Uit Het Gareel pop-up exhibition
22 September 2022, article
Welcome to Amare's Kunstenplein
You are now located in our building's cultural heart and you are experiencing a world of alternative realities. But what are you really seeing? Allow us to explain the idea behind this pop-up exhibition by the collective Uit Het Gareel from The Hague and scroll down to read the creator's note that comes with each of the art pieces you now see in front of you. Perhaps you'll be surprised by the underlying meaning of the pieces you see here today. Take a walk around and be inspired by the pieces created by a bunch of young artists.
About the exhibition
The theatre symbolises imagination and connection. It's a place for coming together, where dramatic drapes open a path to a new world. As the lines between reality and imagination blur, walls are broken down and spaces are created. These spaces nourish new ideas, fantasies and realities. The exhibition Alternative Realities by Uit Het Gareel shows pieces by a diverse group of young artists. The pieces open a door to an alternative reality. From new perspectives and alternative conceptions of community to digitally altered realities and contemporary rituals.
All about the art work
In collaboration with Funda Baysal, with special thanks to Tetem.
"Vahria" - generative art
Vahria is an inquiry into the breaking points between two and three dimensions. Using spheres Brito attempts to create a tension between flatness and depth. Regular bodies become distorted blobs and circles. Occasionally, triangles are revealed, which are fundamental units in computer graphics.
For this collaborative project by Julie de Ruijter (Studio POCA) & Beer van Geer, the artists study the rhythm of the human heart. Our heart rhythm is unique and at the same time reflects our continuously transforming nature; our emotions, feeling and connection to our environment and natural rhythms.
Through a combination of digital techniques and intuitive drawings, the artists have converted 16 unique rhythms of their loved ones into personal totems. Together, the totems form a tribe, which will be expanded in the coming years. As a visitor you can also have a totem made of your heart rhythm. Behind every rhythm is a story, what is your story?
Alice in Wonderland showcases a world of transformation and fantasy. What is reality and what is perception? These pink curtains demonstrate that nothing is quite what it seems. Get lost in a dream just like Alice.
Royal Blue by Celia Hadeler
Royal blue is a petrol-like shade that accentuates the voluptuous and pompous qualities of the drapes. The falling folds radiate calmness and serenity.
Orange Orange by Celia Hadeler
Hadeler’s piece Orange Orange screams colour. The fabric emanates a rich and magnetic energy that captivates the viewer.
