Looking with Jaap, at the art of Ada Duker
About this activity.
How do you look at art? Do you stand in front of a work for a long time? Or only briefly? Do you focus on details? Or do you focus primarily on the bigger picture?
For anyone who has ever wondered, "How can I look at art properly?", we are organizing our first evening, Looking with Jaap, on September 25th. Together with behavioral biologist Jaap van der Veen, you will look at art in a unique way, and you will discover that you can see and discover more in every work of art than you previously thought.
First edition, with Ada Duker
This first edition focuses on the work of Ada Duker, who is currently exhibiting her solo exhibition, Kom tevoorschijn ('Come Forth') at Kunstpunt. The paintings included are an expression of her fascinations, including Italian architecture and the pine trees of Rome; subjects she approaches from different perspectives. Ada herself will also be present this evening.
This is what the evening will look like
After an introduction by Jaap, you will work in pairs, using a viewing guide, to look at the art: curiously and attentively, with an open mind. Afterwards, you will discuss your viewing experience and what you observed. This will be followed by a conversation with the artist. Jaap will humorously guide the evening and ensure you leave with a wealth of new insights.
Interested in an enriching evening of viewing? Come and join us! Participation is free, and there's no need to register. We'll provide coffee and tea.
