Workshops about five senses for community centers
SENSATIONAL MIX starts 2011 with a pilot project for community centers: in ”t Kopblok’ in Rotterdam, five established artists will give workshops, each of them focusing on one of the five senses. Participating artists are: Harm Goslink Kuiper, Maki Ueda, Wapke Feenstra, Zeger Reyers and Esther Urlus.
The 20th of January the project started with a lecture by art historian Caro Verbeek and an introduction by Roland Groenenboom and Nathalie Houtermans of SENSATIONAL MIX. On the 27th of January Harm Goslink Kuiper presented the first workshop. Next in line is Maki Ueda, a specialist in olfactory art. The workshops are in Dutch, so a basic understanding of Dutch is necessary to be able to attend. More info (in Dutch) here.
The sound of garbage
Harm Goslink Kuiper is a visual artist and musician. He creates (amongst others) instruments of garbage and daily consumer goods. During the workshop he presented his work, explained why he moved from painting to producing instruments, played a song of his most recent CD and created together with the participants a snare instrument of an old wooden box one of the participants brought with her. He gave a lot of practical advise on how to create your own instrument, but most importantly showed an other way of looking ánd listening to things that seem worthless.
