PICTURA VLAGGENPARADE
PICTURA 250 JAAR – Vlaggenparade – Opening zaterdag 3 augustus, 16 uur
Kunstenaarsvereniging Pictura, gevestigd in een monumentaal pand in het centrum van Dordrecht bestaat dit jaar 250 jaar! Bij dit jubileumjaar wordt het hele jaar door stil gestaan met een speciaal programma van tentoonstellingen en activiteiten zowel in Pictura als bij andere culturele instellingen in Dordrecht.
Om dit jubileum te markeren benaderde Pictura 25 kunstenaars voor het ontwerpen van een kunstwerk in de vorm van een vlag. Deze vlaggen zullen te zien zijn als feestelijke vlaggenparade verticaal vanaf lijnen gespannen tussen beide zijden van de Voorstraat rond Pictura. Kunstenaars waren vrij in hun ontwerp, dus keuze voor abstractie, figuratie of tekst, het is aan hen. Het geheel te zien als kunstmanifestatie in de Voorstraat rondom Pictura vanaf begin augustus tot eind oktober.

artist in residenceproject TAO HUA TAN, CHINA
We are pleased to inform you that the international artist residency will take place in Tao Hua Tan, Anhui Province, China, from October 12 to 31, 2023. With these words, I was invited to participate in Tao Hua Tan 6th International Artists Retreat and Residency.
The residency
On October 12, I arrived at Peach Blossom Pool Arts and Holiday Riverside Resort in Tao Hua Tan, China together with over 60 artists from all over the world to participate in the project. Accommodation, workspace, materials, etc. were provided by the organization. Over the course of three weeks, the artists developed new works for the concluding exhibition Pain and Rebirth, which opened on October 30 at Hefei Kurame Art Gallery in Hefei, China.
New artworks made during the residency
The Tao Hua Tan a.i.r. project emphasizes the importance of meaningful and layered exchange and introduction to another culture, exploring connections between traditional and contemporary aspects. The beautiful river landscape where Peach Blossom Resort is located is a place of great cultural significance to China. One of the greatest Chinese classical poets, Li Bai (701-761), lived and worked as a poet in residence in Tao Hua Tan.
