Throughout the month of April, artist Tinca Veerman presents the work ‘We Are Passengers’ in the passage at De Hallen. Five large-scale collage paintings, which hang high above the visitors. With the work, Veerman wants to make us aware of our position as ‘passengers’ in the world.

How do you relate to the world around you? That is the key question behind the work ‘We Are Passengers’ by Tinca Veerman. Especially for this exhibition, she made five double-sided collage paintings on semi-transparent pattern paper. The title refers to our role as ‘passengers’ in the world. We move through the world every day and see it in all its beauty and depravity. Veerman responds to what she sees by making colourful ‘landscapes’ full of contrasts and ambiguity. Visitors of De Hallen can recognize natural and unnatural elements in the works, darkness and tenderness. In passing, a narrative takes shape which reflects our condition as passenger in the world.

Music by Kramer

Producer and musician Kramer composed two pieces of music for ‘We Are Passengers’. Kramer is known for a.o. Gong and played with Butthole Surfers, Ween and Half Japanese and founder of the record label Shimmy-Disc. His cyclical compositions ‘Arriving' and 'Departing' translate the theme of the passenger, the constant coming and going in our lives and the accumulation of impressions that this entails.

Expo: We Are Passengers – Tinca Veerman

Lynnette, the artist of this month’s exhibit in the passage, welcomes visitors to her world of creativity. Her work is known for experimenting with various forms and materials, including even items she finds on the street, such as chicken wire and canvas canvases. Egg cartons are an unexpected element in many of her creations, where she transforms them into papier-mâché. Her goal is to distinguish herself from conventional artwork by taking a more multidimensional approach.

For Lynnette, making art has become not only a passion, but also a crucial way to escape from her thoughts and lose herself in the creative process. She invites the public to come see her work and participate in her artistic journey. For any questions, she can be reached at @lylymaakt or lzvanderhorst@gmail.com.

Market and thrifting

Van ruilen komt… een supergezellige recycle-markt voor alle leeftijden! Neem je spullen mee en kies iets anders uit.

We ruilen: boeken, kleding voor volwassenen en kinderen, speelgoed, kunst, interieur-items, planten, zaden & stekjes en energiebesparend & isolatie-materiaal.

Meerdere bewoners en organisaties in Oud-West die zich inzetten voor duurzaamheid bundelen hun krachten en organiseren samen dit tweede Grote Ruilfestival De Hallen.
Naast ruilen kun je ook je kapotte kleding of elektronische apparaten door het Repair Café laten repareren. Je kunt meedoen aan allerlei creatieve workshops voor jong en oud, je kunt je laten schminken en er zijn live muziekoptredens!

Het ruilen werkt zo: je brengt je (in goede staat verkerende) voorwerp mee, in één van de bovengenoemde categorieën en zoekt wat anders uit binnen dezelfde categorie. Kleding ruil je voor kleding, boeken voor boeken, enzovoorts.

Alvast een greep uit het workshop-aanbod:

Kleding Upcyclen
Kaarsen maken
Bloemkoekjes maken

Kom een neem iets leuks mee naar huis, maak nieuwe contacten en draag bij aan een duurzaam Oud-West!
