Rotterdam-based artist Said Kinos has a strong passion for typography and other forms of visual communication. He always creates his texts using letters that are made up of fragmented color elements. Saïd has made various murals around the world and for the Slotervaart he has created a design that fits well with care. The title of the work comes from the ideas of the American priest James Keller. He was a famous person and benefactor who believed that everyone had something to “give”; you don't seem less when you let someone else shine.

Sometimes windmills in the distance suddenly seem to be moving in perfect synchrony — magic, coincidence, or something in between?“Polder” is a kinetic installation that captures these moments. Every few minutes, the work moves in perfect harmony, while light and reflection form a hypnotic rhythm.

Artist Ritsert developed”Polder” from a fascination with the huge wind farms along the coasts of the Netherlands and Germany — impressive examples of cooperation between people, technology and nature. But there is also a mixed feeling: admiration and discomfort about how these structures dominate the sea view. This tension is at the heart of the work.

A moment in time, a fraction of an ongoing series.

Set in motion by the wind, Moment creates a floating and moving dynamic game between chaos and order, balance and imbalance.

Fluent from one moment to the next.

Everything we do affects the rest of the world. Everything is interconnected and everything is in balance — or should be. The circle symbolises wholeness and connection but can also be experienced as an embrace or boundary.

By experimenting with this, images or episodes are created that, no matter how different, will always be united into a comprehensive whole.

For the sculptures in the 'Cluster' series, the Swiss artist worked entirely in three dimensions, from developing the design of the sculptures in virtual space using CAD to the precise craftsmanship with which he creates the sculptures in the real world.

During the production process, he uses the highest quality stainless steel and high-tech instruments such as laser and virtual reality to produce sculptures that are unearthly and not entirely organic.

This immersive work acts as an extension of the human body and enhances listening to the surrounding trees, birds, insects, wind and rain. In this hollow structure, a new soundscape of resonance is created by the large chamber at the top and the hidden ceramic megaphones at different heights. As a result, outside sounds are amplified and heard by visitors of various sizes.

It is a large ceramic relationship tool, based on the interdependence between man and nature. It was made by hand from a single piece of clay. The ergonomic device invites visitors to sit inside and be sheltered by the ceramic structure.

The water, symbolized by the shapes of waves and the sea cow, and the woman who symbolizes the Earth and rises out of the water.

Our connection to the sea.
