ColorEyes – Tomm Velthuis (2022)
Temporary art in public spaces
During the 32nd edition of Noorderzon (18-28 August 2022), a large blue container is set up next to eatery Zondag in the Noorderplantsoen. Those who enter it immerse themselves in the colorful installation ColorEyes by Tomm Velthuis (1986). For 5.5 minutes, contrasting color surfaces placed against each other under the influence of a beamer form a constantly changing tapestry in which you as a visitor are as it were drawn in.
ColorEyes originated from the talent development program ‘Noorderzon ART’ of Kunstpunt Groningen in collaboration with Noorderzon. Kunstpunt has a long tradition of artworks by Groningen artists at the Noorderzon Festival. With the assignments Kunstpunt wants to offer promising artists a stage to present themselves to a large audience. In 2022 that will be Tomm Velthuis.
