Forget Winter! 🔥Folkert’s World, the Ministry of Foam & Fear is now open💀💗🪚👀@kunsthal_kade_amersfoort

His spooky statues and use of bright pink & baby blue colors made me very happy🤘Will you💞it too?

@folkert.dejong 👻

The Pink Room, aka purgatory 🔥by @folkert.dejon

The Pink Room, aka purgatory 🔥by @folkert.dejong in his solo exhibition @kunsthal_kade_amersfoort

Ministry of Fear/Foam. With just two construction materials, styrofoam and polyethylene, he magically creates a lightweight world with grotesque horror & macabre humor

The #Purgatory #vagevuur 🔥space is completely covered with pink 💓construction foam. Folkert decided to hand carve 🔪🪚the entire space and the two figures that come into it

I got the sensation that I'm encountering an experienced artist who still adores his profession because the rough cuts sculptures are so exact 👌👍 Therefore, go and visit this expo! Up until June 7. It’s a 10min+ walk from the station and a few minutes away from @museumflehite

If you walk or climb around in his scaffolding exhibition, you discover his famous large works from the Stedelijk & Groninger museum, “Icemen Cometh” 📷3as well as his famous sculpture, “the Shooting..”, premiered at Art Basel 📷2

The beautiful new book from Folkert is designed by @75b_official and his limited edition of heads are now on sale😍

Who needs Squid Game when you have the library of Stuttgart?

I have spent the afternoon getting lost in the clean white staircases of the library of Stuttgart, designed by a Korean architect #eunyoungyi 😃Talk about some serious #InteriorGoals

It’s like I stepped into an episode of the Korean Netflix series Squid Game. Where the set design is always pristine and mesmerizing.

Did you know those where inspired by the Dutch graphic designer MC Escher? Especially the infinity staircase drawing, #escherrelativity 1953. Can’t wait to get lost in more modern beautiful designs by Korean architects 🇰🇷

Big, bold and beautiful 😍The Rose🌹1980 by Gilbert and George @staatsgaleriestuttgart

What a special year this work is made🤓And what a great work by the artist couple #gilbertandgeorge. This silver print with red dye is part of the #sammlungrolfhkrauss 📷 and now on display in the HYPERIMAGE exhibition until Feb 5, 2023

The bright red rose appears with great directness in front of the deep black background. Twelve shiny black-framed picture fields feels like a luminous wall of monitors. Is this truly a photo? The authentic feeling of a real rose, fragile nature & symbol of love is gone. The monumental #Hyperimage is born.

Goodday Woldgate woods❄️❄️The winter by @d

Goodday Woldgate woods❄️❄️The winter by @davidhockneyofficial now @teylersmuseum

This moving living landscape dates from 2010. It’s the predecessor of his immersive paintings seven years later. Hockney wants you to be part of his work.

He filmed the landscapes in Woldgate at different moment during one year. He was using nine separate cameras. With that technique, nine horizons appear. To me it’s feels like being immersed into his frozen reality

#Hockney’s original theories on perspective and experiments are the focus of the wonderful exhibition in Haarlem @teylersmuseum until January 29

Tip: Take a closer look at the road as soon as the car makes a turn to the right. Spot the shadows of the cameras 🎥

Meet the artist @frans_franciscus @the_curators_room

Located just a few minutes walk from Pan Amsterdam you find the revived @artchapelamsterdam in the park where until the end of this year, the curated exhibition 11+11=22 by @gabrielrolt can be seen

Of course you did see the kissing boys

Frans stated: “I never truly intended to put ‘gayness’ into my work. There may be a political agenda here, but I am an artist, not a politician. I put my own life stories into my work while showing my love for the Great Masters and their relationship with beauty.”

There so much more to see. Did you notice the symbolic elements?💀Which time period of the previous century do you think of? 👔 Swipe to take a closer look at the work: Götterdämmerung⚡️ (Twilight of the Gods)

The World of @hans_op_de_beeck @galerieronmandos

The World of @hans_op_de_beeck @galerieronmandos

Does he sees man as a tragic-comic? A being who stages the world around him? Hans Op de Beeck creates large installations, films, paintings and shows mortality that run through it

Yet, his works appear dreamy instead of dark🖤 And with the fifty shades of grey 🌚, Op de Beeck wants to stimulate the viewers’ senses and invites you to fully engage with the image. Quite often, you will stay quiet and enjoy the silence

The grey carpet has rolled out. Experience #hansopdebeeck now until the final day of this year @galerieronmandos

Start of Carnaval! 11.11.22 Shout out today to artist Shen Özdemir @shen.ozdemir

As a Belgian-Turkish artist living in Belgium, she visualized her interpretation of this cultural phenomena while adding Turkish references. Look at the position of the masks. By pairing the heads in groups, you create families, caring for each other. More at @karnavalo_ A lovely example of how cultures mix. I met Shen in September in Brussels at the @brusselsgalleryweekend

Dutch premiere of #sevendeathsofmariacallas @theatercarre 🥳 Second time to hold the hand of Lady #marinaabramovic

Marina handpicked me in 2014 at the @serpentineuk #512hourswithmarinaabramovic performance and from that moment I became a lifetime fan of her. Fantastic to see her performance now in Carré!

