SALON/Big Bang; Merged worlds by Jef Montes and Simone Albers
SALON/Big Bang;Merged worlds by Jef Montes and Simone Albers at de Oude Kerk
About:
Jef Montes is in 2012 afgestudeerd aan ArtEZ hogeschool voor de kunsten Arnhem, Fashion Design BA-hons. Hij heeft zijn label opgericht met de intentie om zijn opvolgende collecties naar een hoger niveau te tillen en om zijn unieke stijl te ontplooien. Jef heeft bij verschillende internationale exposities geparticipeerd en heeft zijn debuut-collectie gepresenteerd op de Mercedes Benz Amsterdam Fashion Week Januari 2014. Zijn studio zit gevestigd in het centrum van Arnhem, waar hij experimenteert met manipulaties van materialen en architectonische vormen. Er ontstaat een combinatie waar klassieke handwerktechnieken worden omgezet door het gebruik van innovatieve materialen.
Simone Albers studeerde Fine Art aan ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Arnhem. Bij haar eindexamententoonstelling in 2012 presenteerde ze imaginaire landschappen, geschilderd op groot formaat. Na het afstuderen startte ze haar eigen bedrijf, exposeerde ze bij diverse Nederlandse organisaties en ging ze nieuw werk ontwikkelen op haar atelier. Ze haalt haar inspiratie uit haar database vol met verzamelde afbeeldingen van landschappen, fenomenen en curiositeiten. Door collage- technieken toe te passen vertaalt ze deze afbeeldingen naar schilderijen. Ze droomt over de natuur haar grootste raadsels en nodigt de toeschouwer uit om met haar op ontdekkingsreis te gaan.

About: Klaas Kuiken. In 2010 Klaas Kuiken graduated from ArtEZ School of Arts in Arnhem (NL). In his work process Kuiken is more an inventor and craftsman than a designer, which gives him a different, new look on materials, techniques and the production process. This approach provides
him with endless possibilities and - combined with his designing qualities- makes him an innovative
designer. For example, in the collection ‘New Found Treasures’ (in collaboration with Dieter Volkers), Klaas Kuiken’s work is characterized by his pleasure in experiment and research. Kuiken often aims to add new function and new value to his collection of ‘found treasures’. Without losing any of the work’s recognizability, Kuiken has shaped unplanned objects in which the treasures have found a new way to manifest themselves. The collection ‘New Found Treasures’ gives a poetic look at the things around us and the value of worthless.About: Peter van der West.

SALON/Big Bang: Celestial Teapot Project by Joris Landman
www.celestialteapotproject.com is a series of events and presentations, 2014–ongoing by Joris Landman
Project description
Artist and designer Joris Landman wants to put a teapot in orbit around the sun. During SALON/Big Bang, he presents an update on his Celestial Teapot Project. The image of a teapot floating in space comes from a 1950s article about religion, by thinker and scientist Bertrand Russell. In that text, Russell compared the belief in a god to the belief in a teapot orbiting the sun. Over the following 60+ years, that image was spread in many iterations and variations. It has acquired iconic status in scientific and digital culture, and has become a symbol for philosophical questions about reality. Joris is fascinated by the Celestial Teapot. Why and how are this imagery, and the ideas it represents, being perpetuated? Working from the assumption that the best way to understand how a thing works, is to actually make it, Joris aims to launch a teapot into space, following the literal words from the original article. He is bringing together a group of individuals and organizations to share this goal, and to turn the virtual icon into actual reality. The output of the project is an ongoing series of events, presentations and collaborations—with experts ranging from theologians to astrophysicists and ceramists, on subjects ranging from Christian liturgy to Silicon Valley and Alice in Wonderland—until that goal is realized. www.celestialteapotproject.com
About:
Joris Landman works as an independent graphic designer for local, national and international clients with a focus on creative industries and digital media. He also does commissioned and non-commissioned art and design projects in a wide range of media, which have been presented in international museums, manifestations and magazines. Constant in his work, is his interest in the emergence and storage of meaning through man-made signs and signals. www.jorislandman.com

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.

