Natural Equilibrium

10dence platform

10dence platform - Contemporary Transitions of understanding international contemporary art exhibition with a focus on the display of artistic reflections on natural order, balance, adaptation, and the cyclic nature of things has been set up and we are ready to go public. A highly interesting exhibition developed in collaboration with an international group of artists. Natural Equilibrium - Contemporary transitions of understanding will take place from September 29 till October 20, 2024 at CC Beringen in Beringen in Belgium. How can these natural processes be visualized and explained in contemporary art? Artistic research into reaching equilibrium by responding, adjusting, and adapting to stimulus, actions or interventions is nature’s way of doing things. Nature’s single most characteristic cycle - the birth-growth-decay-death and birth again. In the end, it is all about humans and the responsibilities associated with human actions - either in applying the equilibrium principle to understand nature and harness its resources, or in conserving and sustaining the beauty of natural canvas for the future. Human behavior - actions, reactions, and associated uncertainties - is much more difficult to understand than physics of nature and its uncertainty.

Jan Radersma & Marieta Reijerkerk - Unheard silence

The work of Marieta Reijerkerk and Jan Radersma differs considerably, for example if you see Marieta's spatial diptychs and objects next to Jan's modest landscape paintings, but the affinity of their work is in content. Marieta and Jan's work can be characterized as unheard silence; that which remains after many events in their lives and memories they have of them. Both artists collect their experiences and observations, record this residue in a painting or assemblage and pass it on to the viewer without a message. Both process leaps through time and space, as it were. Ultimately, a serenity remains, an illuminating peace.

Marieta Reijerkerk explores and discovers certain places in, for example, Mexico, India and China: 'I love being physically on the road. On my explorations I see remains, for example shipwrecks on the beach or walls of houses that have suddenly become available, from which I can read what once happened there, or what was there. You are portraying a history.’ Jan Radersma travelled a lot until he was 45, including Indonesia (the former Dutch East Indies), the former ‘habitat’ of his family and himself, France and the Northern Netherlands. He now processes the landscapes from his past and the ‘imprints’ that certain people have left in his memory. Sometimes Jan combines landscapes for his paintings on various (sometimes quite thick) supports. Both work in a traditional way. Jan emphasises the careful preparation of his paintings and the making of his own paint, in which he refers emphatically to his academy years. Marieta is very particular about the right brushes and the use of materials.
