  • Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross B
    Kerlin Gallery Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross b. 1956, Cork, Ireland Like many of Dorothy Cross’ sculptures, Family (2005) and Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) sees the artist work with found objects, transforming them with characteristic wit and sophistication. Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) presents a pair of deflated footballs, no longer of use, their past buoyancy now anchored in bronze. Emerging from each is a cast of the artist’s hands, index finger extended upwards in a pointed gesture suggesting optimism or aspiration. In Family (2005) we see the artist’s undeniable craft and humour come together. Three spider crabs were found, dead for some time but still together. The intricacies of their form and the oddness of their sideways maneuvres forever cast in bronze. The ‘father’ adorned with an improbable appendage also pointing upwards and away. --- Working in sculpture, film and photography, Dorothy Cross examines the relationship between living beings and the natural world. Living in Connemara, a rural area on Ireland’s west coast, the artist sees the body and nature as sites of constant change, creation and destruction, new and old. This flux emerges as strange and unexpected encounters. Many of Cross’ works incorporate items found on the shore, including animals that die of natural causes. During the 1990s, the artist produced a series of works using cow udders, which drew on the animals' rich store of symbolic associations across cultures to investigate the construction of sexuality Dorothy Cross Right Ball and Left Ball 2007 cast bronze, unique 34 x 20 x 19 cm / 13.4 x 7.9 x 7.5 in 37 x 19 x 17 cm / 14.6 x 7.5 x 6.7 in DC20407A Dorothy Cross Family 2005 cast bronze edition of 2/4 dimensions variable element 1: 38 x 19 x 20 cm / 15 x 7.5 x 7.9 in element 2: 25 x 24 x 13 cm / 9.8 x 9.4 x 5.1 in element 3: 16 x 15 x 13 cm / 6.3 x 5.9 x 5.1 in DC17405-2/4 Dorothy Cross b.

    Wandel het Jabikspaad de Friese Camino! Het Jabikspaad (Fries voor Jacobspad) is een pelgrimsroute van ongeveer 130 kilometer. En loopt van Sint Jacobiparochie in Noordwest Friesland, via Leeuwarden of Franeker naar Heerenveen tot het eindpunt: Hasselt (Overijssel). Je loopt verschillende etappes, haalt stempels bij vriendelijke bewoners en ontdekt eeuwenoud erfgoed en prachtige natuurgebieden. De kracht van pelgrimeren Pelgrimeren is een actieve manier om onder de in - druk te raken van de stilte en schoonheid die de natuur en het landschap je biedt. Het dagelijkse tempo gaat omlaag, wat voor veel pelgrims een methode is om eigen levenservaringen toe te laten, te verwerken of tot rust te komen. Tijdens het wandelen en tijdens ontmoetingen er - vaar je de rijkdom van het leven. Het leven na een pelgrimsreis is dan ook altijd anders dan ervoor! ^ Wolkom yn Fryslan Wandelen in Friesland betekent: frisse lucht, een goed verzorgd wandelnetwerk, een gevarieerd land - schap, prachtige dorpen en Elfsteden, spontane ont - moetingen en hartelijke gastvrijheid. Deze natuur kom je tegen: * UNESCO Werelderfgoed De Waddenzee * Weidevogelreservaat De Lionserpolder * Natuurgebied De Deelen * Natuurgebied Lendevallei * Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden De Friese Camino de Santiago Volgens de legende droomde keizer Karel de Grote van een sterrenweg, beginnend bij de Friese Zee en eindi - gend in Spanje.

Voor de keizer een reden om verschillende culturen van landen en volken te verbinden. Een groot netwerk van Europese Jacobswegen was ontstaan. Sinds 2000 is de Friese Camino voorzien van bewegwijzering en zijn er stempelposten voor wandelaars.

  • 2018 European Capitals of Culture: Leeuwarden and Valletta
    European Commission - Press release 2018 European Capitals of Culture: Leeuwarden and Valletta Brussels, 3 January 2018 The opening celebrations for Valletta will take place from 14 to 20 January across the city, inspired by the traditional Maltese festa (village feast). Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, will attend the official opening ceremony on 20 January. In Leeuwarden, celebrations will kick off on 26 and 27 January, with artistic installations and performances by professional and amateur artists across the city, and museums opening their doors to visitors throughout the Friesland region. European Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans will attend the official opening ceremony on 27 January. Commissioner Navracsics said: "The European Capitals of Culture help bring communities together through culture with long-lasting benefits for the respective cities, their citizens and their economies. 2018 will be a special year as it is the European Year of Cultural Heritage, and both Capitals have included many projects promoting cultural heritage in their programmes – contributing to highlighting the role of culture in building a European identity. I wish Leeuwarden and Valletta every success for the coming year." What's on? The programme for Valetta's festa aims to encourage artists and audiences to rethink the traditional view of culture. Due to Malta's specific location as an island-state between Europe and North Africa, the programme also aspires to bring together different points of view from the various shores of the Mediterranean. More than 140 projects and 400 events are included in the programme, organised around three main themes: “Island Stories”, “Future Baroque” and “Voyages”.
