Dutch artist Mark Sturkenboom graduated on Product design with his collection

This collection contains products that are reinterpretations of objects interconnected by the themes of love and time. Sturkenboom reshaped know objects such as a table clock, an urn and a mousetrap wich get intertwined with new associations.











Driessens & Verstappen, 'Hot Pool', 2010

Hot Pool is a diorama in which a landscape of wax continuously transforms under the influence of melting and solidification phenomena. The installation is an autonomous generative system wherein candle wax and heat are the shaping elements. The ongoing -although very slow- process is visible for the audience through a small window.

Levi van Veluw 's faces - Dutch artist


Dutch Artist Levi van Veluw next to his sculpture; 'Veneer Object III', 2010 (150 x 80 x 80 cm)
Dutch artist Levi van Veluw (1985) graduated in 2007 at the ARTEZ academy of arts in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Levi had always been fascinated by heads. In his work he uses his own head as an object and his face as a canvas. Therefore his role as an artist shifts from creator to object to subject. 

'Tape' is one of the first works of Levi were he experiments using his face as an object while photographing the result of his own creation.

Levi van Veluw experiments with various materials. A serie that's very interesting is 'Ballpoints' were Levi drew on his own face with an ordinary pen. Giving the everyday object new meaning by placing it in a different context.

Levi van Veluw, 'Origin of the beginning 3.2', 2011 (4 x 2,5 x 2,5 m)

The latest work of Levi van Veluw is 'Origin of the beginning'. Levi created three spaces, life-size installations and this time he integrated his whole body. 
The rooms are the narrative behind the self-portraits of Levi and are drawn from his childhood memories. 
Because Levi van Veluw has a very universal appearance his work also raises questions about life and aspects of being human. 
For his next project Levi wants to concentrate more on video-installations.
