OPEN ATELIERS 2019

On the 26th and 27th of October, all 22 studios of Scheveningen’s cultural incubator See Lab were open to the public. Artists, inventors, musicians, as well as other creative entrepreneurs were present to show you around and talk about their work.
The weekend was a unique occasion to get to know the artists who use metal, paint, foam, musical scores, and other media to shape their ideas. You were invited to meet the artists who teach lessons from their studios throughout the year, and visit the seven attic studios which host graduates fresh from art school.

The 19th century building at Duinstraat 55 is a former school building though with a little imagination it could easily have been an old monastery, or even the seaside palace of the Oranjes.

In the former chapel/gym, now See Lab’s very own exhibition space, Annabelle Schatteman showed her latest work The Desired State. The installation is the first stopover on her imaginary journey which began with her previous work heading for the purple planet

THE DESIRED STATE

Solo exhibition by Annabelle Schatteman
mixed media installation with sound
19-27 October 2019
13.00 - 17.00 h

“When you are in the middle of a story it isn't a story at all, but only a confusion; a dark roaring, a blindness, like a house in a whirlwind.  It's only afterwards that it becomes anything like a story at all. When you are telling it, to yourself or to someone else.”

Margaret Atwood

The desired state is the first destination of an imaginary journey that started two years ago with an installation of mainly female sculptures, heading for the purple planet, in search of an utopian world where life can be continued
only,

sometimes the world you find is not the one you imagined…

MUSEUMNACHT - ZEEVONK

Group Exhibition ” Zeevonk” during Museumnacht
artists: Awinash Panchu, Sissel Marie Tonn, Oddkin & Jonathan Reus

On warm summer nights in Scheveningen, you can experience the magical event of swimming with Zeevonk - the algae that turns your movements in the water into fluorescent sparkles of light. For this year’s museum nacht See Lab has created an artistic program, that takes inspiration from the magic sensation of experiencing Zeevonk, which almost gives you an experience of Synesthesia . We invite you to touch sound, taste color and dip into the artistic zeevonk. The night will begin with a screening of See Lab produced video work, that each deal with time in different ways. Later on, the audience will be invited to perform with each other in two fun, interactive sound installations, and we end with a party, where you can create your own Zeevonk cocktail in our cocktail workshop, and dance to groovy tunes.

GET ``THINGS`` OFF OUR CHEST

Group exhibition Get “Things” Off Our Chests | 3rd of May from 18:00 at the See Lab’s project space.
curated by Margarita Leonenko
artists: Annabelle Schatteman, Cathleen Owens, Katerina Sidorova, Lili Berger and Yun Teng Seet

To get (something) off one's chest is an act of sharing, confessing or relieving one's mind. It is an opportunity to talk about something worrying, to let go of neglect. It is an invitation to discuss something private, to pay attention to a character or an unknown nature.

As a response to creative dialogue about art practices, the framework of the exhibition takes the studio as a subject for exploring the key roles and methods of working, and positions the artist’s body as an important element of its operations and creative labor. This group show introduces studio space as a site not only for producing, making and showing an artwork, but examines what is personally significant to a maker, an art worker, a creator, a female artist.
