Growing Green Cities @floriadeexpo2022

A New neighbourhood of Almere is about being built. Now you can visit the six-month exposition of #horticulture & #circulardesign. After that, the masterplan of @mvrdv will turn this #Floriade into a true #greencity including the first museum of #Almere! With that future idea in mind it was a pleasure for me to stroll around in this park🌳🌱

Simon says; few weeks ago the @floriadeexpo2022 opened in #Almere, NL, for a six-month exposition of its theme, Growing Green Cities. After that, the masterplan of @mvrdv will turn this expo into a true green city including the first museum of Almere! With that future idea in mind it was a pleasure for me to stroll around in this park🌳🌱

🌐↪️🇯🇵 How the world entered postwar Japan

When you look from a western point of view toward Japanese prints, you expect beautiful craftsmanship with woodprints of traditional Japanese people or nature. The exhibition @sieboldhuis in Leiden is different. They partnered with the Amsterdam based private collection @nihonnohanga and curated a fabulous exhibition

More than 600 works are collected in 30 years by Ms Elise Wessels from Nihon No Hanga. And the curated exhibition in Leiden shows a 'creative' approach of Japanese prints; titled Sōsaku hanga. ➡️ On display until May 29!

Checkout how the world 🌐↪️ entered Japan:

Fantastic exhibition of Sol Lewitt keyworks @jewis

Fantastic exhibition of Sol Lewitt keyworks @jewishmuseumbelgium in front of 'Wall Drawing #368 1982'

Brilliant concept. A set of painting instructions, a skilled team of painters & and an approval of use by the heritage team of the @lewittstudio is all you need. Reminds me of a Blockchain concept and current day NFT trading. What is the real value of Art, and does it keep it's value?

In this keywork, the wall is divided into five equal parts, each containing lines in what LeWitt calls the four basic directions. These combinations of lines would be referenced exhaustively and serially in many subsequent wall drawings. The first work using colours❤💛💙🖤

Must see when in Brussels! Until July 31

Four vases and One man: @boukedevries @artbrussels represented by @galerieronmandos

Real glass and real Delft Pottery combined. The works of Bouke shows to me, genuine craftmanship, history lessons and a beautiful object to enjoy.

@ronmandos had to teach me a bit about this edition in front of you. It's tobacco pot and when you zoom in you spot the clay pipes. Carefully placed 18th century Delft pottery shards tells the story of it's past. The original shape is exactly rebuild with the glass shape around. Nice to meet you again!!🤍

Visit his works until Sunday @toursandtaxi #ArtBrussels

What a pleasant discovery of @lindo_the_artist @galeriecarolekvasnevski at the artfair @thesoloprojectbxl

Do you see the faces inside the camera? The South Africa artist made this beautiful painted works with references to the beauty of his black community. Can't recall all details the friendly Flavien @fly0us told me, here on the pic, but the lips👄 are worth noting. Also on the faces inside the camera. Which one of the two is your favorite?

Its 20th minutes walking south the canal south of #artbrussels. Go & take a look! Open till Sunday

Look closely, can your find the Word; Someday?😆

Opening of the solo exhibition @saidkinos @rootgallery

This exhibition has a four meter high sculpture centerpiece. Beautiful how the inside mirrors create more dept 👌 I really feel that Saïd took the next step in his career and we could see his works appear in public space. After all, do you remember when you see new Art sculptures in public space? Was it the Fox by #Florentijnhofman or kabouter🍑? More #publicart please! @gemeenterotterdam 🙏

Open on Thu-Sat afternoons. Until June 9 in Rotterdam. Great combination when visiting #artrotterdam

Weekend tip! 🐟#caldernow weekend @kunsthal Thi

Weekend tip! 🐟#caldernow weekend @kunsthal

This 'mobile' is part of the 20 #AlexanderCalder works of the @calderfoundation combined with many other artists who are inspired by the kineticsculpture artist. Final weeks! Until May 29

“#AlexanderCalder was the pioneer of the “mobile” that we know today, and the founder of kinetic art. The name “mobile” was gifted by Marcel Duchamp in 1931. Calder’s sculptures were incredibly delicate and, crucially, they moved. 🌬His sculptures were designed in such a way that they would catch the air currents in a room or the breeze outside, a revolutionary concept in the world of art almost 100 years ago

Would be great to get to know your brothers better

Would be great to get to know your brothers better, mr @wonderbuhle 💪🏿😋 🌹@galerieronmandos until May 1

Portraying his brothers, the works Ama Tempest Calmer I & II shows you a conversation piece. Take a closer look. Did you see the different faces🎭 first? ..Or did you see the mirrored images?

