NATURA NATURANS

March 20, 2017

Fisrt week of March the artist and philosopher Leon Ka from Barcelona visited us for The Sea Container project.

After a few days in Amsterdam, Leon Ka delighted us with "Natura Naturans" a deep philosophical creation, own of his studies and artistic work.

In The Sea Container Leon Ka has tried to outline part of the system from the philosopher, born in Amsterdam, Baruch Spinoza. In such system what is, in general sense,  is the substance (Nature Naturans), its attributes are the perceived essence of said entity, while modes are what is in something else. Extension and thought are the two knowable attributes of substance -among the infinite attributes that are- . Among the various possible conceptual taxa are attributes and modes, which are deployed once in the attribute and the immediate infinite mode: movement and rest, which implies physicality, with respect to the first; And infinite understanding, that is, that which implies some idea, with respect to the second.

PAINTER EXPLOSION

March 1, 2017

Few days ago we hosted the abstract expressionist painter Johe van Der one.

He painted this colorful intervention in our “The Sea Container” project inspired by his trips, and the calm that produces him see the nature and the sunsets, this makes him fly away, dream and escape from the crude reality.

This painting is an explosion of Johe’s feelings  with the controversy between the nature harmony and everything that the Human being create and destroy.

BIRD’S EYE VIEW by DOSJOTAS

25, October. 2019

Few weeks back we had the pleasure to host the Spanish artist Dosjotas and support one of his interventions in Amsterdam.

With this intervention entitle “Bird’s eye view”, Dosjotas illustrates us with a metaphorical jail, a reality and stinging fact:

“We live under surveillance. How Orwell predicted in his book "1984" , we live in a technological dictatorship, guarded 24 hours a day, they observe us, our conversations, the places where we go, our tastes, they can know everything about us with little effort and without our permission.

For years we live with CCTV cameras in all cities, only in China it is estimated that there are more than 200 million cameras, with facial recognition algorithms, put by governments, on streets, banks, public buildings, apartment blocks, shopping malls, cameras everywhere, connected to satellites, mobile phones and social networks or the new portable cameras integrated in glasses used by the police, capable of identifying people in front of them. They monitor everything, in schools, the attitude of the students, their level of attention; they control the workers in their posts, analyze people who walk on the street or wait for the subway.

The technological “Big Brother” who sees everything, a mass surveillance system that listens and collects data, turning the world into a 24-hour monitored scenario, "for our safety".”

SHARP by SKOUNT

7, October. 2019

Recently our friend Skount painted these big panels of 2x5 m at “Keep it Fresh projects” studio, to create this big format GIF.

Under the concept of "Sharp" he creates relations, with a symbolic value, between different objects and elements, which as he says, may have a certain relation or cohesion in a literal or metaphorical sense.

“The intellectual acuity can be the key to the knowledge, and to stuck in wisdom can be a dangerous thing”

“As well as a knife can be sharp, a dip-pen (the writing) can be also sharp… “