SALON/Big Bang; MaryMe-JimmyPaul at the Oude Kerk
MaryMe-JimmyPaul works with the area that exists between art and fashion. Taking inspiration from their own created stories, worlds, people and view on the current (and past) pop culture, they show fashion in a different way.
Constantly pushing the boundaries of shape, textures and colors, they raise eyebrows with their big, sculptural works that not only provide a surprising look, but also evoke a feeling. This feeling, or emotion, is one of the most important factors in the works of MaryMe-JimmyPaul. It explains to the viewer what the collection is about and what the label stands for at that particular time.
With the help of different disciplines from the art and fashion world, MaryMe-JimmyPaul takes the viewer into the beautiful, eerie, humorous, bizarre, grandiose fantasy fashion world of MaryMe-JimmyPaul, through its unique presentation. The end result is an explosion in the face, like a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

noman
NOMAN creates installations composed of separate sculptures that are a distillation of everyday reality. These are abstractions of form, material and colour, just the elements themselves. The ingredients for our imagery are drawn from the world around us, but do not refer back to it; they are part of a new Utopia.
By isolating objects from their functionality and altering their form (re-tailoring them, as it were) we breathe new life into them, as with the curtains in the NOSHO project. There is nothing that alludes to the former use of the drapes and we imbue them with a new lease of live, giving them a personality and a distinctive identity.
The proportion of the forms to the human scale is highly important for this personification; they should fit a human being, as it were. The sculptures therefore suggest the calm, silent presence of a notional character. This serves as a means for us to encourage the sculptures to enter into a relationship with the public, but also establishes relationships between the objects themselves and between the elements from which they are composed. We do this so that the public can recognise themselves in this human scale.
These constituent elements imply a common bond, a familiar origin, and this is what makes the staging complete: in their group formation the sculptures function like a ‘super-organism’ or tribe that manifests itself in conjunction with or in antithesis to the public; rather than repel the public, the installation subsequently integrates them.
The complete installations are evocative of fictitious scenes featuring abstract characters. The palette and composition propagates an insistent, ominous atmosphere. The references to what we know and recognise in the images are fragments, isolated insinuations. By means of concealment and omission we ratchet up the suspense in this alienated world. The resulting tension generates a subconscious flux of feelings in onlookers, putting their senses on alert.
This dark layer plays an important part in our work and we believe that it is also deployable in media other than sculpture. Proceeding from this idea we produced a film, The Final Result Should Be Wonderful, which is an assemblage of suggestive elements and in that regard continues a line of approach which is similar to that in the rest of our work. Once again the image comprises a choreographed grouping, in this case of real people, among whom there is a mutual bond. This bond is reinforced by the introduction of a deed, namely the action/reaction of passing on the kiss.
A characteristic feature of the formal idiom we employ is a multiplicity of materials presented in simple, abstract forms. For example, the NOCOM installation is composed of 4,000 individual threads that are fashioned into solid units, transforming the fragility into powerful, abstract shapes. What we aim to achieve is an aesthetic that makes the public feel they are involved with a complexity that does not repel, but is clear-cut, intelligible and orderly. Such complexity simultaneously implies that there are multiple angles of approach and observation points. In general the works have no front or rear, nor do they direct the public to adopt a particular standpoint. Unequivocal perception does not constitute an interesting or realistic representation of the world as we experience and perceive it.
The creation of our images stems from an intrinsic, intuitive mode of collaboration. The abstract language that we employ as a collaborative duo is one that we mutually and intuitively understand. It is not a verbal language, given that the aim of our method of working is to break free of the world as we know it. It is possible for us to communicate with each other in a visual language through which we understand each other very clearly. For example, during the development of a work we both sense when a component might need to be shifted an inch to the left. For us this indicates that there are certain truths which are impossible to pin down on rational grounds, which provides the opportunity to connect with each other spiritually. It is this connection that we are ultimately seeking to establish with our public as well: we do not provide them with a narrative and the situation in which they find themselves is not made explicit. This means that there is an intuitive exchange of information rather than a rationalised imparting of information.

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)

Maartje Jaquet, Madonna and Child, collage series.
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: 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; 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.
