– Casa WAbi 2019

Community Project

A-UN – Telesecundaria, El Venado
During three sessions with 11 students from the Venado High School, the project objective was to create a reflection on the landscape that dominates life on the coast: the sea, the plain and the low mountains, as well as the sounds and lines that are formed in each environment. The participants were invited to reflect deeply on their environment and how they can express their creativity through the creation of sculptures with natural objects that will reflect in a poetic way spaces they inhabit.
Two collective exhibitions were created: one on the beach of their community and another in the Casa Wabi studios to explore how the exhibition space influences the perception of the mounted work.
“I understood that every object has art and it’s only necessary to learn to combine and play, I’ve learned how to understand nature and how I perceive it, to communicate with nature, to see beyond life.” Pedro Ríos Barrios (14 years old)

Lives and works in Amsterdam

Roosmarijn Pallandt is an artist, photographer living in Amsterdam. She graduated at the Design Academy Cum Laude. With her research project to ‘the silent language of movement’ combining dance and real time data tracking, she won the Rene Smeets Price prize. Since then her work has taken her from the Amazon to the grasslands of Tibet and from the deserts of the middle east to the subtropical Islands of Japan. After which she has exhibited her work in various museums and galleries around the world. She was recently nominated for the Benrido Hariban Award with her most recent series Tracing Threats.
With her work she puts focus on the essential structure of place trough textile and photography. The tree behaves the same in the forest as it does in the textile. In a similar way the mind finds comfort in the distant horizon as in woven memories of here and there.
Perhaps she found a meshwork of myth and memory, distance and farness, image and imagination that connects and interweaves a parallel universe. Not of deserts, glaciers, jungle and dense forests, not of way finding or the exoticness of the other sense, but a place that is constructed by a million trillion threads that people tie together to turn space in to habitable place.
