Episode 11 : Mary Ann Strandell

02-02-2018

Mary Ann Strandell and I hang out in the gallery in front of a large wall painting and a set of lenticular prints she created for the 'Solace' group exhibition in Chelsea, NY (Nov-Dec 2017).  She and I talk about how her ideas for wall paintings and room installations were influenced by 18th century chinoiserie period rooms.   Mary Ann shares about her childhood,  her entry into the art world, and how meditation and inner life have been important to her artistic growth. We end by talking about the more esoteric aspects of the creative process and what it means to get your art out into the world. See her work and find out more about this terrific artist here: https://www.maryannstrandell.com/

Moderne en hedendaagse kunst uit een internationaal georiënteerde bedrijfscollectie.

Museum De Wieger toont bezoekers een keuze uit de weinig bekende 

kunstcollectie van Vescom, een internationaal opererende onderneming uit Deurne.

Het bedrijf legt zich toe op de ontwikkeling, productie en 

distributie van hoogwaardige interieurproducten: wandbekleding, 

meubelbekleding en gordijnen. In 1971 begon Joop van Esch, grondlegger 

van het bedrijf, in Deurne met de fabricage van vinyl wandbekledingen 

voor de zakelijke projectmarkt. Vescom is uitgegroeid tot een bedrijf 

met 350 werknemers en een omzet van € 90 mio. Naast de hoofdvestiging in

 Deurne zijn er productievestigingen en verkoopkantoren in Europa, Azië,

 het Midden-Oosten, Latijns-Amerika en de Verenigde Staten. Vescom is 

een familiebedrijf. Sinds 1996 ligt de leiding van het bedrijf in handen

 van de volgende generatie. Joop van Esch is in 2017 op 91-jarige 

leeftijd overleden.

De bedrijfskunstcollectie is ontstaan uit de privéverzameling die 

Joop van Esch begon. Hij liet zijn kunstwerken ook in de showrooms van 

zijn bedrijf ophangen. Het samenspel van een eigentijds kunstwerk op een

 mooi beklede wand bleek de perfecte manier om de producten van Vescom 

voor het voetlicht te brengen. De Vescom-collectie anno nu is een 

internationaal georiënteerde verzameling, gericht op abstracte en 

conceptuele beeldende kunst, fotografie, pop art, installaties en 

multimedia uit de afgelopen vijftig jaar. De collectie wordt door de 

familie beheerd en staat ten dienste van het bedrijf.

Werk uit de collectie was sporadisch eerder te zien: in 2011 in het Van 

Abbemuseum en in 2013 in het Gemeentemuseum Helmond.

Nu mogen dan ook bezoekers van Museum De Wieger in Deurne kennismaken 

met deze goed verborgen ‘schat van eigen bodem’.

Solace...

Solace… works by artists who turn inward, especially 
in times of turmoil, to find and inspire calm.

Review: Whitehot Magazine Review_ November 2017

Mary Ann Strandell, "For Baudelaire", Installation 15' x 15', 
ink drawing in situ with 3D Lenticular Print media, 2017

“For Baudelaiere” is a contemplative and performative installation which considers the notion of decentralized place through two distinct systems of experience; the large scaled hand-drawn garden motifs, with the counter active mediated lenticular print panels. These two worlds host a fleeting aspect of time and place that is perhaps at once, a waterfall, a street map, a transit system, a circuit, a song.

The garden motif is a montage from a long study on the garden genre meme, which I documented from historic hand-painted porcelain plates over a number of years. This composite holds seven partial garden renderings, that include 13th to 17th century China, Japan, Germany, and The Netherlands. The layered geometric lenticular presents a post-modern network of mapping and circuitry. Here these two worlds, still in their own orbits, coalesce a possibility in tandem with a revery of sudden leaps.
Mary Ann Strandell 11/1/17

Who among us has not dreamt, in moments of ambition, of the miracle of a poetic prose, musical 
without rhythm and rhyme, supple and staccato enough to adapt to the lyrical stirrings of the soul, t
he undulations of dreams, and sudden leaps of consciousness. This obsessive idea is above all a
child of giant cities, of the intersecting of their myriad relations.  —   Charles Baudelaire, Dedication of Le Spleen de Paris
