Spring is just around the corner and it can’t come soon enough! Spring fever comes with the necessary butterflies in the stomach. Be prepared to make your garden spring proof with the Shadylace parasol. The airy parasol by Chris Kabel allows just a little sun to shine through, creating a dappled shade. It comes complete with a golden or silver bird perched on top. The Shadylace is now available for pre-order in three colours.
Wednesday March 3d, live at 5.
Artist duo Erwin Driessens and Maria Verstappen have been working together since 1990, developing a versatile body of work consisting of objects, machines and software.
In 2002, they created the Tickle Salon: a hanging robot designed to gently stroke your skin with undivided attention. In the current pandemic, the Tickle Salon takes on new significance: when touching is discouraged, the robot takes over.
Maria Verstappen will join in a conversation with Christine de Baan, writer, editor and advisor in the field of art and design.
Wednesday the 24th of February, live at 5.
Swedish artist Charlotta Östlund lives and works in Helsinki, Finland. Charlotta’s sculptures make us aware of the ephemerality of nature but simultaneously show its power. Due to her use of natural materials, Charlotta’s works are rarely constant, but instead undergo small changes through time.
She will join in a conversation with Danish born, Netherlands based philospher and writer Stine Jensen.
This week we’re joined by multidisciplinary artist Sethembile Msezane (1991), who lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa. Using an interdisciplinary practice of performance, photography, film, sculpture and drawing, Sethembile creates commanding works heavy with spiritual and political symbolism.
She had a conversation with Ama van Dantzig, researcher and creative thinker based in Ghana and The Netherlands, and co-Founder of Dr. Monk.
This week 10 February, Sophie Ruigrok joined the conversation. Sophie is an artist and writer based in London. Her pastel drawings are about the relationship between people and the nature that surrounds us. We are used to looking at the world around us from the human scale, but what happens if we turn this around? In the talk she will tell us all about her work and inspirations.
Watch the talk here.
Every Wednesday at 17h – Live on Zoom, we host an Artist Talk from the exhibition. Watch past sessions here.
Live on Zoom, we host another Artist Talk. Next up: Ama van Dantzig will have a conversation with painter Emma Prempeh about her work, inspirations and the exhibition Onward&Upward.
Emma Prempeh (UK, 1996) made the work Ardour at a time when she was dealing with the loss of a loved one. It helped her come back to life and cope with a deep sense of loneliness. It captures an intimate, everyday setting, where two people hunker down together blissfully in a room. The painting appears to capture a moment frozen in time, but on closer inspection, time seems to be advancing.
This week the conversation is hosted by Ama van Dantzig, researcher and creative thinker based in Ghana and The Netherlands, and co-Founder of Dr.Monk.
Every Wednesday at 5pm for the upcoming weeks, we host an inspiring conversation with one of the artists through Zoom.
This Wednesday, we will be hosting another artist talk from the exhibition ONWARD&UPWARD. This week with photographer Dora Lionstone. Dora believes in the power of daydreaming: letting go of fixed ideas and imagining what else could be. “We should all make space for daydreaming.”
