![]() ![]() In Supertoll! Rooijakkers is keen to work together with Fresku because they both want to inspire others with their work. His Supertoll! project in Het Oog is located in a part of the museum that is accessible free of charge to everyone. Like the Van Abbemuseum, the artist thinks that visibility, cooperation and involving the public are important. In Supertoll! he aims to build a bridge between the museum and the city, between art and urban culture and between the inhabitants and the environment they live in. They are often a response to the physical location or context in which he works. Tijs Rooijakkers (born 1975) mainly creates spatial installations, which have also been described as sketches in space. Supertoll! in the Van Abbemuseum will be the first stage of a broader project by Rooijakkers in which he wants to involve a number of residents from the Woensel-West district. ![]() The motion graphic studio OddOne will make a time-lapse recording of the working process in Het Oog and this will be used in Freskus new video clip. ![]() The end result can be seen in the Van Abbemuseum up to 5 January 2014. Rooijakkers will then continue to work up to the final presentation on Saturday 7 December. Once a top is spinning, it supersedes gravity. From Monday 15 July to Friday 19 July 2013 visitors can see Rooijakkers and Fresku working together. The artist explains: The spinning-top is a symbol of the will, power and passion of mankind. Rooijakkers will then steam these wooden battens and bend them into the shape of an enormous spinning-top. The semi-circular wall of Het Oog will be covered with wooden battens on which Fresku has written texts about his personal motivations and ambitions. For this project he invited Fresku, a rapper who also comes from Eindhoven, to work together with him. On the first of July, the artist Tijs Rooijakkers (living and working in Eindhoven) will start his project Supertoll! in Het Oog (The Eye), a space in the Van Abbemuseum. ![]()
