her this year’s motive to invite just these artists she explains, is that they make art for its own purpose. A motivation which needs to be addressed, because nowadays art more and more is seen as to be an instrument to serve other goals. Goals which conflict with arts its own solemn identity. Art in the use with a purpose to make it a tool or a means, to target something else. In a way of what she calls “the miss use of art”. The autonomous identity of art is endangered by this development so that’s why “Stressed Spaces” is a call to arms.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349777623546961746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1pU7aplMlzR-u_RImCVc5fFiqqxNE8iMHGYyCWI9xWsZqRZZWPMoTDHfgdmqAYcr51nqxyCp5F2lTkjFyi_mipCjEhTLlfom3jlg4hX98Kzs9ZHFYmmvC2GrGPIuoc5Ui1Cw_nOaGy8WY/s400/IMG_0076+Paul+de+Reus.jpg" />More and more, she sees this happening everywhere around her. Art in use to reach out to meet the other goals of policymakers. Other goals for sure, as what art itself had in mind and where artists itself thought art is mend to be for. For its own sake!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 209px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349777291924235058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEzo458SwVqZ-aBG46txGXbHJ8NszEV2if5OgUXcABMXY_KLweo8sgAci8NFOVx8tD9GLO0y1h7OU8nR28pECRUUfBAX1DFbwbUdn59_bDmnityCvlBKgkdGImQsiT2BCpcSOzt-6C1X9B/s400/IMG_0101+Aaron+van+Erp.jpg" />Again, to justify any money or any attention is given to art, nowadays all kind of instrumental powers are contributed to art. Art as an instrument to educate the public’s morality, to endorse social development, to bind social integration, to revitalize old housing districts. This all to underlines art has ‘other’ necessary qualities, which will advocate and motivate why we should use and/or can use art and put public money in it. By now, when policymakers can’t think of anything else to realize their goals, they call artists and art in for the quick fix. Any goal can easily be reached by the introduction of these miraculous powers of art. So we don’t see art anymore as the only left toy for the rich, but as a mechanism to produce wealth and social development, or simply as a tool to bridge nasty contradiction in architecture or anything that unexpectedly went wrong in the first place.<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div align="justify"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 294px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349776202152782242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQGd_f7z0CmtAL7GJA0inemoPJN2-QnCk3kSE6nJxN7lhEy4ZBao6Ddb4eUm40DnPnYmUbhXxvHXPyjD0OpVpqApvQqiHsUX9Y-NBa4sbJoeBkhlGOWqzQBc4vA-88nCOdKKL3z7KFXw6C/s400/IMG_0093+Saskia+Olde+Wolbers.jpg" />Marjan Teeuwen stages, as we artists and art lovers don’t pay attention to this threat, art might dissolve in this instrumental use of art, as we know of in applied arts like; design, architecture, media and fashion or any other applied social sciences which think the use of these qualities of art, might come in quite handy.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 296px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349775684909280098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3JHyYfzJWuz2-aHIvpMIUb4NVgra9bUPrH_xjbC0Z1MPnrOTrzvCqovwj6sUev1vipW-3u5fz2Worec0059oZl8R2xoWl49pA0qHouv4xcgZj8lgmaRZUiYGUXIv54XH6p56qqSWaoWgM/s400/IMG_0095+Saskia+Olde+Wolbers.jpg" />That’s why Stressed Space can be seen as a comment on this especially. Just enjoy… its art!<br /><br />In Stressed Spaces you can see, the photographs of stuffed spaces, by Marjan Teeuwen, the paintings of for example; Charlotte Schleiffert and Aaron van Erp. Statues of Paul de Reus, collage prints of Eva Fiori Kovacovsky and works of lots of other artists. One of the artists, who intrigued me the most with her work, is the video artist <strong>Saskia Olde Wolbers</strong>. Deadline (2007) is a slowly and silently, mirroring movie, with mind blowing images. Images where as the camera is hovering around slowly rotating objects in her studio, the voiceover of a woman, tells an as astonishing as puzzling story. A story of two brothers of which one is her father. The two brothers having ‘naturally’ the same father -her grandfather- but two different mothers. Still they are twins, born on the same moment. The story plays in a place fare away, in Gambia. Sometimes the words connect just like that, to the images in the video, what brings you in the flow of the story. The images in this movie let themselves compare to the narrative of the story, as ruins do, to the history of the past. The story is told as if it just happened, not being a strange fairytale. In this gentile voice and movement; the past, future and present are nicely stirred up. Imagination and fantasy are activated as logic and deduction in the same time. Fiction and non-fiction starts to unfold and connect lines that hooked up into your brain, questioning the truth about the story told, but also about your own experiences. And that is precisely where art itself is mend for, leaving you with a few more questions behind, as the few where you came in with.