Jeremy Bakker and Angela Pye

Jeremy Bakker is a visual artist from Melbourne, Australia who works across a variety of mediums including drawing, sculpture, photography and object-based artwork. He is interested in fugitive ways that complex ideas can be held within simple things. Jeremy applies manual processes and discreet gestures to commonplace objects and materials as a way of opening up a range of thoughts about time, presence and absence, impermanence, mortality and meaning.

Angela and Jeremy worked collaboratively on a residency project  Echigo-Tsumari Winter festival in Japan in 2012. In her own art practice, Angela explores the notion of intimacy and the relationship between the space of the human body and built environment. 

Jeremy and Angela will use the space and time provided by the residency at DCR to develop ideas for new work and establish new contacts.

Lars Kynde, Tobias Lukassen and Christian Liljedahl (Illutron) for iii

Copenhagen based composer and iii founding member Lars Kynde has invited Tobias Lukassen and Christian Liljedahl from the artist initiative Illutron in Copenhagen to cooperate on the production of a new work, ”Pulse Jet Symphony”, that will be first developed at Illutron and then further developed in The Hague and presented by iii together with Satellietgroep and TodaysArt at the Zandmotor.

Lars Kynde is a composer that delights in creating the instruments on which his compositions are played – in fact these two aspects of music making are not so easily separated in his case and the invention of new instruments and the music created for them melt into surprising new forms.

Inviting the spectator to participate in various ways he uses any media possible to bring the idea to life.  In 2005 he quit a career as computer consultant and civil engineer.

Tobias Lukassen is a sound designer and an artist whose work spans multiple media, through the interest in a balanced combination of science, technology and philosophy.  Since 2011 he has worked in several art, film, theatre and music. In 2016 he will complete his degree in sound design with a focus on acoustics and psychoacoustics.
