Robin de Vogel, a third year
student at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy who has lived in Aruba, is fascinated by
the tangible signs of time, particularly those observed in architecture. These
'signs of decay' as she calls it are considered to be a flaw or something ugly.
And therefore ignored. Robin de Vogel started repairing the holes and cracks in
the city center of Amsterdam with self made pieces of ceramics which she glazed
in a decorative manner, highlighting the signs of decay in the architecture by
making them into little ornaments. She said: "In my work I
try to pose questions about perception. The pieces blend in with the
architecture and their presence is subtle, but at the same time they have a
delicate decorative quality that grabs the viewers' attention. The project
poses questions about aesthetics and underlines the temporal aspect of
life". Across
the winterSALON/2012 locations, she has repaired a tile, a broken curb, missing
cement, or a hole.
The concept and excecution is AMAZING...!!!!!

ReplyDeleteTaking art to another level, penetrating into society and connecting with humanity as opposed to passively waiting in a museum. Superb!
