Exhibition of the opening month #Selfie van Nieuwe Ruimte Velp

VELP – Also in April, Nieuwe Ruimte has an ‘Artist of the month’. This time it’s Welmoed Glasz.

Glasz invited Maureen Baier and Carla Louwes for this, although the ladies knew each other before the exhibition, a close-knit group was created during the making and construction of this one.

The vernissage took place on Sunday April 2 in the spacious salon above the exhibition space. A small fashion show was organized for this in which the ladies showed their own creations. Cloth clothes with their work and pictures on them. After that, there were colorful selfie cakes with, of course, a photo of the artists themselves.

Welmoed Glasz chose the Selfie theme to portray old age, to show the kind of story skin can tell, but also to overcome his own fear of “wrinkles”. Several works, printed on flags, adorned the space and even the path leading to it.

For Carla Louwes, her job is her selfie. Captivating felt works take the viewer into another world. She calls the (often time-consuming) production of these works “slow art”.

Maureen Baier uses many materials and techniques to give life to her works, works in which the human is at the center. For her, a selfie means a “look at yourself”. Because it is above all the inner person who fascinates her and who comes back in her works.
