Dutch Design Week 2023

Art Week Rotterdam 2022


Tijdens de Art Week Rotterdam, die volgende week plaatsvindt van donderdag 19 tot zondag 22 Mei, zijn er naast allerlei fantastische kunstwerken en events ook een aantal werken van mijn hand te zien.

Op de kunstbeurs, ART Rotterdam in de Van Nelle fabriek, zijn een aantal kleine nieuwe vazen te zien bij de Postmodern Collection. Deze werken van maximaal 23 cm hoog zijn een weerspiegeling van mijn grotere werken en lopen uiteen qua thematiek; klassiek, verhalend en abstract. Deze handgemaakte en unieke stukken zijn doelbewust scherp geprijsd, om het concept van de Postmodern Collectie te vieren en ook om nieuwe kunstliefhebbers kennis te laten maken met mijn werk. Daarnaast zijn er grotere werken en een Neon te zien in de groepstentoonstelling in het Steurgebouw. Dit is een van de offside locaties in het M4H gebied (Makers District) waar veel te doen is tijdens de Art Week Rotterdam. Hierbij van harte uitgenodigd ;)

2022 – Art Week Rotterdam, the Netherlands

2020 February Object Art fair, Contour Gallery, Rotterdam, the Netherlands

2019 Manic Patterns, Cokkie Snoei, group exhibition Rotterdam, The Netherlands

curated by: Thimo te Duits 

Nothing is more boring than more of the same thing. The theme of this group exhibition is repetition, order and creating freedom within a pattern.

Manic Patterns brings together the work of artists and designers in an exhibition with the character of an installation. Both the works themselves and the display are visually dense: an interplay between tranquillity and commotion. Manic Patterns is not about defining or uniting disciplines but rather about how makers with varying preoccupations share a passion for pattern and structure. Repetition, order and the creation of freedom play an underlying role within a pattern. Nothing is more boring than more of the same. Many of the works feature the endless repetition of parts of the motif. It is here that the ‘manic’ of the title resides. Neither the makers nor the viewers can escape this obsessive repetition.
The exhibitors have a shared interest in meticulous work, in which the grand gesture makes way for an eye for detail. ‘Less is more’ is out of the question. The exhibition features wallpapers and textiles, a new area of interest for many designers. But within the classical decorative arts there is still great interest in repeated patterns on vases and dishes. The two-dimensional works in the show exhibit a much freer approach to pattern, incorporating not only forms but also texts.
Carla Kogelman’s photographic portraits of manic-depressive patients, presented on Studio Job’s Labyrinth wallpaper, create moments of rest within the visual clamour.
