“Orchestrating Coincidence” Liza Wolters / Hilde Onis
Orchestrating Coincidence is a project by Hilde Onis and Liza Wolters; an edition of 30 unique sculptures consisting of 26 individuals, 2 duos and 5 artist's proof.
The thirty unique sculptures are accompanied by a publication that plays with character assignment. The printed leporello catalog comprehensively touches on what it means to collect and to be one part of a whole.
With Orchestrating Coincidence, Hilde Onis and Liza Wolters examine the representation of the space in between, resulting in a series of 30 sculptures that defy all expectations by seeking connection at their breaking point. By developing a method that aims to limit, but at the same time provokes unhappiness, the individual objects of the series have a say in controlling their own contours.
In addition to the catalogue, the series follows on from an essay written in sync with its production. Built by and around various artists and thinkers who take erosion, fragility, in-between space and the 'failure' of objects in their original function as a starting point, the text examines the content that emerges from in-between space and absent material.

Now that energy prices are skyrocketing and everyone is worried about the cold in their homes this coming winter, it is high time to focus on a warm solution: “The Great Sweater Show”. Loes' Sweaters have traveled all over the world since 2012; from São Paulo to Tokyo, where Queen Maxima also bought two sweaters.
How it all started:
Loes Veenstra, born in 1933 and died in 2017, lived in Charlois, in the 2ndth Carnissestraat in Rotterdam South. In 2012, Museum Rotterdam was looking for stories from people from the neighborhood and came across Loes Veenstra, who had been knitting all day. “When I knit I don't smoke so much” was her motto. In her house, artists Nicole Driessens and Ivo van den Baar went looking for the sweaters she had knitted since 1955. More than six hundred sweaters were found. A book was published “The collected knitting of Loes Veenstra”, designed by Christien Meindertsma with photos of all the sweaters, made by Roel van Tour and Mathijs Labadie. The flash mob “Sweaters from Loes”, filmed by Roel van Tour, with more than 500 residents from the neighborhood wearing the sweaters, went viral with more than 150,000 likes. The video can still be viewed via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pul1Ja8gWBg
In 2012, Museum Rotterdam asked artists Nicole Driessens and Ivo van den Baar of WANDSCHAPPEN from Charlois to develop a project around Loes Veenstra's collection of sweaters. Loes didn't just save sweaters, she saved everything, turning her house into an endless pile of stuff. WANDSCHAPPEN further developed the project with designer Christien Meindertsma and filmmaker Roel van Tour on behalf of the Kunstimplantaat Foundation.
This was followed by an auction and exhibition at DROOG Design in Amsterdam and in the KUNSTHAL Rotterdam. There was an exhibition at the NAI during OBJECT Rotterdam, visited by Jean Paul Gaultier. The project won the Dutch Design Award during the Dutch Design Week in the Van Abbe Museum Eindhoven. An international Social Design Exhibition followed in Tokyo at 21_21 Design in the Issey Miyake museum and finally part of the collection was on display at the São Paolo Design Biennale. With the proceeds from the sale of sweaters, Loes was able to furnish her new house.
Now, after ten years, Nicole Driessens and Ivo van den Baar will conclude the project in Nieuw Charlois, the platform for Art and Design in Oud Charlois. The last opportunity for enthusiasts to buy one of the last 100 sweaters and 100 books during the fashion show on Saturday, November 5 from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM and sales exhibition from November 9 to 26.
“From green to blue to gray to black” Patrícia Pinheiro de Sousa
Presentation: sun. October 30, 2022 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM
This afternoon Patrícia Pinheiro de Sousa presents her video film “Subnautica” (HD 7 min.) and the puclication “From Green to Blue to Gray to Black“.
“Find – engine” with the artists Marie Claire Gellings, Float and Jeroen Arians
Opening: Sat. September 17, 2022 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Rotterdam is alive and produces waste and material that appears and disappears on the streets.
Marie Claire Gellings, Float and Jeroen Arians see this material as elements of images that do not yet exist. At that moment the artists start a process of collecting, making choices, transforming, composing and finally presenting, as between September 17 and October 22 in Nieuw Charlois.
So much for the similarity in the work of the three artists and the original reason why they were brought together in this exhibition. Their personal work distinguishes itself in three forms: Marie Claire Gelling makes image collages, Float kinetic, spatial objects and Jeroen Arians photographic still lifes. They are carefully composed images, the application of which leads to the discovery of completely new worlds.
Marie Claire Gellings uses found visual elements to create collages as spatial representations. Sometimes the images remain recognizable and new versions of our daily (everyday) image reality arise, sometimes they disappear completely and are only a reason.
The kinetic images of Float reveal very slowly and with a certain smile the world of the inventor of images that demand attention, because they show with a certain sense of romance the presence of stories in the materials.
Jeroen Arians' photos are still lifes in the extreme. The enchanting light changes the composition from waste to stars on a stage.
We would like to invite you to attend the opening of this exhibition on Saturday, September 17.
Ruud Goedhart: Shop around
Opening: Sat. June 4, 2022 at 5:00 PM with a short word from Jeroen Jongeleen and Dinant Christe
Stuff, everyday things that do not immediately scream for attention, but are seemingly carelessly present, these are the subjects of Ruud Goedhart. He paints them, as it were, and then lets them 'shine' or places them back in their original place. At the same time he tests painting on abstraction and figuration and on the boundaries of painting and object. Ruud prefers to work with tempera, decor and wall paint, charcoal and pencil on unprepared linen and he only uses color if it is functional and it fits within the concept. The works are created in series of the same subject after which he isolates, merges or combines them. incorporated into a 'painting installation', such as now in the exhibition in Nieuw Charlois: 'Shop Around'
Come by and be amazed by this explosion of paintings. Everything is for sale!
