Dutch
Disturbance: solo exhibition Judith van den Boom at The Future
Perfect, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Dutch Disturbance
is the title of Van den Boom's collection of ceramic products
for her graduation show at the Academy of Arts & Design
in Arnhem in Summer 2005. Dutch Disturbance is about a redefinition
of Dutch identity, and how people lose contact with their roots
in an individualistic society. Society is changing fast, becoming
more and more multi-cultural. What is being Dutch?
Van den Boom asks herself: "How do we keep our Dutch identity,
our heritage and our traditional values of life? Not by wearing
wooden shoes, eating hearing, and living in a windmill. These
clichés are no longer representing our Dutch way of living,
and maybe never did."
Opening
event: Friday, September 9, 7-10pm
Designer
statement:
This world is my home
This story is my world, this world is my home, were I make
and break my own laws. In this space reality connects with
fiction and creates new directions.
Being a designer gives me the freedom to walk over borders
and man made ideas. Design doesn’t only exist for me
in products. Design is a way of thinking and observing and
creating space of unbound concepts.
Daily life, simplicity and stories make our lives fascinating.
The small things that people seem to forget are the things
that matter to me. I set my thoughts out in the open space
and try to trigger people’s minds.
For me working as a designer I interact with the environment
around me. This connects me with many disciplines in art and
design, to perform with to share with but most of all to create
with.
Our mind creates our freedom. Now we can do anything, what
will we do?
