Summer exhibition 'Stof tot nadenken'
About this activity.
This summer De Kerk Vierhuizen is organizing an exhibition with ceramics, paper and wood carvings. This exhibition is the result of a collaboration with gallery de Smederij and the Kultuurloket. Saskia van Nijen, member of the local committee: "With this exhibition, the church in Vierhuizen will once again be the stage for contemporary art for two months this summer. Contemporary art with a current story, incorporated in the church with its centuries-old history. A surprising cross-pollination that has already proven its success in the past."
This exhibition, entitled Stof tot nadenken ('Food for thought'), shows the work of three artists:
Brigit van der Werff
With the Stories Connect project, Brigit collects fabrics from all over the world. Every fabric carries a story. From the maker, the place, the buyer, the giver. The fabrics are combined into a shirt, designed by Brigit and made in Nepal. In this way Brigit connects the stories and thus the whole world.
Dineke Oosting
Everyday reality is Dineke's source of inspiration. Her studio is overflowing with all kinds of 'discarded' materials that she 'maybe' could still use. She can't live without them, because they are the building blocks of her work. And see what the material, although discarded, is capable of. It speaks to you without words. a shoe is not just a shoe in her work, together with a piece of baked clay, a CD rack and the other materials, an object of significance is created. Dineke tries to present ordinary things in an unfamiliar or strange way to improve the perception of the known.
Jos Boerjan - ceramics
Clay is easy to mold into anything. Jos has been working with clay for years and is fascinated by the origin of the material. For Jos, clay is the direct link to his roots, the polders of Dutch Flanders. Jos has been collecting clay from the Netherlands and abroad for years, he tests the clay, makes clay sludge and glaze. Last year, Jos built a colorful installation of versteende plekken ('petrified places') with 'kneadings' on the mound of Vierhuizen, in which all the collected clay has been incorporated. He will continue to build on this this year.
