Aslo in Z33 Philip Metten - INNERCOMA (27.06 to 10.10.2010)

This exhibition transformed the whole of Z33 into an enormous sculpture, without a doubt the biggest Hasselt has ever seen. Philip Metten (Genk, 1977) is the man behind this gigantic project. Z33 gave him the opportunity to create his first solo exhibition. Philip Metten proposed to transform Z33 into a huge work of art.
Philip Metten chooses to make sculptures because that medium contrasts greatly with the hastiness of our time. Sculptures are unwieldy and static constructions that do not square with the pressure of time, the speed and the evolution of our society. Philip Metten strives to be innovative in his imagery within the art of sculpturing. His sculptures create a link between primitive, religious art forms and contemporary archetypes. He elaborates these various elements further in the architectural sculpture INNERCOMA.

Bloedlijn

'Bloedlijn' (Bloodline)/ Premiere 19.12.09 Lumiere Maastricht
a film by theaterVRIJPLAATS & Collectief 5

Een speelfilm van theaterVRIJPLAATS en Collectief 05 op basis van verhalen uit de snel veranderende werkelijkheid in Limburg.

De zwangere boerenkleindochter Engel overziet drie generaties boerenerfgoed in haar familie. Zij ontdekt in het begin van haar leven wat haar moeder en haar grootvader pas op veel latere leeftijd beseffen:
dat de mens veel alleen zal zijn in een wereld waarin heel hard gewerkt moet worden en dat, alle goede bedoelingen ten spijt, eenzaamheid op de loer ligt.

Bloedlijn is het “staartje” van het Boerenerfgoed project en een inhoudelijk vervolg op het toneelstuk “Grashoek is weg” van Peter Stam en Joost Horward.

The Art of Fashion

'The Art of Fashion'

With this inspiring exhibition Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is exploring the boundaries of fashion.

I was familiar with most of the works presented in this exhibition, but it was a pleasure to see everything in this context and to discover artists new to me such as Nick Cave.

Modus Operandi by Matylda Krzykowski

I never really write about other people on my blog but some people are just worth mentioning.

This is Matylda Krzykowski, she just graduated as a product designer on the Academy of Fine Arts in Maastricht, but she is more, a good friend, she's always giving good energy and she is having an inspiring blog MATANDME. You should get to know her!

Here is a pictures of her graduation project ' Modus Operandi' .

I like her approach, the idea is very clear and pure, and it keeps you wonder what else you can do with a chair. Her work is light and with a sense of humor but most of all she does it with love.
