In 1993, The Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Design and Architecture (Fonds BKVB) exhibited a selection from its first five years (1988-1992), under the title De Kracht van Heden (The Power of Now).
For the exhibition The Dutch Identity? The Power of Now Museum De Paviljoens made a new selection of artists, designers and architects who where among the first to receive a grant for research, new work, travel or exhibitions in the period between 1988 and 1992. This group now belongs to the top of contemporary culture. Museum De Paviljoens paired this selection with a choice from the last five years of the Fonds BKVB.
The WSC project is exhibited during the exhibition “The Dutch Identity” until march 04.
About
The WSC Scarves turn demographic data into a visual language, and then into fashion.
Each of the 231 scarves is unique because each country generates its own data. The scarves reveal relationships, histories, and patterns of populations; they tell stories that you can fold, twist, drape, hang, or wear; stories to contemplate, discuss, or retell.
Available for every country in the world.
I create the conditions for these layers of information to interact visually. The beauty, for me, lies in the surprises — the unexpected ways in which these shapes and colors come together.
