		<description>  ‘DE NATUUR KEEK TERUG.’

Interview met Patricia de Ruijter over haar nieuwe werk.

Door Jowi Schmitz

Wild Nature in the City

Lamp
Ik zie overal plantjes. Op openbare plekken, gewoon midden op een weg. Ze trekken zich heel weinig van mensen aan. En toch, zo’n stad gaat ervan ademen. De sprietjes, de planten, ik weet dat het op dit moment heel hip is om eigen groente te verbouwen in de stad, ‘urban farming’. Maar als je goed kijkt staat er al een complete medicinale tuin om je heen. En niet alleen medicinaal, zo’n plantje spreekt al je zintuigen aan. Het is mooi van kleur, of het ruikt lekker. En het is gratis. 

Ratio en gevoel
Ik zet een lamp op de natuur, daarmee ga ik tegen de mode in. De mode is juist om rationeel te blijven, te filosoferen, afstand te houden. Er verscheen een boek waarin technologie met natuur werd vergeleken. Denk aan een file en hoe die zich beweegt. Of de manier waarop internet groeit. Allemaal natuur, zegt dat boek. Dat is natuurlijk interessant en inspirerend enerzijds, maar ook eendimensionaal. Want als ik voor de computer zit voel ik me niet ‘verbonden’ met wat zich op het scherm bevindt. Ik kan het niet ruiken. Niet proeven. Natuur is veel zintuiglijker. Dat wil ik laten zien. Ik zoek naar de ervaring van versmelten, van gewaarworden en beschouwen. Sterker nog, als het aan mij ligt mag die scheiding tussen ratio en gevoel per direct worden opgeheven. Hoe kun je nou zien wat er om je heen speelt als je er niet ook gevoelsmatig aan deelneemt?

Visvorm
Ik kan uren naar een zakje in het water kijken. Iedere dag kom ik terug om te zien hoe het met het zakje bij de kustlijn gaat. Soms ligt het iets naar links, soms iets naar rechts. Het zwemt heel mooi, het wordt langzaam bruin. Het blijft ergens aan haken en krijgt dan een soort vinnen, precies op de plek waar het logo zit. Alsof het water het plastic tot natuur transformeert. De vorm van een vis door de vorm van het water. 

Op de knieën
Bij natuurfoto’s denken veel mensen aan clichéschoonheid. Zoals er ook zoveel clichéfoto’s van vrouwen zijn. Eind 2010 had ik de behoefte om in te zoomen. Ik vroeg me af wat er zou gebeuren als ik het perspectief van de plant koos. Dus ging ik op de knieën. Letterlijk. Ik bekeek de wereld vanuit het perspectief van de plant. Zo keek ik naar de natuur en wat bleek? De natuur keek terug.
De foto’s groeiden. Hoe meer ik fotografeerde hoe meer ik verbonden raakte met de natuur. Typisch zoiets dat nauwelijks uit te leggen is. Of misschien zo: ik zou nog eerder geen groente eten dan geen vlees.

Workshop: Natuurdwalen op het landgoed Noganets in Zuid west Frankrijk

Via kunst en met kennis van eetbare planten dwalen we met de vijf zintuigen door de natuur.
 De bedoeling hiervan is door middel van fotografie, beweging, tekenen en plantenkennis, de omgeving te ervaren en te verbinden met het zelf. We openen onze zintuigen zodat we voluit van het leven kunnen genieten.
De workshop vindt plaats op het landgoed Noganets, in het prachtige, bosachtige, glooiende boerenland, waar doorheen de rivier de Aveyron meandert.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Op 5 mei werden er in Amsterdam in het kader van bevrijdingsdag verschillende bevrijdingsmaaltijden in A'dam georganiseerd

Onder de titel   “Wild nature in the City”  organiseerde ik op 5 mei een Stadsplantendiner met expositie op de Rijkshemelvaartdienst  

Samen wilde planten verzamelen:
 4 mei gingen we met o.a. planten deskundige Claud Biemans, en Ellen van de paardjes wilde planten zoeken, bekijken en verzamelen.
We inspireerde topkok Conan met verschillende wilde planten recepten en hij bereide een heerlijk diner voor 50 personen.

Diner:
Brandnetel soep met madeliefjes en zelfgebakken brood met zeven bladpesto!
*Aardappel gratin met zevenblad , look zonder look, en fenegriek kaas.
*Salade met muur, look zonder look, wilde veldsla , zuring, en dovenetel bloemtjes, spinazie,
*Gebakken smeerwortelbladeren met geitenkaas daar tussen. 
*En een burgertje met brandnetel, zeven blad,...

