With the crisis as a startingpoint Ikon visits several artists, filosophers, scientists and architects to hear their vision on the future. Episode 2: 'Towards a new world' features Claudy Jongstra.
A news item dedicated to Claudy Jongstra when she won the 'Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Prijs voor Toegepaste Kunst en Bouwkunst' (Applied Arts and Architecture Prize)
At Lincoln Center (NY) Claudy Jongstra has designed two monumental art-installations i.c.w. Tod Williams and Billie Tsien Architects. Each installation (North- and South wall) is app. 97 foot. The wall coverings are made of felted wool and silk in a palette of natural colors, gold and grey. The fabric takes on a painterly quality when viewed from below or from a distance. Captivating and decorative, dynamic and still, rich details stand out in this work.
Claudy’s dedication in these pieces is the integration of sensitive and environmentally sustainable materials to bring visual softening to the double-heighted public space and enhance the acoustical balance.
