New Video ‘Healing’ on Vimeo
The video triptych ‘Healing’ was created after two working periods in Iceland (NES) and Leipzig (LIA) in which a poetic representation of the degradation of the landscape, symbolized via the ‘Skin’ and the ‘Mountain’, undergoes a healing process.
The soundscape was created by Titus Drissen.
Publication Moving Mountains
IT IS NOW AVAILABLE! The publication of the exhibition Moving Mountains.
From a talent development program of the Noordenaars, three artists from Drenthe were sent to artist in residence projects; Loes Heebink to LIAP in Leipzig, Germany, Gejan Stol to Het Wilde Weten in Rotterdam and Esther Schlebos to AADK in Spain.
The valuable working periods, as well as an extended working period at the CBK in Emmen, resulted in a special exhibition, which was only visible to the public for a short time. In order to document this intensive period and the new work that has arisen, we have decided to make a document that does justice to these two years (2020-2022). The special edition, designed by Studio Wouter van Tilborg, in which the viewer/reader is taken on a tour of the Moving Mountains exhibition.
How can you get such a special publication, costs €25?

Exhibition CONTRAST in Sculpturepark de Havixhorst in De Wijk NL
This exhibition with work by Guus Hellegers, Francesca Zijlstra and Loes Heebink surprises by the contrast.
The robust figures of Zijlstra, inspired by antiquity, the ‘flat’ and in a sense humorous images of Hellegers and the transparent and whispering objects of Heebink, find each other in the beautiful, leafy gardens of Sculpture Park De Havixhorst. They arouse awe, evoke a smile and make you watch and listen to the convergence of culture and nature.

From 20th of June 2021 till the 15th of April 2022
A bound catalog has been published for this exhibition and can be obtained from Stichting Beeldenpark de Havixhorst.

Push/Pull/Present Moving Mountains in CBK De Fabriek in Emmen, NL
The Drenthe artists Loes Heebink (Kolderveen), Esther Schlebos (Buinerveen) and Gejan Stol (Assen) were selected as artist in residence for the Push / Pull / Present project in LIA Leipzig (Germany), AADK Murcia (Spain) and Het Wilde Weten, Rotterdam at the end of 2020.
They were encouraged by K&C Drenthe and CBK Emmen, from the Artist in Space program of We The North, to develop artistically by spending a month in a guest studio in an urban environment.
In addition to accommodation, the artists received a stipend for travel and accommodation expenses and the organization in the host country arranged coaching and cultural meetings, enabling the professional artists to expand their (inter) national contacts.
A reflection of these working periods can currently be seen at the CBK De Fabriek in Emmen and will be open to the public from 5 June to 11 July. The artists have been working from March 22nd and have used this lockdown period as an extended residency to attune their work to the space and each other’s work. This has created a nice cohesion and also new (joint) works.
A virtual tour, the “walkabout” https://vimeo.com/542782785 is a teaser to make the public curious about the experience of the works in the space. As soon as it is allowed to receive a public again, the artists and the organization of the CBK De Fabriek Emmen, welcome everyone to visit.
Nieuw Leven – ten tijde van covid-19
Terwijl de (mensen)wereld stil viel, ging de natuur gewoon door, zoals ze sinds het ontstaan van de wereld altijd gedaan heeft. Een metafoor voor het ontstaan van ‘Nieuw Leven – ten tijde van Covid-19’, een fotoboek van zwart-wit naar kleur van mijn directe omgeving.
Kunstopdracht ‘Wuivend riet en deinende sloepjes’ in Vinkeveld, kunstopdracht gemeente De Ronde Venen, locatie Vinkeveen (realisatie 2019). Op twee locaties (een ontmoetingsplek en een uitzichtpunt) staat het werk met een dag en nacht opstelling.
Vanaf 30 augustus tot begin november is het kunstproject Clemenswerther Flüsterer te zien op Schloss Clemenswerth in Sögel, Duitsland. Vervolgens maakt het werk in 2020 (maart-november) deel uit van de zomertentoonstelling in de Beeldenpark de Havixhorst in IJhorst, NL.