<br /><br /><div>Works on show are from: Maartje Korstanje, Charlotte Schleiffert, Voebe de Gruyter, Jasmijn Visser, Rob Voerman, Andrei Roiter, Karen Sagsyan, John Bock, Jasper de Beijer, Florette Dijkstra, Saskia Olde Wolbers, Robbie Cornelissen, Martha Colburn, Paul de Reus, Natasja Kensmil, Ina van Zyl, Rik Meijers, Manon Bovenkerk, Krijn de Koning, Rinke Nijburg, Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky, Aaron van Erp, Barend van Hoek, Jesper Just and Marjan Teeuwen. </div>Each with a room of their own in “Stressed Spaces”.<br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc9933;"></span></em></div><div align="justify"><em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc9933;">letterpress: (1) Marjan Teeuwen, (2,3,4)Krijn de Koning, (5) Charlotte Schleiffert, (6)Eva Fiore Kovacovsky, (7) Paul de Reus , (8) Aaron van Erp, (9,10) 2x still Saskia Olde Wolbers<br /></span></em><br /><strong>Stressed Spaces</strong><em>, Car Park Paleiskwartier 's-Hertogenbosch, still on show untill 19 July 2009. </em></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Gust van Dijkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949423024935289346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738806742152988277.post-41031693665652468222009-03-24T09:31:00.000-07:002009-06-16T03:24:07.518-07:00TEXTIELMUSEUM TILBURG: KNITTED WORLDSIn the ‘Audax Textiel Museum Tilburg’ is until June 14th, 2009, staged a modest but revealing exhibition on the state of the art of knitting: Knitted Worlds, A Call to Arms. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 372px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316815993775130834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJk2QazVPhP71g464QzKBwWKzLsrGHdA0m5x6HWFp6aiq2pAG_47HX3ejZHxoLkgFmVta_5nrrE3UFC8tJMQNK1rKPWY15k3ME7OdLSNP5fP9eT502AN5wlMj1DpWZJrdkuCdZvQlQMYs/s400/Breitafel_bewerkt-1.jpg" />This exhibition by Suzan Rüssler, curator of the same museum marks the threshold of a revaluation of this handicraft, which is in the last decades associated with a rather dull and old fashioned craft, only carried out as pastime by a few not the most fashioned old ladies. As if it had lost all its fashionable vigor what it had had earlier in the seventies of the bygone century.<br />Knitting had lost its appealing attraction and didn’t feed the imagination of artists or designers any more. Only in social fieldwork and certain feministic groups sometimes, knitting still played a role as a symbol of alliance and solidarity.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316816128324765250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAt5B6JSODvzAs7TxDJ54vPLFD9rtOPVZJ-XLZ1CfBsNbON_h03jYjaHLAHSWVeN9r5kr_uWl5e9Gluec1NjtIv5kumAYPzopwm3YPlk_qp7IDgNhahaDBkwBR8K57DRTttk-lX03APHIM/s400/Breitafel_2_bewerkt-1.jpg" />In this exhibition, not everything touches the right string, but it marks a shift. As a means of expression, linking in with its rich history and connotations, knitting has it all. It was only recent, when I was at the symposium The Curators in Witte De With (Rotterdam), where I helped out Ann Demeester, director of De Appel (Amsterdam), to cut the thread of her knitting-work, so she could change color and relaxed continue her needle-work while listening to the interview with Seth Siegelaub.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 385px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316815696831410018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ_oW06eijaI6Tye0tIy6t4Tr668y_oztF4o2BUs3fqHegqu6zU-grWCnG0oGyyph4sWi05GLZsWOj2LgzK1P3iCY0iJ-zpUNJYaDPRH8-DOKhx5R3ZwJtvMFFSdXAbFaRfhyeaxw0_Zm6/s400/Bivak_2_bewerkt-1.jpg" />So is it or isn’t it a women’s thing? Of course it has a rich history in the arts and crafts movement of the sixties and seventies, where it was eagerly used just because of its connected with social politics and feminism. But it still puts up artistic questions when mixed with actual topics like conservation and sustainability again, which are in the centre of our todays attention. Artists always have had a keen eye for these kind of lines, which like a ‘file rouge’ runs through time. It is a fact that there are even knitting interventions in urban public spaces, like fore instance in last year’s ZXZW festival in Tilburg. Knitting as an act of intervention! I am happily awaiting the New Gorilla Girls, who will pick-up this act of resistance to the bright and shiny male driven art world of the shiny naked steels of Jeff Koons and bling bling armored pieces by Damien Hirsts.

