Wild Gliders

Aschenbach & Hofland galleries, Amsterdam

The aim of Wild Gliders is to animate a discussion on the role of nature in a fabricated world in the grips of creeping urbanisation. The exhibition shows the role of nature in our society as seen through the eyes of a number of young artists who are attempting to break through the conditioned pattern of seeing. They dissect flowers, isolate animals from their normal context and demonstrate that artificial and original nature can flow together quite seamlessly.

The aim of Wild Gliders is to animate a discussion on the role of nature in a fabricated world in the grips of creeping urbanisation. The exhibition shows the role of nature in our society as seen through the eyes of a number of young artists who are attempting to break through the conditioned pattern of seeing. They dissect flowers, isolate animals from their normal context and demonstrate that artificial and original nature can flow together quite seamlessly.

Despite the diversity of their approaches, the artists of Wild Gliders are all oriented towards the positive aspects of a 'new' nature. They focus our attention on nature as an ingenious construction that can be copied and imitated. It is this merging of artificial and 'original' nature that can give rise to new possibilities.

Wild Gliders hopes to promote the cultural exchange between Amsterdam and Dresden.The exhibition is a joint project between CCD Produkties Foundation (Amsterdam) and Scharfenberg Castle(Dresden). The exhibition plans to travel to the new cultural centre in Scharfenberg Castle near Dresden in the spring of 2002, where it will be shown in a new form.

Wild Gliders is financially supported by: Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, VSB fonds and Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Amsterdam
