Lecture about time: a dialogue between artist Jacobien de Rooij and emeritus professor of history Piet de Rooij

Thursday, May 23 – 19.00:21.00 PM - XNUMX:XNUMX PM

Artist Jacobien de Rooij and emeritus professor Piet de Rooij will attend the exhibition the secret of deep time talking to each other.

Jacobien de Rooij (1947) creates monumental drawings that are a fusion of her observations of nature during walks in various locations such as Ireland, Scotland, China, Portugal and the Amsterdam water supply dunes, and her interpretations of what she reads in books. In her studio, these observations and thoughts are converted into powerful reconstructions. The versatility of nature is depicted in imposing landscapes into which the viewer almost seems to be able to step. The use of colors and their gradual progression, combined with careful construction, creates depth in the drawings, taking the viewer, as it were, through the different layers of geological time.

Piet de Rooij (born 1944, brother of Jacobien de Rooij) is an emeritus professor of history and author, who looks critically at the changes that occur in different eras. In this duo conversation, Jacobien and Piet de Rooij will jointly investigate how questions about growth, changes in eras, geology and the relationship with nature have inspired both.
