SALON/Big Bang: Doorhout Mees at the Amstelkerk

Doorhout Mees

About: The label Dorhout Mees was founded by Dutch designer Esther Louise Dorhout Mees. After her studies at ArtEZ Academy of Arts in Arnhem and many years of working as a designer for established labels, such as Bruuns Bazaar and Tommy Hilfiger, it was time to start her own label.

Dorhout Mees is distinctive in its elegant style. It is feminine and conceptual, but wearability is always an important element. Organic forms contrasted sharp next to constructual forms. The base of all collections are prints, silk, wool and delicate knits. Combined with the use of wearable unconventional materials.

Fasinaction of the constant connection between body and material, covering and uncovering of the female body is always the starting point. Contradictions in structures, silhouette and textures are the essence of the collections. (photocredits: Mimi Berlin)

SALON/Big Bang; BIG BANG RESONATORS

Opening Thursday July 10th : 12.00 - 18.00.

BIG
BANG
RESONATORS

EXHIBITION by Vonck at DITS.

In his contribution to the Big Bang edition of Salon, Vonck delved deep
into his fascination and fear for the scientific method. First he follows
the “Lone Observers” on their quest for the exploration of human lust and
desire. He understands their affinity to moral seclusion and sees their
inclination towards ruthless objectivism.

Then he directs our attention towards the stars with a radio telescope his
father worked on as young engineer. And we see the grounds on which these
instruments of expectation and hope were build: “We are all Big Bang
Resonators”.

At last Vonck presents us the man made star child. Our celestial prodigy
that will provide us with limitless energy and will finally elevate us
from our humble earth: “The Hot Fusion Seduction.”

The Resonator Exhibition at DITS is part of Salon Amsterdam, Big Bang
Edition. The works can be seen from 10th of July to 24th of August.

Hope to see you at Thursday, otherwise: The works are exhibited in an area
of Amsterdam that never sleeps. Come an see them in their nocturnal
radiance.

SALON/Big Bang: Fracture Space by Liselore Frowijn

SALON/Big Bang: Fracture space by Liselore Frowijn at the Oude Kerk

During SALON/Big Bang fashion designer Liselore Frowijn will present her new collection

and fragrance. Liselore recently graduated cum laude at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in

Arnhem in 2013 on her bachelor of fashion design. With her final collection she won the

Frans Molenaar Couture Award and participated in the Festival International de Mode

et de Photographie à Hyères last April, where she won the Grand Prix with her design

for Chloé. This year she worked on several projects such as for Vlisco and participated on

several exhibitions. During the last months Frowijn worked on her new collection.

In her work Liselore is permanently searching for the clash on sportswear and luxury.

The concept of her new collection ‘’Fracture space’’ is based on the wardrobe of a woman

who is fully at ease with herself. She moves elegantly and dynamically in space, and lets no

person interrupt her energy. Instinctively she knows the base of pure luxury. The silhouette

is based upon biking-jackets, carried out in tweed, and finished with sporty pipings.

Liselore combined her own developed and hand painted fabrics with materials from the

outdoor industry, together with rich jacquards from Italy. With this collection she caught all vibrations of this enervating year: all bits and pieces that surrounded her and developed her signature. Like the auras of Kokoschka, his powerful paintings displayed the energy of his characters; he unrevealed their soul on almost an animal kind of way with his rough brush. His work inspired Frowijn to develop rhythmic prints, floral and striped, carried out in colours of the night. (photocredits: JW Kaldenbach)

SALON/Big Bang: Maartje Jaquet at the Amstelkerk

SALON/Big Bang: Maartje Jaquet at the Amstelkerk

Maartje Jaquet, Madonna and Child, collage series.

Artist statement:

I work in different media: video art, photography, poetry.
My latest passion is collage, handmade with scissors, tape and glue.
In the Madonna&Child series I combine pictures from second hand art history books with plain images from how-to-take-care-of-your-indoor-plants kind of books. I cut away, replace, juxtapose, intertwine and overlap parts of these sacred and so well known images of Maria and her baby Jesus with images of flowers, leaves, branches and fruit, thus playing with concepts of fertility and immaculate conception, mother earth and the divine, life and death, love and loss.

SALON/Big Bang; Frank Bruggeman at the Oude Kerk

SALON/Big Bang; Answered Prayers by Frank Bruggeman at the Oude Kerk

 ABOUT: Frank Bruggeman (Noordoostpolder, 1966) lives and works in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Frank Bruggeman is a graduate of Academy of Arts, Arnhem and National Highschool of Horticulture, Nijmegen. Since 2002 he has had numerous solo and group exhibitions including

Boijmans van Beuningen (Rotterdam), Salone Internationale di Mobile(Milan) and Museum

of Modern Art (Arnhem). His works are part of the permanent collection of Boijmans van

Beuningen (Rotterdam). Frank Bruggeman's work evinces a great fascination with nature, and especially with plant materials, which result in installations, so-called flowerpieces and plantscapes and designs for interiors and the public realm. The main topic in his work is floral nature. The outcome is positioned in the field of art and design, questioning both areas. Bruggemans loose and playful compositions are however more than just decorative. The result is a balance between a natural

and artificial approach which mostly depends on the given context. His body of work contains

installations, objects, photography and design for public space. Nature always refers to itself

as a local or exotic botanical element. As a mental contrast he uses industrial artefacts which

are coated with a special highly unnatural blue colour. (photocredits: Mimi Berlin)
