OCEANUS. A new ritual 2019 - 2021
Rituals resemble stones; they are imperturbable, unalterable and self- contained. Rituals are the exact opposite of human indefiniteness. Rituals release the participants from their daily questions and insecurities. Rituals can tame emotions without suppressing them. Rituals clasp the individual in the firm grip of the group. Rituals communicate that which nobody is able to express or understand. Rituals assuage the desire for meaning through their perfect form. Rituals give the person something to hold on to as compensation for his/her lack of ‘completeness’.
– Walter Weyns
Oceanus was an object-based performance made entirely from ceramics, developed by Erin and Gosia during a three-month residency at the European Ceramic Work Centre in Oisterwijk.
In this interactive performance, the audience was invited to connect with the phenomenon of water. Water is often taken for granted, yet the water scarcity in the Netherlands in the hot summer of 2018 served as a poignant reminder of its preciousness. With climate change, many people around the world now face uncertainty about clean drinking water.
Looking to create a ritual to show our reverence and gratitude towards water, Oceanus guided the audience past three ceramic altars: two ceramic hands, representing water as a scarcity; a ceramic boat symbolising water's role in connecting people and goods; and a bathtub, representing water in abundance.
As the audience moved from altar to altar, they held small ceramic objects in their hands, such as droplets, noses and ears, and became part of the work. During the procession, dancers performed rituals to guide the participants through a meditative experience deeply appreciative of the water in our lives.
The Art Corso unites all forms of art and grows into a unique spectacle. The Art Corso is a footstep-driven parade with over 16 floats that brings art to the streets. With the Art Corso, we celebrate Amsterdam's vibrant arts and cultural sector and advocate for a livable and affordable city for everyone. Because what kind of city does Amsterdam want to be?
Saturday, May 25, 2024, starting at 1:00 PM. For the third year in a row, the Cultural Stelling van Amsterdam (CSA) presents a festive tribute to its city with the Amsterdam Art Corso, winding its way through Amsterdam. The Corso starts at 1:00 PM in Vondelpark and goes through Museumplein, Leidsestraat to Dam Square, Rozengracht, Haarlemmerplein, and ends with a finale at Stenen Hoofd!
Met verkoopexpositie 'Oh My Baby'
Op dinsdag 16 april bent u van harte welkom om Nieuw en Meer/Kate te bezoeken voor een eendaagse mixed media-presentatie door de studenten van de afdeling Beeld en Taal van de Rietveld Academie. Kom langs van 16.30 tot 19.30 uur. Live muziek vanaf 17:00!
Graag nodigen we je uit voor onze tentoonstelling.
Te zien is keramisch werk van onze cursisten, atelierdelers en medewerkers, alles gemaakt onder het
thema 'Vrijheid'
At the start there is not something and there is not nothing. Everything is in the world, camouflaged as everything, residing around us and free for use. Only when you take hold of it you can be on to something. This is well understood by the artists of the exhibition Triple A; Nayul Kim, Daniel Hofstede and Marc Oosting.
Meet Leendert van Accoleyen. Upon Kate's invitation, Leendert is staying as Artist in Residence at Nieuw en Meer. On March 29th at 5:00 PM, Leendert's work will be on display.