The more you look..Magical mint 🧫 colours, moonlight🌜 lit personages dotted with flowers💮🌸appears to me as contemporary black pride 💪🏿

Simon says: Quite often Insta shows you beautiful art. Rarely I see (solo) shows in real life who outperform the online experience. This exhibition by WonderBuhle @galerieronmandos nailed it. Perfect ambiance, strike 10 for all the works shown and this stunning masterpiece in front of you. Go to Amsterdam before it's too late! *Until May 1*

Carpe diem🌞This week the Keukenhof opened her doors again after being closed for more than 2 years. Feeling grateful to live in a country where we are able to go sightseeing flowers 💙💛

#freedom #keukenhof2022

☻️ @de_pont_museum shows an impressive, dark ànd stunning overview of Kara Walkers works

The Imposter Syndrome, is one of the works of #karawalker which can be shared online without being flagged of explicitly 🚩Her work shows her ongoing activism for inclusivity of the black community with portraying also the horrible acts of unjustice. You have to see this exhibition☻️

Rethink your own prejudice and contemporary topics like populism, MeToo & GeorgeFloyd. I leave this show with renewed awareness that #racism still does impact a large part of our society and should NOT be there. Next to her meticulous black paper cutouts and stopmotion movies, the exhibition shows a more than 650 works out of her private sketchbook collection

@kara_walker_official and her exhibition: #ablackholeiseverythingastarlongstobe can be seen until July 24 in #museumdepont

Thanks @bnster010 for inviting me✌️

My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine 💛🇺🇦

Repost of 2018 when I made a roundtrip in this beautiful country

Back then, almost every art gallery had an artistic reply to the growing tension with Russia. It was just part of daily life. Now that reply has come to a pause. This photo was made in the @pinchukartcentre Kyiv
...
Contemporary art, just like a good functioning democracy, creates "a sense of possibilities"

Ukraine, a country with some shared historical and cultural legacies with Russia, is building democracy. In 2019 new elections are coming up. All of this democratic activity right on Russia’s borders threatens Putin and his system of government

If Ukrainians can make democracy work, they might inspire Russians to want the same. Therefore, Putin remains deeply committed to undermining Ukraine’s still-fragile democratic project. It's a museum with airport security checks

“The question is not whether sea levels will ris

“The question is not whether sea levels will rise by one, two or three metres, but when.” by Kadir van Lohuizen

This week @dutchdubai2020 the photo exhibition by
@kadirvanlohuizen opened. I was lucky to meet him. To me he is the best photographer about climate change. And I am looking forward to his new series of the Netherlands

What you see here is the final image 📷 that was posted on the @worldpressphoto recently. Titled ‘Where will we go?’, is a series were Kadir explores the immediate consequences of rising sea levels around the world. 🌳It's a tree which stands alone by the disappearing shoreline on the island Fiji. The shoreline is heavily eroded due to rising seas and frequent floods and the inhabitants had to be relocated

Checkout @noorimages to see more of him in the Netherlands

What a fantastic pavilion @dutchdubai2020👌 Don

What a fantastic pavilion @dutchdubai2020👌

Don't talk about the future. Show it! Our Dutch visual and performing arts, as well as buildings and design, do tell the story of our country 🇳🇱

How to feed, house and secure almost 10bn people by 2050 on this planet? Rethink the use & demand of scarce resources. The Netherlands pavilion is designed as a biotope, a ♻️ circular climate system that brings together Dutch innovative solutions to unite water, energy & food 💦🌞🌱

💦 During night time, in collab with artist @apverheggen, 900L+ water is extracted from the air. And Dutch as we are, you can drink it for free at the bar!

🌱 Harvest food with almost 10.000 edible plants outside the cone or mushrooms from the inside. The tiles on the ground are made from mushrooms & even the orange water bottles -with free water😉- are plant based

🌞 One hour of sunlight is enough to supply the entire planet with energy for a year! Designer @marjanvanaubel tapped into this potential and designed the beautiful organic solarpanels

🤓 No air-condition is needed due to the smart building design by @v8architects @expomobilia @witteveenbos.middleeast @kossmanndejong. Check out my photos to get a glimpse of the amazing experience design👌

After the @expo2020dubai, the building will be completely dismantled. The rented steel structures will be returned to the local constructor. The flexible solarpanels will be recycled. Appliances will be donated locally

But what will happen with the artworks?

The 🕛 alarm clocks by @atelier_van_lieshout, the Dutch 🌾perfume installation by #birtheleemeijer or the🌗 bioplastic curtains by @burobelen

Art is Timeless, right?

Wish all of you a colourful & lovely time together

The Sound of Silence @rootgallery is a beautiful⌛ kinetic artinstallation by @quindaverheul__⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Witness how dunes appear on the floor. Don't walk and don't talk⏳ Listen to the soft noise of sand falling out from the ceiling 🤩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Quinda and her team did some workout to get all this sand to the topfloor of the gallery. The interaction with the building makes it exciting to observe as well. The weight of the sand, how did they filled up the sand reserves? This large installation renewed my interest to take a closer look at her regular sized works again @quindaverheul__ 🖤 Looking forward to see the Black mirror series next year!