De exposerende kunstenaars waren:
Riette Wanders met krachtige houtskool tekeningen.  Er  was een bijdrage met een foto van Marnix Goossens. Ludmillia Rodrigues i.s.m. Daniel Berio liet haar ontwikkeling zien van een groWorld workshop in Artcience afdeling van het KABK. Jefta Hoed zong:  een ode aan de Wilde stadsplanten.  En Andres van Beek had een installatie gemaakt van  prachtige gereconstrueerde lampjes en tekeningen.  Zelf exposeerde ik  mijn nieuwste foto’s gemaakt in de Oeverlanden en mijn expressionistische inkt tekeningen.Tijdens het diner vertelde  Claud Biemans natuurkundige en florist, hartlustig iets  over:
De woekerende stadsnatuur - angst en verwondering

 Sinds 2003  ben ik als mens, kunstenaar en curator geiinspireerd door de relatie “stad” en “wilde natuur”. De omgeving van de Rijkshemelvaart waar ik nu sinds 20 jaar woont is nog steeds een sterke inspiratiebron. Op deze plek valt  de stad en de natuur op een bijzondere manier samen. De snelweg A4 gaat over in een natuurgebied, de stad in een weiland. Het geluid van een vliegtuig valt samen met zingende vogels. Elk voorjaar groeien de eetbare wilde planten weer tussen het beton en door de muren. En drink ik verse vlier en brandnetelthee,  maak Sint Janskruid olie. En gebruik  wilde planten in het diner. Het is hier verrassend, nooit helemaal af, er groeit hier altijd wel wat vanzelf. En dat voelt goed in Nederland, waar alles zo maakbaar is geworden. Wilde planten en bloemen zijn niet alleen prachtig, vaak eetbaar en medicinaal. Ze zijn ook een symbool voor  vrijheid en onafhankelijkheid.

Creation:
 * Title: Raw Space as design photographic works: (1987-present)
Very early, while on the city's fringe (Amsterdam and Barcelona), I got the idea of Raw Space as Design.
It all started with 'comfort zones'. I photographed the places where I lived and worked, places I felt personal ties with.I wanted to show the essence of those spaces, the room to experiment.These were unfinished, pioneering places, places that invited you to create, to go beyond the visible. One could see the constant movement of creation versus destruction.This produced a sense of wholeness, of connecting with nature.To show the importance and beauty of these cityscapes and still lives I call these works ‘Raw Space as Design’.
 This serial includes at this moment 45 photographs.

*Publication of my photographs and statement in the Nirov Magazine.

*Title: White and Dirty  Installation
An other expression of ‘Raw Space as Design’, titled ‘White and Dirty’, was an installation consisting of found white materials, poetry and projections, challenging the audience to participate. They could write texts in space using an overhead projector, enabling the visitors to not just be part of chaos, but also making them aware of the poetic side of raw creation.

Texts written by visitors on this stll live:

*She expected someone every time the door opened*
*Actually, I think we should ask these questions in the opposite direction*
*self-rising flour*

NewLand
For the Newland project I travelled  together with Klaas Kuitenbrouwer to New York and Iceland. New York is the ultimate city: fast, raw,modern, anonymous, technological. Iceland is the ultimate wilderness: rough, mostly uninhabited, vulcanic. We had discovered certain
similarities in the way we love the big city and rough nature. Of both places the rawness is attractive as well as the feeling of space. The intellectual freedom entices us in the city, the physical freedom in nature. 

Nowadays, as a result of the media landscape and the availability of fast transport, the experience of hopping from one reality to another has become more and more common. Traveling has become more like ‘zapping’ . In the same way films on different channels are edited
into a new one by the experienced TV –watcher with his remote control, physically distant places are knitted together in one’s experience by the fast traveler. We want to investigate this phenomenon.

The flight from Amsterdam to New York stops over in Reykjavik. We zap ourselves from the New York wilderness to the Icelandic wild, places we perceive as connected because they are complementary. We approachthese places with a similar attitude and as artists we transplant with sound, words, film and photographs aspects between New York and Iceland. In this way we create NewLand, a place that satisfies our desire to be a pioneer.

NewLand was created in 1998 it was the first  step in the third direction.

Test-Portal international now Art festivals.
General:
Working as an artist/curator I created the Test-Portal International nowArt exhibition in 2003 and 2005, both editions involving the participation of about forty artists Test-Portal international now-Art took place in the gigantic Docklandshal at the NDSM-wharf in Amsterdam.
Of special note was the architectural treatment of this vast space: creating a fluid, flowing structural shape.
A city of poetry by night, a transparant formation based on a dynamic principle. A place to celebrate the individual as well as the whole.

Test-Portal 2003
During the first Test-Portal I strived to bring an experience to both artists and visitors alike. That combination was very important! Artists were all assigned a part of the enormous space to present their individual works, their worlds or philosophies. But they also transgressed their (assigned) space, crossing borders. I stimulated cooperation between artists and they in turn annexed new, unexpected space, their interaction producing an unpredictable and exiting result. This was essential to Test-Portal: openness towards the unexpected.

http://www.test-portal.nl/tp03/index2.html

 Test-Portal 2005: City with Breathing space.
Test-Portal 2005 researched the concept of "Space" on several levels. The way in which this was addressed was -and still is- contemporary: how much space do we let others have? Where are the borders? Who or what controls them?
 