Tja, <strong>Reinhold Würth</strong>, herr professor, doctor Würth, volgt een bijzonder inspirerende weg naar succes en 'schrijft' daar ook boeken over! Bij elke vestiging van zijn bedrijf bouwt hij enkele museale presentatie zalen, om kunst te tonen uit zijn collectie. Ook in het weekend als het bedrijf zelf 'dicht' is. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Volgens mij heeft Reinhold het helemaal begrepen. Wil je als bedrijf laten zien dat je staat voor kwaliteit en als topbedrijf in deze tijd presenteren, dan kun je niet anders dan je lieëren aan kunst en cultuur. Dat heeft Reinhold al vroeg begrepen en succesvol toegepast. Kunst en cultuur behoren inmiddels al zo vanzelfsprekend bij de Firma Würth, dat het overal deuren opent en tot op het hoogste niveau entree geeft. <em>"Dat zouden meer mensen moeten doen!"</em> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Juist in deze tijd, blijkt het belang van de door Reinhold gevolgde strategie. Daar heeft hij Richard Florida niet voor hoeven te lezen. Zijn kunstcollectie heeft naast een grootse omvang een forse, massieve waarde. Krediet bij de bank is geen enkel probleem en in elke regio waar hij een vestiging wil openen, weet men inmiddels dat men er een 'kunsthal' bij krijgt. Dat is de kracht van Reinholds idee!<br /><br />"Dirk Scheringa in Spanbroek, Karlheinz Essl in KlosterNueburg, Reinhold Würth everywhere!"</div><div align="justify"><br /></div><div align="justify">Wij hier in Brabant profiteren dubbel. Zowel in Den Bosch als in Turnhout is een 'Kunstforum Würth'. Vanuit zijn grootse kunstcollectie, die het Zuid Duitse Künzelsau als thuisbasis heeft, worden tentoonstellingen samengesteld, die dan reizen langs de verschillende 'Kunstfora' door heel Europa. </div><div align="justify"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304911490674078706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 246px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9qCTyDzv__Rhs_7rikPI_4kcG8neuH5pL7HmjnTVat5VMmodGebn5AEajsVC2k4mnKIQ48NWFf3KOJihoMIszCcHkiwjF6LPsdZrRcWYzgULyEmyZzA45mPkSwSCkGS9SQrvQhAs_bJqz/s400/morellet+2007.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="justify">Kijk, dit is <strong>François Morellet,</strong> de Franse 'Eminence Grisse' in de 'concrete kunst'. Geboren in 1926 en nog steeds 'very a life and kicking'. Vanaf de begin jaren vijftig van de vorige eeuw werkt Morellet systematische en geometrische aan een groots oeuvre, abstract concrete kunst. Zijn werk is gebaseerd op een door hemzelf ontwikkelt vormgevingsprincipe waarin overlapping, fragmentering, ordening en interferentie aan de basis staan van zijn beeldtaal. Vanuit een constructivistische oorsprong, ontwikkelt hij zich naar wat wij 'opt-art' zijn gaan noemen en manifesteert Morellet zich vanaf de jaren zestig met G.R.AV. (Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel) waar hij één van de oprichters van is. Hij werkt in een steeds breder spectrum aan materialen. </p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304911216111279170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 137px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 145px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirey6YVB1bBmdLgJmG6AvCpSkorLr4GIJIWTZwKkvVByD224NT80H46zYI8Jwgcxz_N0Mor-as6fqJoa3oZeO6rVGZfyftygtoGuPxMXvIwDLkKAWpfYnw21spfcHZdVAOhXAV0xEZAMLH/s400/sphere.