UNITY ART SCREENING • PLASTIQUE FANTASTIQUE
Plastique Fantastique is an art group exploring urban possibilities with ephemeral architecture, with a long history and statements in their archive of plastic actions with pneumatic environments. They started their first architectural installations in Berlin, back at the end of the nineties, beginning of the 2000s, making important statements about the urban space, creating temporary, low energy consuming spaces, where the main idea is bringing people together for their activation through different creative activities.
#StayOut, one of their recent creations was an artistic response to the pandemic times, defined by them as "A playful experiment between isolation and communication", they placed inflatable environments where they developed performative actions in Berlin, as an invitation to stay out of home "safely" in the new realities we've faced, by the times we all were locked: "Please Stay Out!" Said a metallic voice through speakers giving a sense of dystopian futurism. Watch the full video to see this happening.
Concept, Choreography, Scenography: Plastique Fantastique / Marco Canevacci und Yena Young
Dramaturgy: Anna Anderegg / Asphalt Piloten
Performance: Adaya Berkovich, Daniel Brandl, Maria De Faria, Karlotta Frank, Beatriz Marco, Valerie Renay, Mona Sharifi, Yena Young
Many thanks for the support and cooperation to the Haus der Statistik in Berlin
The iSphere
In times of lockdown, we wonder about the mutation of our social life and the effects of the deprivation of physical touch. iSphere represents the art installations of Plastique Fantastique on a smaller scale and the perspective into the post-pandemic world.
Starting from April 27th 2020, it is mandatory to cover mouth and nose in public transports in Berlin. The iSphere is an open-source project that everybody can produce, develop and improve. Additional gadgets can give a unique touch to any iSphere: it can have a sunshade, a mirrored layer, an integrated microphone, a speaker, a ventilator, or a snorkel.
The iconic design is inspired by the science fiction comics of the 50s and the creations of the utopian movements of the 60s; it is pop, and it belongs to everybody. The iSphere is a funny and serious object that stimulates how to approach this exceptional situation.
Many thanks to Marco Barotti for all his support and the video and photo shooting.
Marco Canevacci (Mr. Trouble) and Yena Young (Mr. Bubble) are the Directors of Plastique Fantastique and have collaborated often also with us, PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Berlin and Platoon - The Global Creative Alliance, since our days in that thriving & creative Berlin in which we were also part of.

UNITY ART SCREENING • EVELINE VAN DE GRIEND
United For Social Justice!
For Dutch painter and sculptor Eveline Van de Griend, the friction between the past and present makes for a lot of unsettled power.
That’s the first thing that strikes you about her often uncomfortable images, which feature beautifully painted scenes evoking renaissance imagery with an unflinchingly honest twist of modernity. It’s her strand of work that deals most heavily with the aftermath of post-colonialism—a particular resonance drawn from a peripatetic upbringing in Africa, England and Russia before returning to the Netherlands and currently also working from Berlin, Germany.
Van de Griend believes that the aim of Art is to present not the outward appearance of things, but their inner significance; for this, not the external manner and detail, constitutes true reality.”
Twinned with her ongoing Art For Gold project—where she makes portraits of people who donate gold to be melted down into a work to be installed at the South African National Gallery in Cape Town on Freedom Day— they read like a call for social justice.
Her work is often referred to as
“A MODERN INTERPRETATION OF THE OLD DUTCH MASTERS”.
In her new series inspired by early Dutch master Hieronymus Bosch, van de Griend’s insertion of people of color into classical settings reaches a level both sinister and surreal. The potency of her message is worthy subject matter for such a grand comparison, and forms the basis of shows in Germany, the Netherlands and Mexico.
PICTURES FROM LIFE´S OTHER SIDE
These large size oil paintings are characterized by haunting figures in surreal landscapes, mystery and questions abound in the works and mirror the aesthetic of Bosch.
Heaven and hell are visualized by separate rooms in this work. You can find all the 12 paintings of the Reincarnation of Jheronimus Bosch series here:

Original Paintings and art commissions can be requested directly to the artist.
Eveline Van de Griend has exhibited her paintings in various occasions at PLATOON KUNSTHALLE Berlin & PLATOON MEXICO CITY, we are happy we could present her work also in digital form at Garden of Unity Seoul !
