Venue: LUIS GOMES GARDEN, PANJIM

Time: 16:00 – 22:00

Space is the field around us. Our space may be constricted by others or by ourselves. The unique ‘birdcage’ installations, designed and built by artists Karin and Sally, prompted viewers to contemplate this idea. They were made from locally sourced material, with openings in different places.

Karin van der Molen

After graduating as a human rights lawyer in 1990, Karin van der Molen set foot on a winding path in the arts. Since the last decade, she has been increasingly focusing on environmental, site-specific art. She works with the distinctive atmosphere or the pervading spirit of a place. In her art, she searches for new perspectives on the (disturbed) relation between humans and nature, both on a global and personal level. She says: “I live in an urban, digital and globalized world. By using mainly natural materials for my work, I try to seduce myself and others to get closer to, get involved, engage or even ‘enter’ into nature.” The outcome can be an installation or sculpture in which one can enter, either physically or mentally, through an obvious or surprising opening.
