STRP and Schemerlicht have joined forces in a talent programme. The programme supports the production of new artworks that respond to the theme of the upcoming Schemerlicht festival, Consciousness. The works can be seen at Schemerlicht Festival in Nijmegen from 9 to 19 October. STRP and Schemerlicht support the three young artists with a budget to realise their project plans, and with guidance in the development, production, presentation and distribution of their work.
Schemerlicht Festival is an outdoor thematic art route taking place each October in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. At Schemerlicht we believe that art, in dialogue with science and nature, makes the abstract visible and helps us understand our place in the world. We use the experience of artworks as a tool.
Visit Schemerlicht Festival from 9 to 19 October! For more info & tickets: https://schemerlichtfestival.n...
Delaying Waterfall – Ellis Holman
The slowed-down waterfall invites us to step out of the information stream for a moment, and to simply experience our surroundings rather than try to understand them. The work explores what happens when we let go of the need for control and allow our bodies to experience the world before our minds give it meaning.
The quality of being fluvial – Carmen Molenaar
In this way Molenaar makes us look differently at the river and at the landscape we are part of. The delta is not a fixed given. It is a living, changing system shaped by water, soil, climate and human activity. The work makes us aware of processes that often unfold out of sight, on a timescale different from that of our everyday lives.
by-product – Charlotte Roschka
Yet what we recognise in it also says something about ourselves. Just as we effortlessly see a rabbit or an elephant in the clouds, our consciousness is constantly searching for meaning and familiar shapes. by-product brings together the origin of life and our own way of perceiving: what do we really see, and how much of it is shaped by the way we look?