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="justify">Bijna iedereen heeft wel eens een van zijn 'Sphères-trames' gezien, bollen opgebouwd uit rasters van roestvrij staal. Maar goed die bollen zijn misschien visueel verrassend, de 'core' van zijn werk vinden we terug in zijn recente schilderijen 'Striptyques' en verrassende neon-assemblages als 'Lunatique Neonly' uit begin deze eeuw. <em>'Rede en Ironie'</em> is de titel van de tentoonstelling, die geheel in samenspraak met de oude meester is gekozen. Morellet brengt rede en ironie met een speels professionalisme samen. Doorwerken boven je 65-ste? Juist dan dit even gaan zien! </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304914055871083026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 367px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-1NEGShgTuruIoLhrX72EY72DL4njtgGEHrEnvXhV0dgUyyp7EgM_8rygQeThOXdogJUhBpl-Se9QKQ0GL-F0-AXymEBdLzlpZug3gX7prhfCbFezAT8tKVvVCpzWcxyzbErQeuiV4pn/s400/neo+bogen.bmp" border="0" /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc9933;"><em>fotobijschriften: No. 1 Striptyque nr 1, 2005 (300cm x300cm).

Nog enkele dagen tot 11 januari kunnen we het werk zien van Han Schuil (1958, Voorschoten) met name een 'schilderij', alkalyt op aluminium, zonder titel, dat is geschilderd in drie groene en een licht gele vlak, die als kwadranten het vlak verdelen. Dit werk is eind 2006 verworven door het museum en vormt als zodanig de aanleiding voor de tentoonstelling 'Crashed and Gobsmacked'. Schuil noemt zich zelf een figuratie schilder maar de figuratie in zijn werk is meer en meer geabstraheerd tot beelden met een krachtige signaal werking als tekens, iconen van moderniteit.</div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288302379244749154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 328px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiA5QPuFg1Wh_gn8flrnoQi2qKjd3_Vdq6bIJqHvlBuUpn5IKxflXAiR-cOVdN7r4GNxaD_8jdKiiA3RH4icfPWIUwCdNUM6NbSdfZOHvNDhEDkASBqHlwXZ8kJf4JzAQCZDG2soKBptww/s400/Ronald-Ophuis-IMG_0198.gif" border="0" />De tweede kunstenaar is Ronald Ophuis (1968, woont en werkt in Amsterdam) met zijn zeer groot formaat schilderijen met confronterende onderwerpkeuze. Obsure voorstellingen die de donkere aspecten van onze samenleving uitbeelden; pijn, lijden, geweld, executie, verkrachting. Genoemd wordt dat Ophuis 'het kwaad' een gezicht wil geven?<br />Beide kunstenaars zeggen over hun werk, dat ze 'impact' proberen na te streven. Ik zou zeggen beoordeel zelf het werk van deze twee geheel verschilend werkende kunstenaars, reis eens af naar Oss en onderzoek wie de hardste of heftigste indruk op je maakt.<br /><br /><span style="color:#996633;"><em>fotobijschrift: foto 1 Zonder titel 2000, Han Schuil, foto 2 Birkenau II 2003 Ronald Ophuis</em></span></div>Gust van Dijkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949423024935289346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738806742152988277.post-27486499722532004572008-12-19T09:02:00.000-08:002009-02-24T03:09:30.693-08:00Een Kwestie van Mooi of ...?<div align="justify">Getriggerd door de reclame van het <em>Natuurmuseum Brabant in Tilburg</em>.<br />Daar is de tentoonstelling te zien: <strong>“Wat heet mooi?”</strong> die daar nog te zien is tot 13 september 2009. Tijd genoeg zou je zeggen, maar toevallig had ik de kans om daar deze week even naar binnen te lopen.