online curated 5: Curves and circles: Simone Albers, Mariska de Groot, Sibylle Eimermacher, Theo Kuijpers, and Eddy Stikkelorum Simone Albers’s inspiration is the natural world from virus to firmament, round structures in her work seem to embrace a precious entity. Mariska de Groot’s Nibiru swirling lines on glass plates derive from her own movements during the Nibiru performance. The round steel artworks made by Sibylle Eimermacher have inclusions of amethyst, calcite and agate, appreciated as ‘protective’ stones. In his paintings of ‘Songs’, which are inspired by his visits to Australia, Theo Kuijpers captures a general essence that combines nature and religion. Inge Reisbermans’s ‘still’ from the floorstream video made in the old ‘Meelfabriek’ (flour mill) in Leiden shows mildly foaming ferment, essential for the making of ‘our daily bread'. Eddy Stikkelorum’s curved wooden loops create physical forms that enclose immaterial voids. Photo: Eddy Stikkelorum: Frozen Intervention
