winterSALON/2012: Desiree Hammes 'Follow me into the nowhere' - embroidery art in blacklight

Is this the under or upper side of Desiree's embroidery? 

Embroidery artist Desiree Hammen (1976) studied at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem and is trained at the famous Ecole Lesage in Paris, France. In her work she combines haute couture techniques with DIY skills, exploring the beauty of imperfection. For her punk and intuitive style she can be called the enfant terrible of haute embroidery couture techniques for taking traditional crafts to another level.
During winterSALON/2012 Desiree Hammen created a special piece, called 'Follow me into the nowhere', inspired by song lyrics of Crystal Castles. Intrigued by the fact that in embroidery the bottom part is as beautiful as the visual part but never showed, she turned things upside down by focussing what's litteraly under the surface. And not removed the treads - a tabboo in terms of haute couture! Desiree explains: "If one embroiders a cloth there always is an upper side and a bottom side. While working I discovered that all these loose and unfinished threads on the bottom side form an interesting interplay. Thereafter I started developing this interplay on purpose in order to integrate the two sides of the embroidery frame into one work. The work is illuminated by blacklight, or UV light. This light shines through the matter (surface) and in this way it creates a world like a galaxy."

winterSALON/2012: 'Your Opinion, My Opinion' by Ken Wolff (video artist)

Video still from 'your opinion my opinion' (2012)
Wolff Independents/Ken Wolff

'Ungraspable communication; the understandings of send and received information between two or more individuals. An interpretation of what is being considered understood in an act of a conversation'. With these words Ken Wolff describes his video 'Your opinion, My opinion' he created for winterSALON/2012, exhibited in the Bijbels Museum in Amsterdam. 
The video shows a woman and a man, standing across each other, saying nothing. Their facial expression we cannot see due to their black painted faces. Only for a moment a flash of lightning reveiles animated eyes, nose, cheekbones of the models.
This video is about non verbal communication, Ken Wolff explains. He deliberately casted a woman and a man because they often have another way of expression, what can lead to miscommunication.  
Ken Wolff (Aruba, 1983) is a visual artist and VJ currently living in Amsterdam and is studying at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. His work moves between video art, hand drawings and Animation with a sense of raw, playful, yet professional edge and is mainly influenced by his Caribbean descent. His company Wolff Independents is a media production company focusing on creative videos, animations and short films.
