The new theme for the next edition of ARCHITECT@WORK Kortrijk (Thursday 11 and Friday 12 May 2023) is set. After careful consideration with the committee, the next Belgian edition of the event will run under the header 'Super Skin'.

Super Skin is a theme that contains multiple facets. Of course, one immediately thinks of the outer skin of buildings, but the theme goes much further than this. For instance, Super Skin is not just something that only applies outside, numerous interior finishes can also have a Super Skin finishing.

This theme is about using nothing but high-quality, innovative and sustainable materials, systems and processes that meet the highest demands of architects and designers. By Super Skin, you think of anything that is outstanding, offers extreme resistance, boasts super-insulating properties, exhibits tremendous flexibility, and so on.... And, of course, Super Skin embraces all possible new technologies that can meet the ever-increasing expectations, whether in the construction itself, in spatial planning or in product design.

Art The Hague, the quirky contemporary art fair, will surprise art lovers as well as collectors in 2022 with works by international top artists. With a strong selection of 46 galleries the regular ‘line up’ of Art of The Hague is also worthwhile.

For this exhibition, Esser developed a formation of vertical, handcrafted sculptures. Each one of them is a record of the process of making, captured in vertical form. The sculptures consist of a ceramic cell structure with electronic elements. A subtle play of light and sound plays through and around the whimsical shapes, interacting with each other and its spectators. In developing this work, Esser was inspired by ‘The Witte Wieven’: folklore stories about paranormal activity around Lower Saxon burial mounds. ‘Witte Wieven’ were regarded as wise women who guarded the burial mounds and were believed to be seen dancing in the mist. These burial mounds were animated by the spirits of these wise women. Unlike the monotheistic belief systems in which the world of mind and body are separated, the animists believed that the spirits manifested in the physical world and hid in objects. Esser plays with the analogy of the animated object through electronic processes that take place in the sculptures. In a literal sense, Tomorrow’s Harvest can therefore be interpreted as an altar to these electronic processes to which we are exposed on a daily basis.

The New Current returns to one of the biggest art events in the Netherlands: Art Rotterdam Week. During the exhibition, upcoming artists explore the (un)real world between humans and technology. In a 2000m2 indoor parking garage the exhibition shows large scale video and installation works. The show and can be visited from 4-9 February 2020 in the Spaanse Kubus.

During Art Week Rotterdam, The New Current offers a platform to Dutch artists at the start of their career. This will take place in the former indoor garage at the Spaanse Kubus, close to the Van Nelle Fabriek.
