monique in hellendoorn
I have been asked to make an installation for a two-year project titled "Moving and Landing" in (and around) the House of Culture and Administration in Nijverdal, district of Hellendoorn (the Netherlands). On this weblog, I'm writing about this project in Dutch (which is the language spoken in the district of Hellendoorn).
Walking – Vanessa Grasse
The website "https://vanessagrasse.wordpress.com" serves as an online portfolio and blog for Vanessa Grasse, an artist and cultural geographer. The site features a comprehensive overview of her artistic projects, which often explore themes related to place, memory, and identity through various mediums including drawing, printmaking, and installation. It also provides detailed accounts of her research interests in cultural geography, emphasizing the relationship between landscape and human experience. Additionally, the site includes sections dedicated to recent exhibitions, academic publications, and collaborative projects. Visitors can find visual examples of Grasse’s work alongside descriptions that contextualize her practice within broader cultural and geographic frameworks. The blog component offers insights into ongoing research and reflections on art and geography, making the site a resource for those interested in walking art and the spatial dimensions of cultural expression.

Rika Krithara is a visual artist born in Athens, Greece. Her work includes video installations, sculpture and photography. Field work in remote mountain locations has been an integral part of her creative process. The artist is in awe before the mountains, which are her creative obsession. In her 2002 work for the Averoff Museum exhibition, she produced a large scale installation titled Ravine, a double projection on two screens forming a narrow, claustrophobic passage with rapid projection of rocky mountain walls and water. In Ravine, the arrival at the passage reach the symbolic difficulty of the passing from one world to another.

A Sound Walk and Installation on the Western Breakwater, Granton Harbour, Edinburgh, Scotland.
You can locate this soundwalk and installation by taking the West Harbour Road, and turning onto Chestnut Street. There is a ‘Private’ sign. Turn left onto Hesperus Crossway, and go to the very end of the road.
Slip through the fence and walk forwards. It is a dead end and in front of you is The Wall.
During the past few years, place names have been changed, walls have been smoothed over, fittings removed, and ‘messy’ buildings have been redecorated so as to almost wipe out any hint of their former daily functions. The result is a gentrification and appropriation (in the name of regeneration), which erases most external reminders of the past. It must be remembered, though, that ‘the past’ was made by people, and many of those people still live in the area. Their memories are who they are; this past is a valuable part of their lives.