<br /></div><p align="justify"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281551476752839314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRBei2qxtLTknfLpuU9hThr3SHvMwM6ucVvglbfOjRiPBEbpL06YEWPkL3Y9UFdVmtGK4SwiAmOI4pjF1CHVOyrNaoLFONkmW8CmWaMPCcGh0SHUD5_oMKQTxxqn3wtx_TfOqKdgics_rA/s320/Wat+is+Mooi.jpg" border="0" />Het idee om vanuit dit museum een bijdrage te willen leveren aan deze discussie vind ik aller aardigst. Immers het adagium 'Artis magister natura est': de natuur is de leermeesteres van de kunst, waart hier rond. De tentoonstelling wil aanzetten tot nadenken over de relatie tussen natuur, kunst en evolutie. Acht kunstenaars en flink wat bizarre dieren helpen daarbij. De museumdirecteur <em>Frans Ellenbroek</em> leidt je in video commentaren 'persoonlijk' rond door <strong>“WAT HEET MOOI?”</strong></p><p align="justify">De vraag wordt opgeroepen: “Is kunst wel ergens goed voor?”Met de evolutie van menselijk kunstgedrag als rode draad kom je langs de thema's van de tentoonstelling. Is kunst gewoon pronkzucht? Kunnen dieren elkaar ook mooi vinden? Hoe kijkt een kunstenaar? Moet kunst vernieuwend zijn? Is kunst misschien een bron van troost of ontspanning, een goed middel tegen tobben en piekeren? 'Kunst van Nu' van acht verschillende kunstenaars is werk tentoongesteld (<em>Koen Delaere, Guido Geelen, Danielle van Broekhoven, Haitske Teunissen, Dorien Plaat, Nan Groot Antink, Sjef Voets en Emily Hermans</em>). Verder zijn interviews met hen te zien, over de thema's in de tentoonstelling, gemaakt door leerlingen van het St.-Odulphuslyceum uit Tilburg.<br />Gaande weg wordt je bijgespijkerd over een aantal aspecten, die ingaan op menselijke eigenschappen en specifiek menselijke mogelijkheden (door ons grote brein) en onze zintuiglijkheid, onze taal, onze speelsheid. Zo wordt vlotjes een bijdrage geleverd aan de grondslag die ons laat differentiëren tussen mooi of niet mooi.<br />Goed, het is een beetje een troosteloze opstelling, krapjes, grijs en tja, alles moest er in. Ook de formule van de zichzelf verklarende tentoonstelling met ‘auto-uitleg’ roept jeukaanvallen bij mij op, maar het onderwerp is prikkelend en de kleine interviews met die acht kunstenaars op hun ateliers, uitgevoerd door middelbare scholieren zijn zo ontwapenend. Bijvoorbeeld Guido Geelen, Emily Hermans, Danielle van Broekhoven of Nan Groot Antink. Super educatief maar gewoon wel even doen. Gelukkig moedigt Frans Ellenbroek zijn bezoekers aan, om vervolgens ook nog even de gang naar het De Pontmuseum te maken, waar de kunst natuurlijk echt tot haar recht komt op de manier zoals het daar gepresenteerd wordt. </p>Gust van Dijkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949423024935289346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738806742152988277.post-89548261113453176512008-12-08T05:52:00.000-08:002008-12-10T09:08:09.109-08:00TILBURG, DE PONTMUSEUM<div align="center"> Wanneer heeft u voor het laatst een familieportret gemaakt of laten maken?</div><div align="center">En hoe staat u er op, zo samen?</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277417500775233362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 296px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9sHY8M1SkP6RPtAOL3gWFqqydOUS0yXG-MnbQLZ6_ykqy8BEHhjvBbTKEKheDFuEvJ8RScjrRJrFIVTzBhKaYYOXfOL9EPs3TMLYiPNitoXeFpK_ihk7GBTYP_H4tB968OMt8TtDrxpn/s400/IMG_0084_Bernstein+1990+bewerkt-1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">Thomas Struth, Familienleben.

In Brabant ligt een bijzondere kunst- en culturele infrastructuur: Musea, theaters, kunstruimtes, concert-podia en nog veel meer andere bijzondere plekken, die wij gaan ontdekken.
