Cross Works starts
The doors of the Biesboschhal will open this Easter weekend for another season at DordtYart. Various workshops are realised in the new exhibition Cross Works. Artists will work in these studios with specialists and assistants for their studies and researches, and apply new techniques in their work. The first weeks the following artists will work in the hall:
Maurice Bogaert: works on projects where different media such as architecture, film, text and art come together into a total experience for the audience. At DordtYart his idea is work on a kaleidoscopic installation where the audience can lose themself. Maybe you know Bogaert from his work at DordtYart 2012 (link). Works together with: Sofie Doeland.
Pieke Bergmans: makes work about movement and what kind of shapes may arise from it. Her process often starts with a research into the characteristics and the already existing production of the material she will work with. Because of this research she exactly knows how to manipulate the material. Works together with: Wendeline Thole.
David Jablonowski: focuses on key questions about the nature of sculpture and its communicative potential, the power of communication. Jablonowski plays with different materials and exciting contrasts (like hi tech vs. natural elements). The way of combining and presenting brings you a surprising appearance. For DordtYart Jablonowski will make work that will bring the material to its limit. Large scale and unbridgeable distances will test the materials for its artistic manufacturability. Works together with: Sarah Pichlkostner.
Stan Wannet: his work focuses on the intermediary role, played by people - between animal and thing - as a driving force behind the lifeless world with emphasis on, and love for, all the absurd quirks that makes what he / she is. The animal and the animal in us have a prominent role in his work. Because of his intuitive way of working, the work is created during the making itself; every action is part of the artistic process. In DordtYart Wannet will work with an assistant and fellow artist on a new mechanical installation with as a starting point: a kingdom of things. Works together with: Chen Rongxin and Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola.
Michiel Martens and Jetske Visser (Martens & Visser) and Boris van Berkum with Tiwanee van der Horst will also work in the hall, but a little later in the season.

Folkert de Jong > upcoming April 2 at 19.15 pm, the documentary Het Zelfonderzoek (the self-research) of artist Folkert de Jong will be broadcasted at NPO 2 in the program Close-up. Last season, during GlassFever, Folkert de Jong travelled to Murano make his 8 glass heads. This installation was exhibit at DordtYart during the exhibition. In this documentary you see how Folkert reflects on the strength and limitations of (artists)exist through its own research, where transience is eventually more a strength than a weakness.
Julien Grossmann > you may know Julien Grossmann by his work Breakaway Songs (link) in the hall in 2015. This installation was made following a tradition from the US Navy. Currently, Julien has his first solo exhibition in TENT, where his sculptural sound works play a major role. An exhibition not to be missed!
