This exhibition presented striking paper art objects by Annita Smit alongside new poems by contemporary Dutch poets, exploring the relationship between art and viewer. It invited visitors to experience a moment of stillness and contemplation, focusing on mindfulness and meditation through 'slow art'.
The exhibition 'Tijd en Eeuwigheid' (Time and Eternity) was a cross-over presentation that showcased stunning three-dimensional paper art objects by Annita Smit, crafted from ultrathin, redacted Bible paper, with fragments of text sometimes shimmering through. These works, alongside new poems by contemporary Dutch poets like Gershwin Bonevacia, Babs Gons, Marjolijn van Heemstra, Iduna Paalman, and Mustafa Stitou, created a dialogue between visual art and poetry. Smit's intricate paper works, known for their subtle colors and meticulous detail, often play with optical illusions, with each piece appearing constructed from minuscule, wind-blown paper fragments. The exhibition aimed to foster a direct relationship between the art and the viewer, encouraging a 'slow art' experience akin to mindfulness and meditation, with minimal didactic labels. The poems were printed on thin paper and displayed among the artworks. The exhibition originated at the Bijbels Museum and traveled to various locations in the Netherlands, including Escher in Het Paleis, Museum Krona in Uden, Museum Klooster Ter Apel, and CIRCL Amsterdam, adapting its presentation to each unique context.
