More than a thousand objects, thoughts, ideas, techniques, viewpoints and materials passed my retina during Art (in) Amsterdam. With this first post#AA11 post I’ll be a bit superficial in mentioning recurring themes, presentations and techniques.
Lightpaintings and moving paintings – actually they were respectively lightboxes or animations shown on monitors, mounted on the wall like a conventional framed piece. Sometimes very beautiful and mesmerizing like those of Eelco Brand (1, 2, 3) or plainly eyecatching like those of Davor Sanvincenti and Atladóttir & D‘Ors. Others were maybe not more than just another nice decorative lightsource, soon the be seen in rip-offs at Xenos or IKEA. (If you can’t wait, there’s always the exotic household store around the corner which sell lightbox waterfalls)
