with artist Thomas Swinkels
(Curated by Julia Fidder and Myriam Gras)

UIT ZICHT – the artist as tourist curators Julia Fidder and Myriam Gras invite artists Lennart Creutzburg and Thomas Swinkels to temporarily return to their former hometown of Tilburg from abroad. The exhibition will show work resulting from a working period at Kunstpodium-T and recent works created in various locations in Europe. A subsequent publication reflects on the role of the artist as tourist within the itinerant existence of contemporary making.

Papaver Pollution became the sculptural installation made from synthetic materials, an integrated screen and light manipulation through colored filters. A micro-display inside the sculpture showed moving images of endoscopic recordings of the interior of the body, while colored filters on the windows manipulated the light and created an reversed echo-chamber. The work was created during a residency at Kunstpodium-T, as part of a duo-exhibition with Thomas Swinkels, curated by Julia Fidder and Myriam Gras. The papaver plant from the garden of Kunstpodium-T served as the visual form of departure.
