Rob Voerman’s massive installations and sculptures examine issues of wealth, climate change, and poverty—and where our current behaviors may take us. Projects like “The Exchange” posit that the only way to save natural resources is to tether it to currency. See more here.

Review on #focus lab: ‘Into the Grid’: The artwork as place for discussion
“All artists are alike. They dream of doing something that’s more social, more collaborative, and more real than art.” Dan Graham.
The book Artificial Hells that is written by Claire Bishop starts with these words of Dan Graham, an interesting book on participatory art and the politics of spectatorship. In a #focus lab meeting that I organized on Saturday 28 February 2015, two of my main interests came together: the role of art in public space and the politics of spectatorship. We were heading that day towards the shopping mall Presikhaaf in Arnhem as the destination for our first #focus meeting in 2015. #focus is a bottom-up artist initiative that started in 2012, where the initiators create their own context for site specific debates.
In close collaboration with the artist Rob Voerman and curator and founder of Motel Spatie Claudia Schouten we met in Voerman’s installation ‘Into the grid’. His work is on show till the 18th of April 2015 and was subject for our meeting to research questions as: “what is the role and place for the artwork here?” and: “how does space and space related audiences connect to- and influence the actual outcome of the work?”
Here you can read my full review which was a little delayed because I had the the flu…