&#60;img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/5/177584/2653900/DSC_0064.jpg" width="670" height="315" width_o="709" height_o="334" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/5/177584/2653900/DSC_0064_o.jpg" data-mid="13904797"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
















What space can an artist create in a progressively compartmentalized but globalise society?
Can art have an essential, critical influence on our social-political reality by becoming borderless?

'Borders' are in fact entirely fictitious illusions, besides being interchangeable and different to everybody!
  
A globalise world and traveling on the internet make it clear: there are no borders, except for those we create ourselves. As old manmade boundaries are not self-evident anymore, it is interesting to rediscover what binds us universally. To do this we should readjust our concept of our bonds.

*Founder of the Test-Portal now Art gallery 2009- 2010
 www.test-portal.nl
With the Test-Portal now Art gallery I experimented with the concept of 'gallery', exploring the boundaries of what a gallery can be. A place that is as much a gallery as an art institute. There were 'plain' exhibitions (just showing works) but also thematic exhibitions and exhibitions inviting audience participation. The experiment depended on subsidies but also sales.

Ten exhibitions
Test-Portal now Art gallery led to ten very different exhibitions.
An overview:
* Opening exhibition with  Stanza, pieterWpostma, and myself.
*“Wild nature in the City” part 1, with the artists: Ernst Coppejans en Marc Driessen 

Wild nature in the City part 2 with Bodine Koopmans, Rob van Betuw, Sanne Thunissen and myself. Also participation by bloggers, like Femke Lutgerink on Detroit, Koert van Mensvoort on Next Nature and Claud Biemans on wild vegetables and the biodiversity of a city.
See what we explored http://www.test-portal.nl/blog/?cat=42

*”Emotive male nudity” with Milan Gies.
*”We want our Utopia now” with Merel Zwart.
*”Looking at the pain of others” with Mieke Bal, Marjolein Edwall, Juliette Erkelens and Sanne Thunissen.
*”The inner world of” with MiaMia, Bart Sabel, Marina Metaal, Bethany de Forest and  Rob van Betuw.
*An exhibition with the artists Monique Eller, Milan Gies , Riette Wanders.
*”the city, a living organism!” with Stanza, Renata de Andrade.
*”Ins Blaue Hinein” with Marc Koolen, Rombout Oomen, Janneke de Jong.

2011/ 2012
I focus on my personal photographic Art work. The subject "Wild nature in the City" has stolen my heart.

		<description>There are not as many walls as you think. And they are breaking down before your eyes.The city creeps into nature, and cultures mingle, while reality and digital-reality morph rapidly into each other... and imagination sneaks in too, something I love.
Everything underneath the image is interpretation, feeling: mostly inner space (which I, paradoxically, want to show on the outside). They are tangible symbols for intangible longing or feelings. An attempt at wholeness.Contemporary, because the landscape feels partly digital. The work is literally about travel, but also about movements on the web. As such, it reaches beyond the horizon.

		<description>No-land is a photographic installation and is an ongoing project.

Introduction 
In a dynamic poetic installation I bring together different forms of experiencing space. It is about the mood of an un reclaimed or abandoned space where one can reinvent oneself time and again. This space urges one to discover, to fantasize and create. Not much is fixed yet, there are traces to be found that incite the mind - traces of an eventful past and a distant future. 

I apply to it the following keywords: raw / un reclaimed / original
In combination with: digital / futuristic / cosmic.

Motivation
 I often long to move on to a new era or a different space. A place that isn’t all too defined: No –Land. Even before I started making photos I looked for these places.
 It is a returning theme in all of my work. It is about raw spaces that are just there for a moment of time, but feel very tangible to me. Photos of abandoned urban places. Abstract coloured levels, movements of light, recorded by my camera. Solidified paths of energy,  data and traffic. The feeling of being en-route in an endless space. Primordial landscape where space is defined by itself.
All these photographs have some sense of desolation, but also represent romance, adventure, and escaping the mundane. No –Land is also a state of mind and there is no religion, no politics, no state. 

The form of the installation
The basis of the installation is extremely large photographic prints displayed 
double-sided light boxes (175 x 275 x 30 cm). These light boxes can stand upright 
on the ground. The installation uses four light boxes.
Objects to sit or lay on. And a overhead projector where the public can draw or write on to project their additive in the space. No-Land explicitly poses this question to its public: What do you leave behind for the next passer-by, in a land that starts allover again? 
Together it makes a strong atmospheric environment where you can walk through or stay in a while!

 A special plan focused on the location will be made.
No-Land can grow or shrink it depends of the place. Even on box can express the concept! In a dialogue with me and the organizers of the exhibition also other artist 
can add something by way of a performance or an intervention in the space. 

The project gets revisited regularly since 2007 and now. Please contact if you are interested: patricia@mediakaal.nl

The audience and fresh (international) artists are challenged to react to this space. Every exhibition site invites a new experiment.

		<description>I am living at the border of the City Amsterdam. Between the Airport Schiphol, a lake called New Lake, the motorway A4, and a nature area called, The Oeverlanden. I observe this area with my camera and display this contemporary landscape with it hybrid forms.
