Oranges in Fulda

Splendid grandeur! Baroque palatial rooms with giant chandeliers, stories of kings and queens, princes and princesses, royal tableware, regal jewels, it all appeals to the imagination.

In the German city of Fulda this is all on display during the summer of 2022 in a spectacular summer exhibition revolving around the Orange-Nassau dynasty.

The Chinese European Art Centre

Rolling Snowball 14, Xiamen
Xiamen Powerlong Art Center, China
April 30th to June 11th 2022.
Group exhibition.

In celebration of Sino-Dutch artistic and cultural exchange, the Chinese European Art
Centre (CEAC) will present 35 artists from China and the Netherlands.
Marjan Laaper (Rotterdam, 1971), shows two works from the series: “Longing for paradise”
at the Xiamen Powerlong Art Center in China. The video-installation: “A sense of wonder” and
the video-installation: “Encounter”, in which animals play the leading part. The videos are filmed
from 1 point of view and show “congealed time”; ephemeral moments are stretched into an
everlasting “state of being”. The animals in the video-installations have become metaphors and symbols.
The exhibition is hosted by the Xiamen Powerlong Art Center and the
Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Guangzhou.

Xiamen Powerlong Art Center is located in the Roof Garden of Powerlong One Mall, Jinshan
Road, Siming District, in the east of Xiamen Island, the coast of the East China Sea.

open Wed – Sun 11.00 – 17.00

official opening 6 Feb 15.00
For sculptor Caroline Coolen (Bree, Belgium, 1975), the use of collage, montage, assemblage, and free association is a way to get a grip on reality. Her aim is to transform the outside world – or Umwelt, as she calls it – and to compress it into a single overall impression: sensitive and sensory like a plant, instinctive and intuitive like an animal, and rational and irrational like a person.

Her work is multisensory in nature: she connects the visual and the tactile with a range of textures and materials. She often presents her sculptures and large drawings as total installations. Some works, left unfinished for years, suddenly spring to completion after she adds new, complementary components.

Caroline Coolen is exhibiting works at Club Solo that are the result of her travels, such as Chum (2016), which combines an outdoor sculpture with a nomadic tent.

TRACES PROJECT

Alexandra Roozen’s TRACES project includes a short video (https://vimeo.com/656516361) and a series of 48 machine drawings (launch in 2022). An unconventional drawing technique mastered through experimentation. With the focus on rotation and sound, as well as the mechanical force versus taming the line into a shape.
The design of the drawings is based on two scores that composer Willem Boogman wrote about the work of Alexandra Roozen (the Plain Dust and Seen by Hand series), performed by the renowned Ives Ensemble in Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ in Amsterdam.
The TRACES project is made possible thanks to filmmaker Inouschka de Nooijer, Center for Visual Arts Rotterdam and Stichting Droom en Daad.
