Join us on Thursday November 10 at 19:00 for a dive into the work and practice of visual artist Tim Breukers.Breukers (Breda, ’85) is currently doing an Artist In Residence at Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) made possible by the Mondriaan Fund. Between September and the end of December he will experience the island and therefrom create new work. During this period he will also be closely working with the students at IBB so they can, through a hands-on fashion, learn about his work process. Tim Breukers (https://timbreukers.nl) was resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC), MMCA Seoul, CARF Kolkata and Bus Projects Melbourne.
Through sculpture, installation and collage he tries to make new meaningful connections between material, culture and myself. Important roles are played by: humor, scale, story and sculptural techniques versus DIY solutions. He is convinced that art helps to balance our lives. That our lives help art to become human and truthful.
At IBB he wants to bring his role as advisor or workshop leader closer to his sculptural practice.
The talk with start at 19:00 on November 10 2022.
Location: Gallery Alma Blou, Landhuis Habaai, Fr. Radulphusweg 4
Instituto Buena Bista
The Instituto Buena Bista, Curacao Center for Contemporary Art, IBB, started in 2006 as an artists initiative with the goal to create a solid platform for art and art education.
As an art institute that offers preparatory training for young talents, the IBB deals with all the aspects of art and art education that make a follow up to an art academy or creative schooling possible. The educational components don’t limit themselves to the students but also cover a broad area of the Curacao and Caribbean art towards the local society. The social engagement and added value of art for the society is also very present in the IBB structure. Being situated on the premises of the Capriles psychiatric clinic is not only a statement of the social engagement of the IBB but also a reflection of the concepts that IBB strives to achieve as well; collaboration, exchange and development.
The clients of the clinic participate on a regular basis together with the students in workshops and classes. This, as part of an initiative by the clinic and the IBB to make the clinic more accessible to the public and to create more insight in the psychiatric world.Projects in public spaces have become a regular activity by the IBB. In these projects the students work together with patients of the clinic, students from other schools or people from organisations that participate in these activities.
The IBB students get a special role where they have to support and guide the participants and at the same time experience responsibility towards their creations and others.
