Marinus Boezem in conversation with Jan Hoet in De Vleeshal

Nearly ten years since last working with Marinus Boezem, De Vleeshal now presents a new project by the same artist. Entitled A volo d’uccello (A bird’s-eye view), it is divided into three parts: an edition, an exhibition in De Vleeshal and a multimedia installation. The three sections of the work include typical themes of Boezem’s such as flight and cathedrals, and blend the poetry of St Francis of Assisi with contemporary art.

Psychosculptures

vleeshal, 27 June - 12 September, 2010, curator: Lorenzo Benedetti

Photo(s): Leo van Kampen

Psychosculptures is an exhibition that explores a conceptual dynamic associated with attention to form and an aesthetic that reflects recent research in sculpture. The seven artists presented here use different artistic processes, but all see form as the outcome of a series of prior attitudes and dynamics – often invisible, inexplicable and absurd – which compel the viewer to move beyond the actual work. What lends the work added value is this very need to consider how far it has come in the course of its creation, and that this is what gives it validity. Seeing it as the end result of a wider process allows us to place it in a more complex space/time dimension.
