The forest is a place of transformation. Nature is changing continuously, offering endless possibilities. This funnel offers a place of concentration to receive the unexpected.
Karin van der Molen, Metall, Textil

The collector’s children recited their own names and the sound waves were recorded and represented in hand blown Murano glass tubes. These are set on iron rods which prevent an old tree from collapsing; representing the youth supporting the older generation. The texture of the glass resembles the bark of the trunk; symbolizing the similarities passed down through family. With the different lights of day the unique red colour appears alive; the work changes as the glass fluctuates from flaming bright to glowing warm or fading into darkness.

The work is not only dedicated to the love between woman and man, but also of general love. Man should not be alone, he needs another half. Two figures make the circle. The circle is a symbol of perfection.

“Oto” and “Togen” have permanently been installed at Sculpture Park Billund, Denmark. My studio is at the foot of a mountain that is full of nature. I wished that there should be some spirit-like presence among the surroundings of plants, insects, bird’s voice and fresh air, the sculptures that took shape from that wish, I named them golems.

Forests, fields, rivers and the sky: nature’s most important feature is it’s openess. There are no boundaries, we can disappear in it. Even seemingly impenetrable forests or labyrinthical footpaths open their ways to us if we carefully listen to their language. Nature may feel like an impenetrable knot, a place too difficult to understand. It did to me for a long time, as I was born and raised as a city girl. The digital age only added to that feeling of alienation. But breathing the fresh air and hearing the leaves rustle, I envisioned an open knot sculpture, woven as lace with willow. It is open from the top to the bottom , letting the sky in and move through the tube to the earth.

In the south of Sweden there are still many gravehills of the bronze age and rockcarvings that may be even older. The sun was worshipped, it was depicted as the so called Sun Cross. The landscape is changed nowadays in a functional way, it can be a nature reserve or used for (industrial) farming or tourism. In many places pipelines criss cross countries to supply fuel for our energy needs. I used the graphic quality of these pipelines, popping in and out of the ground, to depict ways of human traces in the landscape. Seen from the center of the otherwise randomly installed pipes the prehistoric sign of the Sun Cross appears, as a reminder of a different view on the earth that we inhabit.

Installation invites to get deeper into a concept of layer itself. Whether it is an institutional layer, a cultural or social one. The title becomes a reference to a field of layers. It is provocative and manipulative. Practically the installation is made out of four layers: the first one- the space itself, which remained untouched( I didn't move a piece that was left in the room so the broken armchair, the electrical panel, holes in the wall appear ), second one- layer of plaster which gently covers the layer under it in a form of a playground, the third layer- the line that is made of a paint which used for marking the roads for transport and last one- the marks of visitors which in time changes depending on visitors who are leaving their traces on the white paint of floor and walls. Title stops counting those layers after the fourth one, but if we get deeper we can see many more (example - the layer of knowledge which is necessary to read the work, the layer of spacial and general sensitivity, the layer of individual experience and so on)

This is not a pipe, to paraphrase Magritte, but the sculpture suggests the existence of a pipeline across the river. Pipelines are abundant in our world and even if they disturb the landscape they are eventually accepted as a new kind of nature.

When thinking we are hardly aware of the environment, we are closed in our mindbubble. When you put your head in this coconut fibre sculpture, the world is dark, soft and lonesome.

This old villa needed to be connected to the botanical garden that encloses it. I moved the old furniture and it started to flow as a waterfall down into the garden, returning to nature.

Everything changes always, but now nature is forced to adapt to unforeseen circumstances. This 'skin' is put on a frame as the Inuit do traditionally after their bear hunt.This feathered polarbear skin raises questions about tradition versus modernity, change and loss in the natural world.

Vanitas objects are an old symbolic in the arts of the inevitability of death and the transience and vanity of earthly achievements and pleasures. This feathered skull is fixed to a transparant boat, ready to cross the waters, may also be seen as a tribute to the beauty of life.
Karin van der Molen, Naturstoffe

Fragments of china porcelain form this funnel into Yu Lei mountain, an artpiece along the historic tea trade trail. At first sight it can be read as a tribute to the ancient culture, that is still feeding our culture today. Patterns of blue and white porcelain in the sculpture tell us about yin and yang balance, values that are still able to inspire us beyond the challenges of modern life. At closer look you will find also pieces of porcelain coming from European countries. As happens in this sculpture, our cultures get closer and eventually we are influenced and inspired by one another. At the bottom of the funnel there is the drain, to let the rainwater out of the sculpture. The drain pipe also tells us to cherish our fundaments, and not let them be washed away.

A huge hollow hayball is suspended in the citypark of Kiev, offering a place to be alone and isolated in a natural surrounding. Just the smell of the grass, the feel of the hay and a view towards the sky.

