Presentations Cross Works
In July artists will give presentations about their work, reseaches and developments. We present you the first afternoons:
Sunday July 2nd, 15.00 hrs: Pieke Bergmans and Maurice Bogaert
At DordtYart, Pieke Bergmans preserves our nature in various ways. Different material studies and techniques are investigated and applied. Flowers and plants are processed with epoxy resin, poured in solicons, and sealed into 2D collages. Her workshop is slowly becoming a true rarities collection in which the time in nature is stopped and the colors are surprisingly maintained.
Maurice Bogaert has finished his Camera Obscura. In the work ‘Het Wezen van de Stad’ (also exhibit in the hall), the camera was the only thing that he didn’t produce himself. He took up the challenge and made a huge, rotating installation. The dark room is rambling on the chain and with its fish eye twisting our view on the light hall. Life-sized wooden copies of the steel structure fill this cinematic, absurd yet lifelike image.

Saturday July the 8th, 15.00 hrs: Stan Wannet en Martens & Visser
Stan Wannet works with two fellow artists Chen Rongxin from China and Anthony Akinbola from America. The three artists started their research in DordtYart and immediately bounced on a theme that forms the guiding principle in their research: communication. Through Google Translate, the artists discuss and confer their topics and ideas. Miscommunication and distortion arise. In the installation they make with various materials as a beast, a pan soup and fine mechanics, they show a translator who makes the translation of the bubbly oracle for you and interprets your future.
In the hall Martens and Visser investigate plastics for making new work. In their studio we see various studies regarding cutting in various materials as coated plastics. The Holons that rotate like lighthouses in the hall, also have been established in that way of working. By coupling motors to the cut-in shapes, this design duo knows how to surprise the visitor with enchantment, light and material as you have not experienced before.
