In the solo exhibition Hyper Rhizome Diana Scherer presents thirteen new works. Interweaving Scherer’s ongoing study of plant root systems, this exhibition presents a layered examination of how biological material can be transformed into sustainable textile. From a root-bound maxi dress to a knotted radicle tapestry, the exhibition explores the human-nature relationship and our compulsion to control our natural environment.

ABOUT DIANA SCHERER 

Diana Scherer is a visual artist living and working in Amsterdam.  She was born in Lauingen in Germany and studied fine art at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Her practice encompasses photography, material research, plant-root weaving and sculpture. Her works have been exhibited in several international solo and group shows. Recent examples include Earth Matters at the Textile Museum Tilburg (2017); the Tasis 2019 Art & Science exhibition at the National Museum of China in Beijing, Spring Tide at the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam (2017); and A Queen Within – Adorned Archetypes at the New Orleans Museum of Art (2018).

She received Rotterdam-based Het Nieuwe Instituut’s 2016 New Material Fellow for her work Interwoven.

Are you yourself online? Visual artist Pauline Perrin uses a series of selfportraits to answer that question. Through digitally enhanced photography, she shows how media blurs our notion of reality, yet gives space vulnerability. On view until 12th of January in our gallery @droog!

Waarom een debat over design?
Het label design wordt letterlijk overal opgeplakt. Het vakgebied waait alle kanten uit en beweegt misschien wel weg van de kunst. Wat is er aan de hand en waarom is design zo populair?

Deelnemers:
Jasper van Kuijk (cabaretier en columnist), Yuri Veerman (ontwerper en performer), Anja Groten (ontwerper Hackers en Designers), Caroline Nevejan (wetenschapper, Chief Science Officer Amsterdam), Nikki Gonnissen (directeur Thonik/president AGI), Jurgen Bey (directeur Sandberg Instituut), Richard van der Laken (ontwerper, directeur What Design Can Do), Hans Gubbels (directeur Cube Design Museum), Ruben Pater (designer), Mark van Iterson (Heineken Design), Tessa de Boer (Maison the Faux), Angelique Spaninks (MU), Marleen Stikker (Waag Society), Roosje Klap (designer), Geke van Dijk (STBY), Guus Beumer (Het Nieuwe Instituut), Ben Schouten (HvA), Dirk van Weelden (schrijver) e.a.

Moderator: Dagan Cohen (Social Inc, What Design Can Do Challenge)

Het debat wordt georganiseerd door Mieke Gerritzen. Zij is momenteel curator op uitnodiging van Droog in het kader van het ‘innovative laboratory’ programma. Meer informatie: [email protected]
