The exhibition 'Tijd en Eeuwigheid. Poëzie in beeld en woord' (Time and Eternity. Poetry in Image and Word) presents a captivating cross-over of visual art and poetry. At its heart are the intricate, three-dimensional paper art objects by Annita Smit, meticulously crafted from ultra-thin Bible paper, often revealing faint textual fragments. Some works are made from used hymn books or 'total loss Bibles,' adding layers of meaning. Smit's signature style is characterized by subtle, natural colors, extreme refinement, and detailed construction, where minuscule pieces of paper are assembled to create illusions of form and texture. These works are complemented by new poems from a new generation of Dutch poets: Gershwin Bonevacia, Babs Gons, Marjolijn van Heemstra, Iduna Paalman, and Mustafa Stitou. The poetry, printed on thin paper and displayed among the artworks, directly addresses the exhibition's theme and aims to resonate with the viewer's emotions, encouraging a 'mindfulness for museum visitors' through a 'slow art' experience. The exhibition intentionally eschews traditional labels and analyses, inviting visitors to have a personal, contemplative encounter with the art and poetry.
This exhibition was part of a tour and was last shown at CIRCL in Amsterdam from May 10 to July 29, 2022. Specific ticketing information for this past showing is not detailed on this page, but visitor engagement was encouraged through a unique 'slow art' experience without traditional labels or analyses. Information on previous tour locations and partners is provided, highlighting the exhibition's wider reach and collaborative nature.
