 For the site-specific exhibition, PLOT, artist Marijke Appelman has produced two new works. They are based on the time she spent between Istanbul and Amsterdam during the first week of her residency at &Foam
.
Closing The Gap (video installation with soundscape) and Because It Is About Time (sculpture) reflect on time, space and patterns. They will be shown as part of the Film &Foam programme.

Marijke Appelman (Haarlem, 1979) lives and works in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Her works are based on an appreciation of art and life. Both poetic and straightforward, everyday situations and materials are used in installations, objects, performances and video. The result is a kind of environmental art, but one whose environment is cultural instead of natural.

Appelman's work will be on show from 6 December 2012  until 6 January 2013, with an official opening on 6 December from 17.30 at &Foam, Vijzelstraat 78.
