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: Studio rENs at the Oude Kerk
RenS (Renee Mennen and Stefanie van Keijsteren) always go their own way , but actively pursue
collaboration. Spontaneity is important to them, but they perform extensive research before getting
down to work, and love exploring boundaries. RenS operate as a duo in order to enable continuous

sparring and pushing each other to the limit. This creates the twist in many of their designs. 
Since they took off in 2008, RenS collaborated with partners like Desso, Cor Unum, Zuiderzeemuseum, Texielmuseum and Lynfabrikken. RenS followed their hearts with RED, a study into meanings and applications of that one specific colour with the strong connotations in multiple areas. Their studio is located in Eindhoven.

SALON/Big Bang: Martin Butler & Floris Didden at the Oude Kerk
-->
In a Landscape (Digital print on Wood 2014) is a collaboration project between artist and stage director Martin Butler and digital painter Floris Didden. Inspired by early 19th centuary theatre design, Floris created a three dimensional digital painting allowing you to enter into a fairy realm. Using the classical stage principles of Trompe-l'œil, and forced perspective, the viewer is able to peer into and enter this represenation of a world between worlds. The piece was orginally commissioned for the mediamatic lightness exhibition " Fays, Fairies and Other Magical Creatures".

About: Floris Didden
is a digital painter and art director and is the founder of Karakter, the twice emmy award
winning gaming visual studio, best known for their visual design works for the television series Game of Thrones.

About: Martin Butler is a British born interdisciplinary artist and stage director. He was trained in Drama at
Manchester University, and then later Choreography and Performance at Amsterdam School of the Arts, in the Netherlands. His work always bridged and combined various disciplines, dance, theatre, music, film, performance, new media, and fashion, and through this interdisciplinary approach his work explores the new dramatic that the combination of different genres facilitate.

"The drawings that were made, are all according to traditional designs [in Haitian Vodou]. These are called 'veve'. There are lots and lots of examples online, cf. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veve Note: There are 401 spirits (but this is a mythical number and it's probably far larger). Every spirit and group of spirits has his/her/its own veve. Every Vodou congregation (a 'House') has different veve. A Manbo or Houngan (priest) should know hundreds of veve by heart and be able to make them like I did yesterday." at the Amstelkerk 2nd opening of Salon/Big Bang  _Maria van Daalen

SALON/Big Bang: Chris Kabel at the Oude Kerk
 
Chris Kabel combines an interest in hardcore science with an intuitive, artistic approach to the design
of plain objects that everybody uses in his daily life. After studying biochemistry at the University of
Amsterdam, Industrial Design at the Technical University Delft (both only for a short period), he continued at the Design Academy Eindhoven, where he graduated in 2001 in the department Man and Living.

This lamp by Chris Kabel produces light that is exactly the same as daylight on a sunny day.
Special particles in the resin diffuse the LED light in the same way as the sunlight that enters
the atmosphere. Hence the lamp is blue too, like the sky. The blue light can help in the case of
winter time depression. (photocredits: Mimi Berlin)

SALON/Big Bang: Marc Bijl at the Oude Kerk
 
'Broken 2012-19 October' is an obelisk which represents in Bijl’s version version for the
mathematical beauty of the unknown; the disruptive chaotic surface of broken mirrors and black
epoxy, which stands for the life that lies behind you.
It has, by chance, become a personal work: a tribute to the artist’s father whose funeral took
place on the day of the opening of Bijl’s exhibition, hence the date in the title.(http://www.studiomarcbijl.com/)


About: Marc Bijl (Leerdam, 7 July 1970) is a Dutch artist who lives and works in Berlin. His works are based upon social issues and their use of symbols and rules. This can result in interventions in
the public space, sculptures or installations that undermine or underline this perception of the
world.

His new media and installation work has been shown in the Istanbul Modern, Beijing Design Week,
European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrück, Fundación Telefonica in Lima, Istanbul Design Biennale, Amsterdam Museum, Pixxelpoint Festival in Slovenia, Olympus Photographry Playground, Berlin, shaded view on fashion film festival, Centre Pompidou Paris, Kasteel Keukenhof, the Netherlands, the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem, Marres, Maastricht, Salon Amsterdam, and Mediamatic, amongst many others.

About: Katja Mater (1979, Hoorn) is a graduate of Gerrit Rietveld Academie and De Ateliers. She has been nominated for the Prix de Rome, the Dutch Doc Award and the Royal Award for Painting.
Since 2009 she has been exhibiting her work in the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy,
Portugal and USA. Katja Mater's work originates from an interest in themes such as the experience of time in photography, the documentation of moments and situations with intangible characteristics, the
exploration of the limits of human perception, and the specifications of the analogue medium
of photography from a meta perspective. Mater's approach is much closer to drawing and painting and through a complex process that involves multiple negatives masks, she opposes
the uniqueness of drawing to the multiplicity of her outcomes.

SALON/Big Bang: Conny Groenewegen at the Oude Kerk

 
With a Big Bang I was born and saw the light, immediate and irreversible.
Everything that came after seemed to be slow, slower, slowest compared to the urgency of that one first moment. That moment was decisive for what was to follow and it still leads me the way through abstractions as time and space as an internal compass.
In Primary Explorers I show one black dress, a jumpsuit and a black smock with a reflective trousers that will also be figuring in a video. The designs result of a few slow processus like knitting and seamlessly connecting the parts by hand before felting them. This way of working shows in the layering of the fabric and in the final compact shape of the garments. They seem to have absorbed time and will absorb the gaze if you give it time. Then it is about absolute light and darkness in the visual language of reflection and again absorption. (connygroenewegen.com)

About: Conny Groenewegen (1973) explores the evolution of ideas at the interface of fashion, technology and design.
While being fascinated by the technical and societal implications of the industrialisation of
fashion design, her work is always a reflection of the human measure. The tension between
mechanisation and handwork, industry and artisan, is clearly observable in her designs.
Collections, selection: "Rupture", laser cut contours and incisions in abstract 3d lace patterns. Giving insight in the consequences of optimizing mechanised pattern cutting.
“Alchemy”, transformations of earthly materials like wool and silk into new elements of style and devotion. “Primary Explorers”, opening show at the Tokyo Fashion Week, spring 2013.
Mercedes-Benz Dutch Fashion Award winner —2011 Conny Groenewegen teaches ”design and fashion” at several (inter)national fashion and design institutes.

SALON/Big Bang: Desiree Hammen at the Oude Kerk

A plant a tree and me (2014)

Plants communicate with people, plants react to music, plants have feelings.

This is the essence of The Secret Life of Plants, a book by Peter Tompkins and

Christopher Bird, published in 1973. In the end, humans and plants are closely

related, so it’s not strange that they ‘communicate’ to each other. Humans seems

to be prevailing in this peculiar relationship. But if you are standing in the jungle,

between these giant plants, that you also have in your living room in a 50 cm

version, you feel super-tiny. You feel flabbergasted by the power, the charisma

and the eternity that carry within them.



About: Desirée Hammen (1976) graduated at Artez Institute of the Arts in Arnhem,

2003. In 2012 she finished her training at the famous Ecole Lesage in Paris.

Desirée is ‘master’ in haute couture embroiderie and combines classic techniques

with her free, autonomous work. Over the last years Desirée participated in

exhibitions and projects in Amsterdam, Istanbul, Shanghai, New York and Beijing.

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.
