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.
