Lotte Wieringa

#Fellowship
Visual artist Lotte Wieringa investigates in her project Deframing the Painting Frame how she can literally pull the traditional picture frame out of its historical context by experimenting with other possible forms. The project will be a large form experiment, the outcome of which is still unknown. The old picture frames and works of art from the Boijmans collection are the common thread in this research.

Lotte's aim is to investigate the picture frame as a medium for communication with the viewer, how can the frame stretch the visual narrative? In doing so, she explores a new 'language' within her artistic practice. The frame is examined as the link between the painting and the space in which the painting is presented and viewed. Lotte uses modern tools to make the new frames. With a 3D printer and digital drawing programs, Lotte brings the manual labor of someone who lived many centuries ago back to life.

Gemma Medina Estupiñán and Alessandra Saviotti

#Fellowship
Gemma Medina Estupiñán and Alessandra Saviotti from Arte Útil are curious to know what it feels like to give/receive something. This could be a gift, but also time or asking someone to help you with something you can't do. Gemma and Alessandra have been working together since 2012 and are interested in other forms of learning and working together. One part of their work relates to the archive of Arte Útil which is available here, and was set up by the artist Tania Bruguera on the occasion of her exhibition 'The museum of Arte Útil' (2012) at the Van Abbemuseum. Now they are also looking in de Hillevliet for ways in which we can be meaningful to one another.

This program is part of the collaboration between RASL (Rotterdam Arts and Sciences Lab) and Zuid. Boijmans Van Beuningen. This will come together in a Summer Studio in July 2023, Supporting Structures: Re-Imagining Ways to Wellbeing Through the Arts and Sciences.

Latisha Sparks

#Commission
In summer 2022 we held an open call for a commission for Zuid. Boijmans Van Beuningen. Looking for talented artists who engage with art from a socio-cultural perspective, to give them a space to create and experiment. From over 50 submissions we can share the final selection: Latisha Sparks!
Latisha will soon present her project Many and The Same. For this project she’s working together with Raz van Isac and Zuzanna Klimkiewicz. The trio is looking forward to welcome you at Zuid. Book a free timeslot to participate via www.manyandthesame.com.

Thanks to Mondriaan Fonds for the support of the commission.

Pris Roos

#Commission
Pris Roos is an artist, curator, researcher and storyteller. The toko is a great source of inspiration for her: a place of meeting, colours, smells, food, stories and a mix of people from different backgrounds. In her work she reflects on themes such as identity, migration and memory.

For her new project Hoffie, Pris investigates how different values ​​of the toko can be translated into the spaces of Zuid. Boijmans. She invites makers and artists to think about this. Together they will portray various local residents and work on a public children's library with books that everyone can identify with. The door is open to anyone who wants to participate.

Alona van Rosmalen

#Fellowship
During her fellowship, Alona explores the role and position of mothers in the art world, especially women of color.

Alona: "I’m taking a deep dive into the institution that is Motherhood and the practice of mothering. Motherhood as a  social construct, either idealizes mothers or marginalizes women of color through class and race. I’m asking myself in this research how art and/or artistic practices can serve and have meaning in the lives of mothers.”
