Katrin Korfmann Public Art Comissions & Selected Works Katrin Korfmann Public Art Comissions & selected works Title: Gravitation, 2 Hours Date: 2010 Size: 3 x 26 m & 3 x 13 m 118” x 1024” & 118” x 512” Comissioned by: Ronald McDonald sport Centre Amsterdam. Centre for children and youth with disabilities. Disabled youngsters were photographed in situations in which their bodies can tem- porarily give up restrictions in relation to gravity. In one image we see the youngsters caught as they jump into the water, while in the other they jump on a large inflata- ble bouncer. In both of these pictures the progression of time is captured in a single encompassing image by stitching different instants of time together. The freedom which is expressed in the freely propelled bodies temporarily can- cels the difference which separates the disabled youngsters from their able bo- died contemporaries.

Commissioned by PI2 and super- vised by Rijksvastgoedbedrijf and TAAK, five art projects for the new high tech buil- ding were realized. Katrin Korfmann created a new series of photographic works for four visitor’s areas. For each artwork she photographed a different square in Amsterdam focus- sing on the cultural diversity of the cities public spaces.

Upon closer inspection, one notices that many of these rushing figures carry a ‘coffee to go’ with them. The photo, a collage of images which have been recor- ded at regular intervals during a span of 33 minutes, attempts to visualize an experience of time in a spatial plane. It illustrates our hurried reality in which coffee is no longer just a shared convivial beverage but an instrumental stimulant that allows people to keep going, now moving alongside each other anonymously with a coffee on the run. Detail: Coffe Title: Nickel´s Eye, 2d Date: 2009 Size: 200 x 360 cm 79” x 142” Material: Lightjetprint / diasec / lightbox Commisioned by: Refriango (Luanda / Lisbon) Comissioned by Refriango, soft drink producer in Angola. Artwork for the head office in Lisbon Detail: Nickel’s Eye Title: Koi, 45 Minutes Date: 2013 Size: 200 x 280 cm 79” x 110” Material: Illuminated ceramic, print on glass Woon wijze comissioned a work of art on the outer side of their main head quar ters Comissioned by: Woonwijze, in Vught. Korfmann’s installa tion consists of a 2 meter by 2,80 meter glass plate, housing cooperation, Vught, which is installed on a window niche about 3 meters high on a generous, postmo dern The Netherlands buil ding. On this verti cally posi tioned pla- te several precious Koi carps can be seen, cavorting on the buil ding façade. The viewer of the work expe ri ences a moment of irrita tion: although he looks up, at the same time he looks down into an orna mental pond. This paradox is even further reinforced by the backlight of the work, which gives the impression that the pond is illu minated from below: by the light, the golden glowing carps move clo- ser to the surface, while the water seems even more profound. The work invites us to reflect on our culture of status symbols and on our rela ti onship to nature. Title: Horizon Vanished Date: 2011 Size: 150 x 565 cm Material: Photographic print Horizon Vanished is a work photographed on a square in Amsterdam West which is near Korfmann’s studio. It is a collage of hundreds of photos which were shot over a period of six hours on one afternoon in order to create a literal image of time, as if it were a container for the memory of the space itself. Detail: HorizonVanished Title: Commemorative Unesco coin De Beemster & Schokland Date: 2018 & 2019 Size: 29 & 33 mm (Silver) 22,5 mm (Gold) Comissioned by: Ministry of Katrin Korfmann designed two special commemorative coins that have been issued by the Royal Dutch Mint Finance and Royal Dutch Mint celebrating Schokland and De Beemster, UNESCO world heritage. In her design Katrin Korfmann emphasizes on the contrast between the free, organic form of the former landscape and the constructed grid of the dutch polder architecture, so called “The Reclaimed Landscape”. She developed positive negative design for two coins: The landscape of the former island of Schokland and the portrait of the king on the front of this coin rise - a reference to the former island, which emerged above the Zuiderzee. The Beemster coin is designed exactly the other way around: The area of ​​the former lake and the portrait of the King invert into the coin. The unity of the two coins is strengthened by the fact that the lines surrounding the king’s portrait on the Schokland coin continue if they were placed exactly on top of the king’s portrait of the Beemster coin.

