Curatorial context
This online webinar, presented via Zoom, offers an introduction to the distinctive paper art of Annita Smit. Art historian Marjolijn van Delft will guide participants through Smit's unique process of transforming old Bible paper into striking artworks. The webinar serves as a preview of the duo-exhibition 'Tijd en Eeuwigheid', which showcases Smit's paper creations alongside new poems by five contemporary Dutch poets exploring the concepts of Time and Eternity. The event aims to provide an insight into this cross-over exhibition, which is presented across two locations in The Hague: Escher in het Paleis and the Kloosterkerk.
Annita Smit's work, characterized by its powerful yet tender aesthetic, is explored in the context of the overarching themes of Time and Eternity. These abstract concepts, often difficult to define, are visually interpreted through Smit's innovative use of paper. The exhibition is further enriched by commissioned poems from Gershwin Bonevacia, Babs Gons, Marjolijn van Heemstra, Iduna Paalman, and Mustafa Stitou, offering diverse poetic impressions of these profound themes. Marjolijn Delft, an art historian closely involved with the exhibition at the Kloosterkerk, leads this informative session, providing curatorial context and highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the project.
