Hoe beeldden kunstenaars door de eeuwen heen het Friese boerenleven en het platteland af op doek en papier? In dit boek zijn kunstwerken van het Friese plattelandsleven samengebracht, waarin de boer, het landschap, de dieren en de bedrijfsgebouwen belicht worden. Al die werken samen laten een enorme afwisseling in kunstuitingen zien: van realistisch, figuratief, impressionistisch, expressionistisch, fijnschilderwerk en naïeve kunst tot abstract. Qua techniek is er eveneens een grote variatie...

The book reflects the results of the empirical study Auch worked on for the past decade about the importance of creating with your hands in our digital age and the effects of slow creation on neuro cognitive learning, health, and well-being.

The detailed images of a collection of 100+ stitched brains created by participants and their personal comments illustrate the infl...

Visual artist Diana Scherer is one of the pioneers in biotech art. At the core of her botanical installations and textiles lies a great curiosity about what neurobiologists call ‘the brain of plants’. Scherer studies plants and root systems and applies the intelligence of plants in her work. She employs a unique technique with which, using natural growth processes, she creates mesmerising and seemingly fragile tissues of plant roots with various structures. Scherer’s work is thought-pro...

"Wat maakt een mens dan de mensen rondom zich?

Toen ik aan het begin van dit project doorheen mijn archief bladerde, werd mij duidelijk dat ik de onderneming onderschat had. Als beeldend kunstenaar kijk ik naar mijn tekeningen als "dingen", voorwerpen die ik stuntelig uitstrooi op papier. Al te vaak kijk ik eerst naar mijn fouten in plaats van tevreden te zijn over de persoonlijke successen. Deze frustratie zorgt er dan wel weer voor dat ik steeds opnieuw probeer, en na jaren wordt me duideli...
