You are very welcome there from May 6 to June 30.
TAMTAM’s theatre performances are crossovers between theatre and visual arts. So it’s not surprising that Gérard Schiphorst and Marije van der Sande also make visual art with found objects. Object art. Often their work has a high level of theatricality. The performance has come to a standstill and goes on in the imagination of the viewer.
The beauty of the perishable, the talents of the discarded, these are not only the ingredients of the performances but also the basis of the visual work. It changes the perspective of the viewer on the worthless things, first ignored because they were lying in the gutter or hidden in the back of a barn.
The expo being installed
Studio TAMTAM in full swing: building the artworks. This is a delicate job, because we use old and weathered materials that need special care when assembling, to prevent them from falling apart and to preserve them as part of a work of art.
