'OTARK & SOLAR' @ Atelier Solarshop

2010-12-06T04:49:00.000-08:00

For 10 days Atelier Solarshop’s space will transform into a tea and lunchroom 'OTARK & SOLAR'.

Otark, a food-collective from Antwerp will provide hospitality and the menus.

Be our guest; come and (re)discover food inspired by holiday recipes and traditions. Cakes, cookies, sandwiches, soups and some dinners on special occasions. All in a cozy winter holiday setting.

Whether one wants to celebrate Christmas, Hannukah or Kwaanza, everybody is welcome to join us at Atelier Solarshop.

FREE WiFi.

www.otarkproductions.blogspot.com

DATE: December 21st till 31st.
HOURS: 10h30 till 19h

!!! DINNER DATES: December 23rd, 28th & 30th (open until 22h - reservations only)

CONCERT: December 26th @ 18h. The clarinet virtuoso Joachim Badenhorst will be performing.
www.joachimbadenhorst.com

Besides this taste and smell experience Atelier Solarshop will also provide 'food-for-thought' and 'candy-for-the-eyes' by hosting two visual artists:

1. The ‘hanging plants’ or ‘string gardens’ of the Dutch-Antillean Fedor Van Der Valk will also be integrated into the project.
This art of gardening is a variation on the 'Kokedama'; a Japanese botanical style where plants are arranged in moss covered balls of soil and then placed in a bowl.

Fedor takes it further; his 'Kokedamas' are floating in the air, creating surreal hanging gardens.

www.stringgardens.com

2. ‘Misu-A-Barbe’ is a brand by Korean designer Misu Kim. Her work will be presented during this project. Drawing her inspiration from the special within the ordinary, Misu is using knitwear to communicate her vision.

Her work is shown through installations including sculptures and puppets in site specific environments, proving her regard to be three dimensional.

Exhibition 'BONTE AVOND' by Victor de Bie & Roos van Soest

photography: Wiglius de Bie / clothing: Bas Kosters

VICTOR DE BIE (paintings) and ROOS VAN SOEST (jewellery) will be exhibiting their works from December 17th till 19th @ ATELIER SOLARSHOP.

"Mysterious characters and brilliant colors tumble over each other in exuberant 'Fin de Siècle' festivity. But behind the glitzy façade lurks a sense of unease. Is this circus more menacing than it appears...? Against the background of impending doom, crisis and loss they celebrate 'Bonte Avond'.... The Final Party."

OPENING NIGHT December 17th from 19h - 0h
Opening hours December 18th & 19th from 14h till 19h.

JAN-JAN VAN ESCCHE - COLLECTION#1 - LAUNCH

OFFICIAL OPENING PARTY - JUNE 13TH 2010

Jan-Jan Van Essche (1980), born and raised in Antwerp, will be launching his first men’s collection ‘YUKKURI’ @ Atelier Solarshop. Graduating at the Antwerp fashion academy in 2003, he wins the 4 main prices including the prestigious Dries Van Noten and FFI price. Now Jan-Jan is ready and set to go. But this will be on his own pace. After all his first collection is titled ‘YUKKURI’; translated as slow or taking it easy in Japanese. Jan-Jan’s collection offers a mindset or even a lifestyle of easiness, a mixture of ethnic values and influences adapted to his experience of our modern times and city life. By using embroidery, braiding and weaving technics, Jan-Jan takes it slowly but surely. And all is made in Belgium. All his pieces are individually numbered in small limited series and ‘off-the-shelf’, meaning when it’s gone it’s gone. For two weeks Atelier Solarshop will be a showroom/shop where clients, shops and press can come and get acquainted with his first born.

DUBIEUS DESIGN winter - JANUARY 17TH '09

2009-02-15T13:51:00.000-08:00

Combining the 'IN-VIEW' exhibition with once again a pop-up shop for two days. Atelier Solarshop and Design Centre combined forces and formed synergy for a more diverse Dubieus Design winter edition.

A collection of vintage design furniture, mostly industrial & '50-ties design filled up the space of Atelier Solarshop for two days.

SECOND 'IN-VIEW' EXHIBITION- JANUARY 16TH '09

2009-02-15T13:04:00.000-08:00

The 2nd Edition of 'IN-VIEW' was devoted to Antwerp based artist Peter Hulsmans. In his work Peter Hulsmans transforms our daily environment in a way trying to make us more aware of that granted environment. Common objects and situations are alianated, which enables the viewer to relive certain experiences more profound.

For the 'IN-VIEW' project Hulsmans mirrored the facade of Atelier Solarshop inwards. He reconstructed the total front in white carton.

FIRST 'IN-VIEW' EXHIBITION - NOVEMBER 27TH '08

2009-02-15T12:35:00.000-08:00

Atelier Solarshop being a crossroad and workshop for artists, designers and other creatives, decided to open up to the neighbourhood and to use its front windows as a platform.
This project is called 'IN-VIEW'

'IN-VIEW' = a collaborative project. Artists are invited to work around Atelier Solarshop's front windows. This way Atelier Solarshop becomes a platform and will temporarily be showing different works and visions to a broad audience.

For the first edition, painter Kevin Welslau was invited. Graduated from Sint Lucas Antwerp Kevin Welslau is currently working in Atelier Solarshop on his artworks. His utopian paintings and natural elements form strong contrasts with the reality of our modern 'concrete jungle'.

SEPTEMBER 19TH '08 - EXHIBITION Anouk Peeters

2009-02-15T11:51:00.000-08:00

Anouk Peeters is one of the active artists that founded Atelier Solarshop.
As a jewelry designer she creates concepts for installations which she later translates into jewelry.

The fragile form floating and hoovering in the space absorbs the viewer while dominating ones space and view.
