Philip Vermeulen. Chasing The Dot
The very first museum solo exhibition of the emerging artist Philip Vermeulen can be seen at Rijksmuseum Twenthe until 5 January 2025.
Hypersculptures
In his works, Vermeulen explores the foundations of human perception through movement, light, vibrations and sound. What does light do to our brains, how do we register movement, what does sound feel like, and do we actually see what we think we see? Vermeulen's space-filling installations, which he himself calls 'hypersculptures', seem to transform before the eyes of the viewer, creating a unique and enchanting experience.

Tired of following White Dots! Hiked the Peavine trail around Watson Lake. By the time we were done, I had seen my share of the dots. It's a fun trail, a bit rough at times, that follows the lake shore, down behind the dam and back up.
The inability of some critics to connect the dots doesn't make pointillism pointless.

The need to visit this particular place came to me, while i was studying the cable car railway to the Janikowo soda plant. When tracing its route going from Janikowo we first see the station, where carts were separated between Inowrocław and Janikowo, then it crosses a lake and continues through the fields towards the Bielawy quarry. There is a catch however, as the cable car railway stops some 2 kilometers before the actual quarry/cement plant. How have I not noticed this before?
But the curiosities don't stop there. Naturally the cable cars have to get their load somehow, and to my great surprise and utmost amazement - this is done with a standard railway, which runs here from the cement plant, at a length of around 2,5km. At the end, the wagons are unloaded and the load is transferred to the cable car. Crazy!
I dug deeper. As it turns out, the station is reffered to as K1 (which is why I jokingly call it Masherbrum) and I found many reports of former workers, who talked about the railway on various forums. But... no pictures from here existed! The industry enthusiasts photographed the transloading facility itself, some bus-lovers shot pictures of busses with the station and cable car, which served as a background, but seemingly no railfan has ever step foot here. That made me curious, maybe the train doesn't run in the end? Checking areal photos from the place out of 3 different sources I found around 20 shots taken across the span of the past 15 years. Only around half of them had any traffic on this station, maybe that was why, maybe this doesn't run very often...
Nevertheless, me and a friend of mine from the region embarked on a journey. We came in the morning and... there it was, a train was just unloading on the station! Our excitement was short-lived though, as our car's tire had burst before we even reached it, which stopped us significantly. But no matter. It turns out that the train had been here for the rest of the day. It looks as if they only unloaded one wagon each hour (or even fewer). I think the train comes here only every 2 days and stays here for unloading.
To connect all the dots, as in the title, I need to add on another bit of information, which was also very interesting to me. The reports of workers, which I had mentioned earlier talk about EL2 locomotives being used to bring the cargo wagons here. Sure enough, one of the former catenary pylons is hiding just behind the locomotive on this picture, as the train is leaving K1 towards the quarry, headed by SM42-2083. Some of the pylons even retained their original designations and each one of them is marked with the designation "K1". I think this is the first picture published on the internet, which features this place and a train.
One last thing are the wagons. They are only used on this line and they are made up of the type 41W, which were manufactured in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski (1952-1959) and Wrocław (1960-1964). The factories each had their own little details on carriages and this helped me determine that both the producers supplied the wagons to this industrial railway. My rough estimate is that the plant currently has around 100 such wagons in use, and they only are used for internal transports to K1.
I hope you enjoyed the trillogy about Wapienno's internal railways.

Taken for Smile on Saturdays: Time pieces
This is my teenage son's clock. He used to have an "old fashioned" alarm clock (with the digital red numbers) but it wouldn't keep the time properly. He recently purchased this Echo Dot from Amazon and I have to say it is a pretty cool little gadget. Yes, it does "listen" to you but I don't have anything I need to "hide" from the government! LOL! Ask it anything and it will answer you. You just have to say "Alexa, what is the temperature outside today?" Or "Alexa, play 80's music" and it will do what you say. I taught my kid something new and he thinks its funny..."Alexa, fart!" and it really will make the farting sound! No, I never grew up...LOL! When it comes to this image I wished I had asked Alexa to do something, then the bottom of the device would have lit up bright blue...oh well....Happy Smile on Saturday to all!!
Thanks for your visit, comments and favs!