Detail: Enembles Assembled Detail: Enembles Assembled Title: Ballet Rehearsal, Amsterdam Date: 2018 from the Series Back Stages Title: In the Garden Date: 2019 Size: 90 x 600 cm Material: Fine art print on dibond / plexiglass Comissioned by: Rijnstate art collection, hospital Arnhem, NL On behalf of Rijnstate, artist Katrin Korfmann has created a six-meter wide photo for the department of General Day Care. In the almost panoramic work you see children gardening in a bird’s eye perspective. You look over their shoulders for sharp details. Planting and harvesting, the spring onion is already in the carrier bag. In Korfmann’s photography a whole world can be discovered and at the same time the work offers a calm, balanced image. Detail: In the Garden For further information please visit: www.katrinkorfmann.com Katrin Korfmann grew up in Berlin, Germany and lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She studied at the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, where she [email protected] specialised in photography and continued her research with residencies at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, Cittadellarte in Biella and the Chinese European Art Centre in Xiamen, China. Owing to her background in photography, Katrin Korfmann’s work in various media – photo-works, videos and installations – is concerned with concepts of framing, perspective, and the social dimensions of perception, and pushes the boundaries of photography and representation. An important determinant in her work are observations of specific public places, made visible through the presentation of different sequential incidents that have been registered within a given period and location, in one single spatial arrangement. The issue of responsibility for the existence of an image, the choice of the right moment and the framing that determines an image also play an important role in her work. Korfmann’s work maybe characterized by a formal level of composition, structure and spatiotemporal experience, that is aimed at the registration and inves- tigation of social constructions and behavior in public space. Since the late 1990s her work has been exhibited internationally in galleries, museums, alternative art institutions and public spaces. Her work is represented in numerous private and public international collections. She won several prizes for her work, including Radostar Prize (CH), Prix de Rome (2nd prize) and the Esther Kroon Award (NL) and recei- ved grants from international institutions like Robert Bosch and Würth Foundation, Akademie der Künste Berlin (DE) and Mondriaan Fund (NL). Additionally to her artistic practice she is a tutor at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague; advisor for the Dutch Creative Industrie Fund and board Member of the Foundation Continuiteit Beeldrecht..

Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: 26 November 2013, accepted: 14 May 2014 Abstract Flevoland (central Netherlands) is an area of long-term discontinuous deposition that has been reclaimed from the Zuiderzee in the 20th century. Before the reclamation, the Zuiderzee had been in a phase of enlargement, threatening inhabitants on the islands and the shores, since the Medieval Period. During this phase, a surficial clay cover was deposited on the island of Schokland (World Heritage Site: Noordoostpolder, northern Flevoland). We have studied the clay sequence in order to reconstruct the island’s flooding history during the last 1200 years. The depositional history of the youn- gest clay deposit on Schokland is inferred from a literature study, analyses of a digital elevation model, six coring transects, three new 14C accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates and laboratory analyses.

Renes Masterthesis Human Geography & Planning Universiteit Utrecht Forget About World Heritage: What Are the Values? A Research Into Lay People’s Heritage Perception in World Heritage Nominations Thijs Konijnendijk Student No. 3017540 Supervisor: dr. H. Renes Masterthesis Research Master Human Geography & Planning Universiteit Utrecht, August 2010 Cover illustration: World Heritage Site Schokland and Surroundings Image by Thijs Konijnendijk 2 Preface The preface of a thesis is often seen as an opportunity to boast about the many long hours spent or the litres of coffee needed to complete a work of some acceptable scientific value. And although I cannot deny that such conditions apply to the present report as well, the one thing that was most apparent, available and experienced during the writing of this thesis was joy. It simply was joyful to go to the bottom of literature on cultural landscapes and historic buildings and to design a survey which would be held under so many people. Joy too is what I encountered when talking to the experts I interviewed, as well as enthusiasm for the subject they had specialized in and the work they had accomplished. Last, but certainly not least, I also enjoyed discussing my research with my colleagues, supervisor, friends and family who were always there when I had questions or concerns about my progress. For this joy and enthusiasm, as well as all the information and help they offered, I want to thank all the people who participated in my survey and those who I have interviewed: Ms.

