ZWERK | Exhibition
Locatie
TIjden
To celebrate its fifth anniversary, On The Inside is proud to present Zwerk — an art project that revolves around the old, poetic word for “sky” or “heaven”. The word conjures up images of an ever-changing sky and provides a sense of freedom, space and infinity. But this openness also includes feelings of confusion, alienation, a threat that is not immediately visible, and the realization that people are only small in such a big world. The exhibition shows these themes with installations, film, paintings and photography.

Under Pressure | Catarina Garcia & Jim Du Pan
Locatie
TIjden
Under Pressure by artists Catarina Garcia and Jim Du Pan is the winning entry of the NDSM Open Call 2023 and consists of a colossal steel ball that appears to rise above the shipyard. The base of the work is Kraan 7, a dilapidated, half-sawn crane that, in its heyday, carried pieces of steel from the warehouse to the slopes, where ships were assembled and restored. The sphere is illuminated from the inside and acts as a beacon for the environment, also visible from the water. The frame of the ball is wrapped in plants that move with the seasons.

Between The Sheets | Exhibition
Between the Sheets presents a focused exhibition by FAILE, the Brooklyn-based duo of Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller, whose work has long challenged the boundaries between the street and the studio, the iconic and the ephemeral. With a practice rooted in printmaking, collage, and visual sampling, FAILE has spent the past 25 years constructing a vocabulary that draws from mass media, sacred imagery, pulp fiction, and the language of the city.
