Date: 14-16 February, 2025

About:
From February 14 to 16, SeeLab hosts En par. Ch.I ——— dusk, a solo exhibition by Renata Mirón. This installation delves into the concept of duality—the coexistence of contradictions, the movement between opposites, and the equilibrium that emerges from tension and transition.

Guided by intuition and curiosity, Renata explores duality through myth revisioning, addressing the absence of nuance in gender ideology. Drawing inspiration from feminist reinterpretations of Mesoamerican and European pre-patriarchal cosmologies, she weaves seemingly unrelated narratives together in an attempt to break free from the patriarchal gaze.

Through clay sculpture and water fountains, she shapes botanical and mythological figures, their voices entwining stories of hope and ruin. En par. Ch.I ——— dusk reflects on resistance to ecocide and the rise of fascist politics, with water serving as a portal—an animate force connecting all species and their myths into a shared reality.

Renata’s ongoing research into form is deeply rooted in the methodology of repetition, a practice inherited from her background in textile production. Through repetitive gestures in clay, she continues to push the boundaries of material exploration over long durations.

About:
Are you someone from the East living now in the West? Are you someone from the West intrigued about Eastern cultures? Regardless of your background, we aspire to give you a memorable, multi-sensory experience that is a breath of fresh air in your busy life - literally and figuratively! We (a group of Taiwanese artists living in the Netherlands), like many diasporas, are continually exploring questions like “who am I becoming”, “what am I here to do”, and “where or to what do I belong”. But these questions are not unique to diasporas. Everyone at some point(s) in his/her/their life is bound to grapple with such identity questions, especially in today’s globalized world. This program is our contribution to expressing the value of heritage, connection and growth within and between peoples, between the West and the East. The program includes two parts: We begin with a guided walk outside on the beautiful grounds of Zeelab in den Haag with art installations that invite you to become curious, contemplate and make space for inspiration. After the walk, we head into the studio for a performance with cello, dance and lighting that blends western classics with eastern roots and reflects our own progress in forming our identities. It is our hope that the experience will give you abundant energy and inspiration to explore questions relevant to you and find what fulfills you.

THE THIRD PASSAGE

Title:The third passage

Solo exhibition: Annabelle Schatteman
Duration: 11.01.2024 to 11.10.2024
Opening hours: 13:00 - 17:00
Opening: 11.01.2024 - 6:00 PM
Finissage: 11.10.2024 - 6:00 PM

Curated by: Catelijne Boele

About: The solo exhibition of Annabelle Schatteman, titled ‘The Third Passage’, encompasses a personal journey through the subsequent stage of female existence – a chapter that is connected to menopause. The exhibition is an ode to the blood that is no longer present and a farewell that clears the way for the next phase of life.

Annabelle Schatteman intuitively explores the transformation of femininity and allows it to take form in an extensive landscape of sculpted flowers, shells, and mythological figures. These embody the beauty and stillness of life and motherhood, but also the fear of change and transience. With an energy that is both explosive and focused, Schatteman expresses the emotion and complexity of ageing, as well as its strength and depth. Flowers like lilies, poppies, and amaryllis bleed and wilt within her work, symbolising the wounds and pain that grow alongside saying goodbye. The sculptural still lifes paradoxically embrace the inevitable change that life brings. Schatteman makes the transition from heaviness to lightness palpable through the movement she captures in her powerful and fleeting sculptural handwriting. In her work, she seeks a new harmony with life within her restlessness, which only becomes tangible after experiencing the pain of farewell.

“The woman who is willing to make that change must become pregnant with herself, at last. She must bear herself, her third self, her old age.” – Ursula K. Le Guin

"Artist Bio: Annabelle Schatteman is a sculptor and image-maker whose artistic practice revolves around cycles, processes, and the exploration of temporality. Describing herself as an "image-making writer," she approaches each project like writing a book—an intuitive, evolving process that allows her to uncover new narratives and create multiple works, often incorporating various materials like clay, PUR foam, plaster, and bronze. Inspired by the representation of women throughout history and fascinated by the fragility of life, Schatteman’s art grapples with the frustration of impermanence. Her figurative sculptures, often feminine in form, merge storytelling with research drawn from anthropology, psychology, and mythology, crafting works that reflect on human existence and its cyclical nature. Schatteman integrates imperfections, such as cracks in the material, as part of the narrative, embracing the inevitable passage of time while striving to create lasting expressions of life’s fleeting moments.

De solotentoonstelling van Annabelle Schatteman, getiteld ‘The Third Passage’, omvat een persoonlijke reis door de derde passage van het vrouwelijke bestaan- een hoofdstuk dat verbonden is met de menopauze. De tentoonstelling is een ode aan het bloed dat er niet meer is en een afscheid dat de weg vrijmaakt voor de volgende levensfase.

Annabelle Schatteman onderzoekt op intuïtieve wijze de transformatie van vrouwelijkheid en laat het vorm aannemen in een uitgebreid landschap van geboetseerde bloemen, schelpen en mythologische figuren. Deze dragen de schoonheid en verstilling van het leven en moederschap, maar ook de angst voor verandering en vergankelijkheid. Met een energie die zowel explosief als gefocust is, vangt Schatteman de emotie en complexiteit die het ouder worden omvat, maar tevens de kracht en diepte daarvan. Bloemen zoals lelies, klaprozen en amaryllis bloeden en verwelken in haar werk. Deze symboliseren de wonden en de pijn die samengaan met het nemen van afscheid. De sculpturale stillevens omvangen op paradoxale wijze de onvermijdelijke verandering die het leven met zich meedraagt. Schatteman maakt de transitie van zwaarte naar lichtheid voelbaar door de beweging die zij vangt in haar krachtige en vluchtige werkwijze. Te midden van haar onrust zoekt zij in haar maakproces naar een nieuwe harmonie met het leven, die pas zichtbaar wordt na de pijn van het afscheid nemen te hebben ervaren.

“The woman who is willing to make that change must become pregnant with herself, at last. She must bear herself, her third self, her old age.” – Ursula K. Le Guin

About: Machine Echoes’ is the first of three group exhibitions in the ESC 2034 series curated by 0-1 Gallery. By exploring the futures of nature and technology, the exhibition covers themes such as artificial intelligence, the transformation of communication, and the future of ecological awareness. From digital phenomena to ecological sculptures, each work invites us to reflect on these evolving relationships. Additionally, each piece challenges us to rethink how we interact with our environment, offering a glimpse into the decade ahead — a conversation between nature and technology.

Established in 2020 as a digital initiative, the ESC platform has consistently pushed the boundaries of contemporary art. Each year’s theme, ‘A decade into the future,’ invites artists to imagine what the world might look like ten years from now.

Now, this exhibition marks a significant milestone for 0-1 Gallery as ESC transitions from an online format to its first physical event. After receiving over 600 submissions, 26 artists were selected to participate in the ESC 2034 series. ‘Machine Echoes’ will feature the first group, setting the stage for an exploration of our shared future.

Finally, ‘Machine Echoes’ will take place at See Lab (→) in The Hague, Netherlands, from October 19-26, providing a more immersive and impactful experience.
