‘l’Afrique!’ is a fascinating ongoing project by Ingrid Baars inspired by the richness of African cultural heritage in all its diversity, incorporating as it does both the human and the non-human.The amalgamation of classical African cult objects with fashion and real women enables the artist to transcend the natural and constitute an outer worldly realm that feels near but that is, upon closer inspection, a bit unsettling; the aestheticism and romanticism of beauty are imbued with a deeper sense of awareness, of consciousness. Armed with an innate aesthetic compass and quintessential style she evokes a phantasmagorical universe.Baars unique style of working is a one-person endeavor from the preliminary photo-shoot to the photographic manipulation (merging photography, high-end fashion and traditional African sculpture). Her works are made entirely by her.

Why Not Ask Again / 11th Shanghai Biennale
In the Chinese philosophical system known as feng shui, literally wind and water, qi, the metaphysical force of unity, is carried and dispersed on the wind. Water brings qi to rest. In the 11th Shanghai Biennale there are many such light breezes, enhancing works that play on all the senses.

Many works create ambiances with odor, surface texture, motion, illumination or proximity, making these elements just as important as sound and vision. For example, Sun Yuan & Peng Yu’s So Far (2016) presents a whiff of mineral fuel amid two forklifts arranged face-to-face in a tug of war. They are parked close to the entrance of the Power Station of Art, the Biennale’s primary site, so that they obstruct access to the vast atrium. Three sealed eggs, composed of ceramic crocks joined by their rims, are braced in chains between the trucks. The drama implied refers to Otto von Guericke’s experiment demonstrating atmospheric pressure. This was spectacularly performed in 1654 when thirty horses attempted to separate two copper hemispheres with a vacuum inside. The current work is even more elaborate, yet by replacing the hot bodies of sixteen snorting horses with cold machines, and the plasticity of copper with vitrified material and silicone sealant, the awe of grasping the science of air pressure is dissipated. Gone too is the culture of labor that later led the Levi’s jeans brand to use a logo depicting horses pitted against the resilience of the company’s product, likely inspired by an image of the experiment. So Far is a memorial to praxis. But, today visitors cannot enter through the implied arch; they have to go around.

In the garden of Soestdijk Palace is a unique exhibition of monumental sculptures by renowned artists as, Adriaan Rees, Armando, Levi van Veluw, Marte Roling and Christian Hack. Inspired by the annual sculpture exhibition “Beyond Limits” in the gardens of Chatsworth Castle in Derbyshire.

It is substantially a continuation of what originally occurred mainly in the interior of the palace, where the interested visitor whip historical game iconografi (meaning and symbolism of the images), was take by the hand to get entertained or to learn something.

Often contain references “keys” which told about current or historical residents and users.

Adriaan Rees (1957, Amsterdam) lives and works in China and Amsterdam. Rees is famous for his large-scale projects and assignments for public space. He makes sculptures and installations in many materials such as ceramics, bronze, glass, textiles, plaster and stone. His work can be found in collections around the world. He is an artist who is not predictable, someone who always surprises with new ideas and approaches, a cosmopolitan artist. From 2000 Rees increasingly went to Asia, specifically to Japan and then to China. He is so intensely affected by these cultures so he settled in Jingdezhen and works in his own atelier/workshop, among the hundreds of porcelain workshops locally. He begins by making large pot forms that resemble urns with animal and human body parts. He starts working with other artists and works with Chinese craftsmen to get realized many of his designs. Tradition and innovation, humor and seriousness, monumentality and intimacy, vulnerable and tough, traditional and contemporary, real and fantasy, dream and reality. All this you can find in his sculptures. The dialogue between cultural traditions like Europe and Asia. He teaches in the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, the US and China, and also works as an art advisor and curator.
