Tony Cragg 'Points of View' in Museum Belvédère in Oranjewoud NL.

April - September 2021 in the museum park and in four cabinets of the museum.

In Tony Cragg's sculptures, all the forces of the constantly changing nature seem to converge. When you follow the twists, curves and recesses, the images begin to dance almost before your eyes to the rhythm of shadow and reflecting light. Sometimes the contours of faces and bodies emerge, only to disappear again in the whimsical clustering of shapes. Cragg's images are strongly inspired by natural, organic forms and movements and emphatically invite you to view them from all sides. In 'Points of View' this is possible in the park designed by Michael van Gessel around Museum Belvédère, which is owned by Staatsbosbeheer but is freely accessible. The sculptures can be optimally experienced in the open landscape and against the background of the low, rectangular museum complex.

A collaboration with Tony Cragg was a wish that came true thanks to the enthusiastic cooperation of the artist. Cragg made the selection himself and determined the exact placement of the statues in the museum park. They redefine the landscape and make visitors aware of distances, proportions and sightlines. The west wing of the museum features sculptures made of glass, wood, bronze and plastic, as well as sketches, drawings and watercolors by Tony Cragg.

The museum building is a design of architect Eerde Schippers of Inbo architects, Heerenveen.

saturday night... a lot of young people... a fashion sponsor... electro music... two photographers... a garden... some joints... open bar... too much vodka redbull... toxic situation...

I'm still alive anyway :)

What have you peeled back and discovered about yourself, lately? It's not always easy to look inside and deal with a broken heart or family squabbles. Like a tree with it's rings, or an onion's layers, we all have the past in our hearts and minds. Opening up and working through it is a lifelong journey, but ultimately, your future isn't about the past. Life is about now.

Haida

Masset, Queen Charlotte Islands, B.C.

Mid 19th century

Cedar wood

This frontal pole, or gayang, stood at the entrance to the Drum House in the Haida village of Masset on the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. This was a dwelling of the Point Town lineage led by the chief whose Haida name translates as "gambling sticks". When this photograph was taken by Richard Maynard in about 1885, only the massive frame of the large house remained standing. The original house was built of split cedar planks and had a decorative scalloped edging along the gables and corner posts. Although many frontal poles were painted, this one apparently never was.

 

The figures carved on the pole are crests which served as visuals statements of the house chief's ancestry, rights and privileges. The crests on this frontal pole are (from top to bottom): a bear on potlatch cylinders, a standing grizzly bear with extended tongue, a human figure and an eagle between the bear's legs and arms, a standing grizzly with extended tongue holding a frog, and a raven with a long beak holding a humain figure. As there are many variations on the stories associated with particular crests, we cannot be certain of the original meaning of the pole. Today, poles are once again being carved and raised by the Haida in the village of Masset.

I took a shot of the sun while I was walking in going to my routine place where I jog. It's a lovely morning btw. I'm sure I'll miss the sun when I'm back for work next week! So making use of my time while I still can... #Happiness #SerotoninBoost #VitD 02-21-15 πŸ˜ƒ #QOTD #Mornings #Positivity #PointsOfView #GoodVibes #NoteToSelf #Inspiration #Motivation #HeadsUp #LifeQuotes #LifeLessons #LifeStruggles #LifeExperiences #LiveLoveLaugh β›…οΈβ˜€οΈπŸŒžπŸŒ±πŸŒ΄πŸŒΎπŸŒΏπŸŒΊπŸŒ»πŸŒΌπŸŒΈπŸ’πŸŒΈπŸ€πŸ€πŸ€ - brittonica
