You are cordially invited to the Artist Talk by Alex Hackett Thursday 11 July at 20.00 Admiraal de Ruyterweg 181 Amsterdam, doors open 19.30 Patience and the grass shall become milk The temporality of the landscape is dominant in the Netherlands, in the continual renewal and adjustment of boundaries of land and water, the tenuous relationship between salt and sweet waters and transformation of liquid and solid matter. Through text, gastronomy and sculpture, Alex Hackett examines topics including: cheese-making as domestic rebellion, stability and rooting in the dunescape, the aging of cheese, and preservation of the self. Parallels are investigated between elements of what we consider ‘natural’ landscapes, the non-human and our personal emotional states. As such, how we can recognise aspects of ourselves within the landscape and the landscape within ourselves, leading to a reconsideration of dichotomies of nature and culture.
