Group exhibition at Arti et Amicitae in which sculptural works of six artists form an amalgam. Trough the connection between object, matter and human, we approach the exhibition space from a scenographic perspective, where work is used as a catalyst for transformation and interaction between the work itself and the spectator.

with Fleur de Roeck, Leyla Aydoslu, Wessel Verrijt, Ian Skirvin and Irene de Boer.

About


Jesse Strikwerda (1991) creates installations and sculptures in which the manipulability of reality is central. Unraveling the layers of a constructed reality is the starting point for an investigation into the framework of an image. Constructions get pushed over, raised up, hidden and shown to an audience. Backdrops are hung in front of each other, as a concealment of the underlying structure, and then lifted again by the artist to provide the same structure with a stage. Elements from reality (building materials, party items, found objects) are interspersed with images (drawings, comic-like elements and clay objects), creating an exciting game in which it becomes painfully clear in a playful way that everything can be made and dismantled.
