Short description:

‘SOLO - AN EARTHLY MEMORY’

‘She descended onto this silent Earth from the endless cosmos above. Although abandoned, this place still holds the stories of the past through the time capsules that are spread over the land. Dreams and memories are glued to the objects that these capsules contain – they speak of fragmented parts of the past and are able to initiate intrinsic, human processes. Thus, the traveller is submerged into stimulating, sensory experiences and the endlessness of her imagination. She experiences for the first time sensations such as taste, sleep and a feeling of longing for a return to the stars.’


Sjuul Joosen is intrigued in his artistry by a constant interaction between his own fantasy and the rules to which reality is subjected. A fascination for the laws of physics and maths grows in his artistic process into surrealistic stories, where the guidelines of reality are questioned and receive a new meaning in their own, transformative world. The installation of Sjuul titled SOLO – An Earthly Memory is an all-encompassing example of this; as flown from another dimension, a woman crashes into a future world in her pointy spaceship, which seems to be an alternative version of Earth itself. The installation creates a surrealistic connection between different places, timelines and sensory experiences, where objects are able to pave a way for an intrinsic and personal journey. Visitors are warmly invited to experience this installation which Sjuul has worked meticulously on for the past six years on Scheveningen beach. 


The film will loop every hour. During weekdays the exhibition can also be visited by appointment. 

Supported by: Mondriaan Fonds, Stroom Den Haag, and See Lab.

Korte beschrijving:

‘SOLO - EEN AARDSE HERINNERING’

‘Vanuit de dansende sterrenhemel daalde zij neer op een stille Aarde. Hoewel verlaten, draagt deze plek nog de verhalen van het verleden dankzij de tijdcapsules die verspreid zijn over het land. De objecten in deze capsules tonen gefragmenteerde delen van het verleden en zijn tevens in staat om intrinsieke processen in werking te stellen. De reiziger wordt zodoende ondergedompeld in prikkelende, zintuiglijke ervaringen en de eindeloosheid van haar verbeeldingskracht. Zij ervaart voor de eerste keer sensaties zoals smaak, slaap en een gevoel van verlangen voor een terugkeer naar de sterren.’

 

De installatie van Sjuul Joosen, getiteld SOLO – Een Aardse herinnering, stelt een surrealistische wereld voor waar verscheidene plekken, tijdlijnen en zintuiglijke sensaties samensmelten tot een alternatieve realiteit. 

De film zal elk heel uur opnieuw afspelen. Doordeweeks is de tentoonstelling tevens op afspraak te bezoeken.

Gerealiseerd met ondersteuning van het Mondriaan Fonds, Stroom Den Haag en See Lab.

The See Lab community was delighted to invite you to Open Studios! During those days, we invited you to explore all the different elements See Lab offered: studios, workshops, and our beautiful project space. Besides visiting our building and the different working spaces, you were able to enjoy a cup of coffee, tea, homemade snacks and live music in our bar.

A glimpse into diverse studios: Anke van den Berg

Forgotten Artworks exhibition
Additionally, there was the opportunity to view the group show 'Forgotten Artworks' in our project space, which had contributions from all See Lab members. The exhibition encapsulated a celebration of all the creative work that was left unseen in our studios - works that had been tucked away and stumbled upon after a long time.

We were happy to welcome you!

Losing its name, a river enters the sea 

A ritual + screening evening 


Artist:
Lucy Cordes Engelman

Opening:
Sunday July 24th

Doors open: 18:00 h
Start Screening: 19:00 h

Short description:
Lucy Cordes Engelman will convert See Lab into a cinema/chapel for a one-time ritual+screening in conjunction with the beginning of the solar homecoming season of Leo, ie. Deep Summer. In relation to her ongoing research, two short films will screen :

She who is close to the SALT/SEA (super 8 and DV camcorder, 27:00, sound, color)

&

The Temple of Nehalennia (super 8, 12:00, sound, color)

Thematic sensory snacks will be offered by 'bai piki', and a book of Lucy's research findings - recently compiled and printed during a residency at Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium - will also be shared.

Part of the See Lab program of 2022, this event is an opportunity for the artist to try out some alternative ways of sharing her most recent film work as well as offer some of her research process and prints from the past year.

Guest collaborator bai piki ("ga plukken") has fermented and baked things for eating in collaboration with the night's theme.

Details for participating: 
There are a limited number of spaces available for this event.  Please reserve a spot by sending an email to seelabprojectspace@gmail.com 
And don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions!

More about the evening: 
This ritual + screening at See Lab welcomes solar homecoming season of Leo, while being situated near the coastal area of Lucy's ongoing research. Her project plumbs the depths of the newly discovered drowned continent of Doggerland that is now the North Sea, an ancient timber circle affectionately called, 'Seahenge', and a Neolithic Netherlands' marine goddess, Nehalennia, whose name translates loosely between, "she who is close to the sea" and "she who is close to the salt"...  in a meditative film, Lucy draws on an Icelandic myth of the selkie mother returning to her underwater realm. The work meditates on the longing of the human child who the mother has left behind, now a sensory scientist, desperate to communicate with their mother through the exchange of gifts.

Interested in folklore that muddies the distinction between human and non-human, Lucy approaches these works-in-progress as elements of a longing for the watery origins of life -- a longing that deepens with a recognition of the ocean's mighty power over us. 

Shot in Iceland and The Netherlands, the footage carries the viewer through a body that is neither strictly land nor strictly sea.
