‘Iridescence’ – Festival of Choices 2014

26 juni – 7 september 2014

Kunstenaar: Joyce Vlaming.

‘Iridescence’ was onderdeel van ‘A Festival of Choices’ graduation show van het Sandberg Instituut. Felle kleuren werden in het verleden uit de koloniën geïmporteerd en worden sinds de opkomst van de massaconsumptie ingezet om producten aan de man te brengen. Joyce Vlaming omarmt deze kleurrijke wereld in haar werk en onderzoekt de verschillende betekenissen die aan kleuren worden toegedicht.

Vlaming: “The works involved in ‘Iridescence’ question modes of representation in relation to colour. They explore underlying layers of history and connections between the past and the present. This field of visible and invisible enticements can also be seen as a political ground. Colour, which is often seen as feminine, exotic, and non-rational, plays not only an important role in branding commercial goods. Ideas on colour also influences our everyday social behavior.”
