Will play a few songs on feminism. What does it mean to be a woman in modern society. By using sarcastic lyrics combined with projections.
''..I don't care about who you are,
I don't care about your pretty face,
I don't care about what you have to say..''

Wilfred Junior Jansen
Improvised performance, poetry and comments on film.
''..Instictively she lowered her shoulders, her eyes were feverish and crazy, but I couldn't get a fix on them. The damn weekly menu offered a weak smile/now glaving angerly through the glass. The moon rises over the forest slopes in the bowling alleys. Bless my weathered feathers.''

Salon/Big Bang Special Date: Stabilitas Loci

REFTERLEZING 

Christiaan Klasema was monnik in een benedictijner abdij,

waar hij leefde naar een kloosteregel geschreven in de vroege middeleeuwen.

Tijdens een ritueel rond een reftertafel keert hij terug

naar de essentie van het monnikenleven:

stabilitas loci, de standvastigheid op een plek.

[in het kader van de tentoonstelling SALON/Big Bang

rond het jaarthema van Amsterdam: De gelovige stad.

Robin de Vogel, I twisted more than my neck

About: Robin de Vogel How do we relate to the objects around us?
Oftentimes, this question functions as a starting point for Robin de Vogel’s work. Intrigued by the object’s ability to narrate elements of our personal lives, she looks for the moment in which we decide to attach ourselves to an object.

Zooming in on fragments allows her to excavate personal fascinations and simultaneously reflect on society on a larger scale. The applied transformation of material is used to dig into the various layers of meaning, uncovering a very private and intimate connection with the object.

Whether it is a worn out sexdoll, a dusty floor mat, a broken tile, a disregarded trash bin or a souvenir; Robin tries to find the point at which an object is no longer anonymous, ultimately leaving the viewers to question their own roles as owners of objects.


Robin de Vogel was born in Holland and raised in Aruba.
She is currently living and working in the Netherlands.
