Branching Fields by Esther de Graaf
@ Groninger Museum – Coop Himmelb(l)au Pavilion
Young Grunn Artist
After
years of short coaching residencies with substantive
support NP3
started in 2011 the one-year development
coaching
program for young talented artists of Groningen:
Young Grunn Artist (YGA). The
YGA trajectory is an
extension
to the current work practice of the artist, with
all
the necessary support on content, business and
promotion
to professionalize, to obtain the personal artistic
aims
and the opportunity to gain the necessary connection
to
the (inter)national art world. Next to individual coaching,
the
artists receive a personal work and development budget
to
create new work or hire expertise, to network with art
professionals,
take part in a short international exchange
program,
or make a short working trip to an artistic and
cultural
metropolis.
YGA II
In
the second edition, YGA II, NP3
and the
Groninger
Museum decided to collaborate in the
long-term
development program for young
talented
artists of Groningen. Together they
search
for the artist who is ready for the next
step
in his/her career, an exhibition in the
Groninger
Museum! From over 40 submissions three
artists
were selected for the YGA II trajectory:
Esther
de Graaf, Berndnaut Smilde and Adri Schokker.
In
May 2014 NP3 and the Groninger Museum
announced
the winner of Young Grunn Artist II:
Esther de Graaf.
Branching Fields – Esther de Graaf
De
Graaf makes extremely vulnerable, fragile and
temporary
sculptures out of cheap everyday materials
such
as cardboard, wire, tape and cellophane, which
she
transforms into extraordinary constructions that
evoke
an almost physical empathy. On the occasion
of
this exhibition, De Graaf created works of art in
response
to the interior of the Coop Himmelb(l)au
Pavilion.
