Marnix Postma

FOR OUR BIANNUAL OPEN STUDIOS DAY I CONSTRUCTED AN INSTALLATION AS A TESTCASE FOR UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS IN 2020:

* 1 – 14 MAY, NEW NOW ART SPACE, FRANKFURT.
* 21 – 24 MAY, THIS ART FAIR, AMSTERDAM.
* 19 – 21 JUNE, DE BOUWPUT, AMSTERDAM.
* 1 – 30 JULY, EASTSIDE INTERNATIONAL, LOS ANGELES.
(ALL OF THESE WERE CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19).

BY MAKING USE OF JOSEF ALBERS’ COLOR THEORY, SUBTRACTIVE MIXTURE FROM HIS BOOK “INTERACTION OF COLOR”, AN OPTICAL ILLUSION IS CREATED. BY USING OPAQUE COLORS OF A SIMILAR TINT, AN ILLUSION OF TRANSPARENCY IS CREATED. THE COMPOSITION AND USE OF ACTUAL DEPTH ADD TO A CERTAIN ‘MOVEMENT’ IN THE INSTALLATION.