This corten steel sculpture is inspired by the real existing plant Colletia Paradoxa, consisting of little airplane wings. It is a prickly plant and so are airplanes in our world, very convenient but displaying inconvenient effects on nature.

Tsunami Paradiso Canto II. Life-size silhouettes of figures fleeing from the Tsunami are cast in thin iron. These shadows are inscribed with the names of the thousands who lost their lives in the disaster. As these figures are touched by the viewer and sway in the wind, they become the runners between this world and the next. The flatness of the figures was inspired by the distinctly flat, rather than ‘fleshy’ Adam in Paradise from Massaccio’s Adam and Eve. In 2008 the first set of sculptures was realised in bronze rather than iron. The engraved text is from Dante Aligheri’s Paradise, Canto II. The full text is only visible if you read the letters written in the air between the sculptures. This specific passage links the events of the Tsunami disaster with Paradise in a more profound way. In Canto II the idealised and beloved Beatrice takes the author through Paradise.

Portico comes from an unknown planet. It was 2000 when I first produced Portico. Since then, I have been making Portico of various sizes as my lifework. I have let people “encounter” Portico in different places, such as on the top of mountains, on the beaches, and even on urban streets. Those who are pleased with Portico can get a small‐sized one. The owner would take Portico to a trip with him/her and enjoy taking photos. Seeing how they take it as a part of their life motivates me to work on producing Portico again.

"Body Architectures" is a 3 year project, composed of 5 series respectively. "Body Architectures" is born from a concern for the body. It presents questions and reflections on identity, on the meaning that society gives to my body, on what it means to have and to be, at the same time, a body. As Judtih Bulter explains "the body appears as a passive medium on which cultural meanings are inscribed". In this sense, it is recognized that the processes of incorporation fostered by culture shape the subjects of society, with the body becoming a symbolic construction. This project is consolidated as an investigation that metaphorically works the construction of the normative body from the construction of objects-prosthesis and the explorations that arise between body and object, with the purpose of developing diverse narratives that question the socio-cultural models of codification of the present. In this construction/exploration process, the body is constituted as a narrative space. The methodology itself becomes research, since multiple readings or narratives can be generated from the same object.

Bogi Nagy, Ton

Goethe schrieb: „Das Ewig-Weibliche zieht uns hinan.“ Die vorliegende Skulptur steht dieser Sentenz in nichts nach, repräsentiert sie doch als Agglomerat primärer weiblicher Geschlechtsmerkmale das Epizentrum männlicher sexueller Begierde. Doch die heteronormative Dichotomie aus „Männlich“ und „Weiblich“ erodiert im Angesicht der zeitgenössischen Sexualmoral, die bestehende Grenzen und Kategorien im Streben nach individueller Freiheit hinter sich lässt. „Everything goes“ wird zur wesentlichen Maxime ebendieses Zeitgeistes, in dem die private Selbstverwirklichung der sexuellen Identität eines der unabdingbaren Kernkriterien demokratischen Miteinanders ist. Die mehr und mehr dem Gestern anheimfallende heteronormative, patriarchalische Herrschaftsordnung gerät demnach durch die ostentative Zurschaustellung des vulgär weiblichen aus den Fugen. Subversiv hält die Skulptur dem Betrachter alles feil, wonach dem Mann gelüstet. In dieser Form hat die Weiblichkeit im Zuge ihrer bis zur Unkenntlichkeit vorangeschrittenen Reduktion und Objektivierung ihr menschliches Erscheinungsbild jedoch eingebüßt und verweist somit mahnend auf die Inhumanität des patriarchalischen Jochs, das die Frau einzig zum Zweck der männlichen sexuellen Erregung dienstbar zu machen sucht. Die schiere Weiblichkeit stellt somit die rigoroseste Kampfansage gegen das Patriarchat dar und ist ein donnerndes Plädoyer für Freiheit und Gleichheit.

Designed for Cap3000 "Bubble Forest" and "Dandelions" installations were created as a result of inspiration with delicate natural plant forms, and were executed in extremely hard and weather-resistant material — acid-resistant stainless steel. "Dandelions" is an installation directly inspired by the sophisticated design of dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) occurring in nature. The concept of this work was preceded by a meticulous analysis of the structure of dandelion seedhead, which in a somewhat simplified form was then transposed to the macro scale. As a result, the delicate floral pattern took on a completely new — half futuristic, half fairy tale — context.

Dieser verwitterte, alte Pflaumenbaum - innen an manchen Stellen schon verfault war für mich die Inspiration, ihn ganz auszuhöhlen und in einer Spirale hochzutreiben.

Ameli shows how plants are vital to our lives and to our children who are the future. From deep within the mesh figures, plants grow and blossom. In life we watch babies become adults as they mature and flourish, but in contrast, it is these oversized mesh children who watch life grow inside them. As the plants require care and attention to thrive and bloom, so our children do too.