Wabi sabi in the Netherlands. Japanese autumn come

Wabi sabi in the Netherlands. Japanese autumn comes with the feeling, “comfortable not being perfect”.

The Japanese garden in @thisisthehague #parkclingendael merges art & nature. 🍂🍁Open only two weeks this year, it’s a must see to see #mossgarden #japaneseacer and #japanesestatue together. Daily open 10-16h till Oct30.

The fascination for Japanese gardens in Europe and the U.S.A. developed when, after two centuries of almost total isolation, Japan opened its ports again around 1860. The Japanese style garden has evolved over several centuries. During her travels in Japan Lady Daisy has tried to grasp the unrivalled character and the aesthetic beauty of the gardens she visited. Back in the Netherlands she created her own interpretation of a Japanese style garden in the Hague around 1910

100x matte black & brilliant black 🖤

Well done exhibition of the
#blackdresschallenge aka #balenciagainblack @kunstmuseum.nl

The duality of light and shadow is a fundamental aspect of his work. Balenciaga arranged elements of his garments to showcase the opposition between the two essential qualities of black, designated by the Latin words ‘niger’ aka ‘brilliant black’, the black of elegance and ceremony. The other colour is called ‘ater’ aka matte black’, the colour of darkness and mourning..the choice of black was also a subtle way of
signalling one’s wealth

This exhibition shows a lot of black wealth until March 2023!

Final call for @floriadeexpo2022 this weekend! The Museum @jijbentm will stay open

Opened this year in the centre of the Floriade, the museum will now become the new heart of neighbourhood Hortus in Almere

If I could highlight a positive legacy of the Floriade, than it would be this beautiful building by the Italian office @studio_ossidiana 👌

They took #circulardesign literally. Three circles are designed on water. One building, one entrance circle and a stage. Feels like a typical worldexpo structure. But this one is here to stay @visitalmere

The temporary exhibition shows “NaturAlly: Wild Futures” where five artists share their challenging future visions about the wild nature that awaits us. 🌿Not sure how that resonates In Almere 🤭

Walking trees🌳🚶‍♀️were my favourite. Designed by @maisonthefaux & @esmaywagemans with soundscapes by @acrespobarba show our synthetical identity. The Trees are made by @blowupsreclameobjecten and curated by @ward.janssen.unclear

The girl with the pearl earring has a new competitor. The gender neutral ‘People With The Yellow Ear’ series with yellow ears🦻

Each portrait is composed out of multiple ethnicities. As Preta quotes Rosa Parks;”There is only one race and that is The Human Race”, she skillfully uses all her #artsandcrafts skills in #embroidery #computerdesign to create these fascinating portraits:

📷2&3: 33% Scottish 33% Azerbaijani 34% Fuegians
📷4: 33% Swedish 33% Marshallese 34% Inuit
📷5: 33% French, 33% Kenyan, 34% Cuban

Art the Hague in the Fokker Terminal has a much better show than last year. If you like #contemporaryart from living artists, this your go to place. Open up untill Sunday

This is the End. Check out this nice expo @sonicacts @w139amsterdam until October 23

In the Canadian Arctic, #icepainting act as #visualnarratives on monumental ice walls

These short-lived works were subject to the friction of ice, the ocean beneath and the changing temperatures, which in time erased the paintings, washing the natural charcoal and food-safe dyes from memory

This film takes the form of an #immersive #videoinstallation comprising of hundreds of on-site field recordings of the shifting surroundings, wildlife, modern tools and overwhelmingly harsh climate

‘‘Gauge’ is a collaboration between artists Danny Osborne, @alexahatanaka and ptrckthmpsn, experimental composer Raven chacon, filmmakers @sarahmcnairlandry and Eric McNair-Landry, and photographer @erikboomer

Celebrating Queer Culture with KURPARK by @norbert

Celebrating Queer Culture with KURPARK by @norbertbisky at @cokkiesnoei till Nov 5

Opened this weekend in Rotterdam, new works by the Berlin painting Norbert Bisky. Mixing figurative with abstract in colourful compositions

KURPARK refers in Germany to Park🌳🌳At the end of the 18th century, the concept of a people's garden emerged in Germany, enabling recreation in a quickly expanding urban setting. The Sunday Best promenade in the Volkspark quickly became the go-to activity for city people from all walks of life. Also #queerculture emerged. In this series, Bisky captures the spectacle of cruising as a dying cultural technique. Check out for yourself🤠

📷: #norbertbisky & @bnster010
🖼️1: Loop II
🖼️2: Humboldthain
🖼️3: Hasenheide (🔎)

📍#cokkiesnoei is a few minutes away from Rotterdam Central Station. Until November 5
