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.

Surfing— Sonology Master’s Students Graduation Show

This June (17th-24th), final-year Master’s students of Sonology Martin Hurych, Nils Davidse, and Kim Ho will present their installation works at See Lab, Scheveningen. Their projects have explored a wide range of topics, ranging from an alienating perspective on environmental listening, simulated music exploration in virtual space, to prepositional sonic experience with(in/out) water. Hereby we’d warmly welcome you to visit and have a good time!

*For the exhibition during June 17th-19th, the showcase will offer an aspect of submerged water listening. If you would like to experience it, please bring your own swimsuits and towels for your utmost comfort.

REMCO JONGEJAN

MARS-HABITAT
In addition to our public program See Lab frequently uses their project space for (guest) artists as a bigger working space in order to develop new work, try out new ideas or prepare upcoming exhibitions. Our current artist is See Lab artist Remco Jongejan. Remco is building a huge living module for a brand new space village/ Mars-Habitat to arise in Lunetten named New-Utreg. Remco’s work is commissioned by the Intergalactic-environmentalists for their Mars-Habitat project where they will investigate what life on a space colony will be like. 

You can drop by and take a look at the life of the Mars-o-naut, from food supplies to homesickness. And if you don't want to go back to Earth yet, the adventurous visitors get a chance to stay overnight, sleep, eat and work like an astronaut in the space village that Remco helped to build. It will start in June and last till August.

We are showing a little sneak peek of his work in progress. More information about the project can be found here: www.marsmissie.nl

(Nina)

In the poetry book 'Steeds verder van mij’ (further from me) Nina van Dijk tells a story about love, attraction and repulsion and a deep-seated longing for something that sometimes seems, or turns out to be, unreachable, Poems that are naked, raw, touching, heartwarming and full of love. The book will be presented on April 8, 2022 in the exhibition ‘jij & ik’ (you and me). The book will be published in an edition of 30, handmade and individually bound and packed with great care. Available during the exhibition and afterwards for €35 each.

………………
In de dichtbundel ‘Steeds verder van mij’ vertelt Nina van Dijk in 27 gedichten één verhaal over de liefde, aantrekken en afstoten en een diepgeworteld verlangen naar iets dat soms onbereikbaar (b)lijkt. Gedichten die naakt zijn, rauw, raak, hartverwarmend en vol liefde.

Op 8 april 2022 zal de bundel uitkomen in de tentoonstelling Jij en Ik. De bundel zal verschijnen in een oplage van 30, handgemaakt en stuk voor stuk met veel aandacht gebonden en verpakt. Tijdens de tentoonstelling en daarna verkrijgbaar voor €35,- per stuk.

In de ruimte is ook een soundscape te horen die ontwikkeld is in samenwerking met componist Merel van Hoek. De soundscape bevat fragmenten uit de dichtbundel ingesproken door de schrijver, aangevuld met het alsmaar doorgaande geluid van het alledaagse. Daarnaast worden er diverse kleine werken gepresenteerd die fragmenten uit de bundel vertalen.

(Annabelle)

In the exhibition ‘jij en ik’ (you and I) Annabelle Schatteman shows the second part of her work called 'under my spell'. The first part was shown in Kadmium Delft at the beginning of 2022 in a duo exhibition with Judith Schepers with the title 'that which grows in the dark'. 

In 'redeeming Belle' the artist takes you through her story in a hand-bound book with printed linocuts. In this she guides the viewer through a dark and alienating world in which a mystery unfolds. The mystery of Belle, which will not show itself easily, but wants to be told. The exhibition will also feature three-dimensional work that translates individual chapters from the book. 

The linoprints are available separately.
Some of the linoprints are printed on t-shirts and are for sale in limited edition for €35,-.

…………

In de expositie ‘jij & ik’ toont Annabelle Schatteman het tweede deel van het beeldverhaal ‘under my spell’. Het eerste deel was begin 2022 te zien in Kadmium Delft in een duo expositie met Judith Schepers met de titel ‘dat wat groeit in het duister’. 

In ‘redeeming Belle’ neemt de kunstenaar je mee in haar verhaal door middel van een hand gebonden boek met gedrukte linosnedes. Hierin (bege)leidt ze de kijker door een duistere en vervreemdende wereld waarin zich een mysterie ontvouwt. Het mysterie van Belle, dat zich niet zomaar laat zien maar wel degelijk verteld wil worden. 
In de exposite zal ook driedimensionaal werk te zien zijn die afzonderlijk hoofdstukken uit het boek vertalen.

De linoprints zijn apart verkrijgbaar.
Een aantal van de linoprints zijn afgedrukt op t-shirt en in beperkte oplage te koop voor €35,-.
