Momentum/Full, This Artfair, Amsterdam,2017
|
|
'Momentum/full' is a process in transparency. It questions the origin of the work itself as well as its direct influences and resonances. The work unfolds physically in a performance that aimed towards an urgency of looking. 'In the real', during ThisArtfair, the performance developed in 3 stages from Wednesday the 27th of December till Friday the 29th of December. On Wednesday acrylic paint has been poured on the floor of the Keurzaal/Beurs van Berlage (Amsterdam). Between Wednesday and Saturday the paint transformed in consistency. On Saturday the paint has been cleaned until no trace was left. 'In the virtual', the process of Momentum/full has been made visible through an online research catalogue which you can access by clicking on this link |

De Aanschouw, Rotterdam, 2017
|
'De Aanschouw' sticks as a parasite to a public place; café De Schouw, Witte de Withstraat, Rotterdam. Since 2001 every Thursday evening around 9.00 pm a change takes place, in which artists in turn exhibit one work. From various creative disciplines they give substance to the meaning that the display window has for them. The fact that this public space is adjacent to a public place is more than a nice extra. After all; an important element was, is and remains the act of gathering. |

|
|
Between imaginary numbers infinite variables of materials and colors are connecting. A view in continuous motion within a timeframe. What is placed in the correct context gives light. With the context something gets a value and correlates What is visible, is the tip of the iceberg. A continuous installation was exhibited in Fontrodona art space The artists Lieselotte Fontrodona and Marjolijn Rijks developed the space into an algorithm of reflections and potential paradoxes. For this installation, they went looking for that what is below the horizon of the iceberg, namely: reflections, values, numbers, proportions. |

'A Handful of Mountains', Graduation show, Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam 2016
|
|
I make pictures and sculptures in accordance to the things I see, what I perceive in my direct visual surroundings and in the studio. This can be derived from a postcard to a movie scene, to spilled paint on the ground. I find a visual excitement in what I see and want to convey in the productions of forms, materials and images a sensation of immediacy and joy. A perceptual chaos of balanced visual impulses and a palpable directness of making. - Marjolijn Rijks - |
Solo show 'What we have lost' Bookstore space, Amsterdam 2015
|
|
'There is a constant wind in the rooms downstairs, everything disappears. Disturbances, the white haired lady feeding the cats will be forgotten. The dust, the new, always newer, always better, will still be forgotten. Red, black, blue and acid green. There is no me, but stories that dislocate. Future is forgotten, past registered. There is no country here.' - Marjolijn Rijks - |
