Very grateful to show my new artinstallation at the @bigartnl exhibition from Thursday September 30th until Sunday October 4th 2021:

Viriditas (SURVIVE YOURSELF, PERPETUATE THE SPECIES, UNBURDEN THE EARTH), 2021

When it comes to our host, planet earth, do you think that you are being a good guest?
Like all other living organisms we are programmed for two things only; perpetuate the individual and perpetuate the species. We also know that our brain can’t handle and oversee a timespan of more than 70 years.
Is our programmed brain capable of acting on the global issues that can no longer be ignored?

Three designclassic chairs turned into rocking chairs that invite you to take a seat.
Do we still have time for that or should we make time? Do we soothe our souls or allow ourselves to think about what is really being asked of us?

‘Viriditas’ is a reminder of the importance of our connection to nature and comes from the Latin words for ‘GREEN’ and ‘TRUTH’. (Hildegard von Bingen, 12th century AD)

Dimensions rocking chairs:
Height 300 cm
Width 125-140 cm
Depth 91 cm

I am very excited to show my new installation at the Big Art 2021 exhibit by curator @annevanderzwaag!

On a unique location full of monumental industrial buildings in Zaanstad, a former ammunition factory hall is the backdrop for XL and XXL artworks during Big Art 2021.

Ticket sales for the Big Art exhibition started already…
Will I see you there?

HEAVEN IS ON YOUR RIGHT
YOUR TRUTH OR MINE
NEVER EVER FIT THE MOULD
ALMOST DOESN’T COUNT
MAKE NATURE GREAT AGAIN

Birgit:
“About the "Irenic" series:
Ceramic making is a craft and one of the oldest art forms in the world. The first painted and decorated vases from far before our era give us an idea of the daily life of that time.

That we have this knowledge is due to the almost indestructible character of pottery. It can break to shards, but will survive the ravages of time. It can withstand the elements and the harshest conditions.

What if our current pottery turns up at an archaeological site hundreds of years from now? What will future generations learn about us then?
In the series "Irenic", contemporary personal and social issues are both title and the work of art.

Irenic: aiming at peace (comes from the Greek word "eirene", peace)”