  • CT4460 Polders 2015.Pdf
    Course CT4460 Polders April 2015 Dr. O.A.C. Hoes Professor N.C. van de Giesen Delft University of Technology Artikelnummer 06917300084 These lecture notes are part of the course entitled ‘Polders’ given in the academic year 2014-2015 by the Water Resources Section of the faculty of Civil Engineering, Delft University of Technology. These lecture notes may contain some mistakes. If you have any comments or suggestions that would improve a reprinted version, please send an email to [email protected]. When writing these notes, reference was made to the lecture notes ‘Polders’ by Prof. ir. J.L. Klein (1966) and ‘Polders and flood control’ by Prof. ir. R. Brouwer (1998), and to the books ‘Polders en Dijken’ by J. van de Kley and H.J. Zuidweg (1969), ‘Water management in Dutch polder areas’ by Prof. dr. ir. B. Schulz (1992), and ‘Man-made Lowlands’ by G.P. van der Ven (2003). Moreover, many figures, photos and tables collected over the years from different reports by various water boards have been included. For several of these it was impossible to track down the original sources. Therefore, the references for these figures are missing and we apologise for this. We hope that with these lecture notes we have succeeded in producing an orderly and accessible overview about the genesis and management of polders. These notes will not be discussed page by page during the lectures, but will form part of the examination.

  • Geschichte Von Noordoostpolder, Urk Und Schokland
    Geschichte von Noordoostpolder, Urk und Schokland Gewinnung Neues Land In 1918 wurde inmitten eines Gewässers angelegt. Das größte geplante Einzelobjekt war der 32 Kilometer lange Abschlussdeich (Afsluitdijk), der als Schutz vor der Nordsee dienen sollte. Als dieser 1932 vollendet war, wurde die Zuiderzee vollständig abgetrennt und in IJsselmeer umbenannt. Die Insel Urk liegt nicht mehr in die Zuiderzee, aber in IJsselmeer. In 1936 wurde insgesamt 31,5 Kilometer Deich gebaut; von Lemmer bis Urk. Der Nordostpolder wurde im Jahre 1942 im Rahmen der Zuiderzeewerke trockengelegt und schließt sich im Osten an das ältere Festland an, im Westen liegt er am heutigen See IJsselmeer. Innerhalb des Polders befinden sich die ehemaligen Inseln Urk und Schokland. Das Hauptanliegen waren der Schutz vor der offenen See und die Gewinnung von wertvollem Landwirtschaftsland. Inrichtung des Nordostpolder Während der Besatzungszeit, bis 1945, fanden viele Untergetauchte halb-illegale Arbeit und Zuflucht, die niederländische Widerstandsbewegung hatte hier ihr Rückzugsgebiet. Der Beginn der Trockenlegung fiel zeitlich zusammen mit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Viele der Tausende Menschen, die hier arbeiteten (der Noordoostpolder wurde größtenteils von Hand kultiviert), waren aus noch einem guten Grund hier: Sie entkamen so dem Arbeitseinsatz in Deutschland. Wieder andere hatten noch einen besonderen Grund, um bei der Landgewinnung mit zu helfen: Sie hofften, dadurch ihre Aussichten auf einen Bauernhof oder auf einen festen Arbeitsplatz zu verbessern. Bei der Kolonisierung ging es keinesfalls um willkürliche Niederlassungen. Vielmehr wurden neu hinzukommende Bewohner/- innen sehr sorgfältig ausgewählt. Der eher dünn besiedelte Noordoostpolder ist wichtig für die hochwertige Land- und Gartenwirtschaft. Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg wurden Stein und Maurer noch selten; und er machte, wenn zuerst der vorgefertigte Betonbauteile zu verwenden, zum Erstellen von Scheunen.

    THE NETHERLANDS Off the Beaten Path April 3 – 15, 2022 Hosted by Henk Aay and Robert Hoeksema There is an old Dutch saying, “God created the earth, but the Dutch created the Netherlands.” Come see how, over time, the Dutch transformed their country. Today nearly 17% of the country is reclaimed land. Your hosts Henk and Bob will intertwine the rich history of water management as it connects with popular landmarks, sightseeing, and culture. The windmill is a prime example of this. Compare the UNESCO Heritage windmills of Kinderdijk with the modern Deltaworks. In Amsterdam cruise the Canal Ring and some lesser known, but fascinating sites such as Ons’ Lieve Heer op Solder (a hidden Roman Catholic house church). Elsewhere, visit Castle Amerongen, explore the Hoge Veluwe National Park along with its famous Kröller-Müller art museum, and explore the quaint city of Delft, where you will be given time to shop at the open-air markets. Most excursions will include opportunities to sample diverse Dutch cuisines. The evenings and free day can be spent shopping, visiting museums, and relaxing in the wonderful restaurants and pubs of Leiden and Zwolle, your two “home-bases.” This unique blend of history, culture, and charm is one tour you won’t want to miss. Space is limited, so register today!
