Ondertussen: Ingrid Mol, Pepijn van den Nieuwendijk and Tejo Philips
May 23 thru July 5, 2009
Location: Hogewal 1-9
The former reception area of Stroom has been converted into a small
exhibition space. On a regular basis there are presentations of artists
who have received a subsidy in the categories Stroom PRO- and
SPOT-grants. The informal exhibitions and presentations are intended to
illustrate the diversity of the Stroom grant system. The program in the
space is called Ondertussen (Meanwhile).
The FuLe International Ceramic Art Museum (Flicam) in Fuping (China)
was founded in 2004. Ever since, the museum ialso features a number of
pavilions showing ceramic art from several countries. At the moment the
following pavilions have been realized: France, Scandinavia, Australia,
USA, Canada,
the Netherlands, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Belgium. Artists
from these countries are invited by Flicam to create new work in their
very well equipped ceramics factory next to the museum. The works are
shown in the pavilion of the country in question. In 2008 eight artists
from The Netherlands were invited to work in China. Three of them are
artists from The Hague.
Ingrid Mol created the work ‘The night after
the leader visits the artist'. An installation in a theatrical setting,
showing an artist at work in his studio, surrounded by unfinished
sculptures.
Pepijn van den Nieuwendijk created the work ‘The mouse wakes up
[Lao Shu]'. It shows a huge mouse on a bed surrounded by pillows. The
setting has a fairytale like atmosphere, but something might be brewing.
Tejo Philips created a relief on a wall showing a comical
fantasy figure in a dance pose. The work was made in celadon, a famous
brand of Chinese ceramics with green-blue glazing.
For their work period at Flicam the artists received a SPOT-exhibition grant.
The other participants from Holland were: Hans van Bentem, Remco Pothuma, Adriaan Rees, Anton Reijnders en Nick Renshaw.
