WE TRAVEL | WE EXPERIENCE | WE ENJOY | WE INFLUENCE
WE TRUST | WE INSPIRE | WE CONNECT | WE CREATE
Con questo incipit l’agenzia creativa di origine olandese, ma con sede a Copenhagen, lancia l’ultimo dei suoi progetti. THE JAUNT è una iniziativa artistica che si può definire letteralmente a 360′.
L’obiettivo dell’ambizioso progetto è quello di promuovere una serie di artisti locali e non, in una serie di viaggi creativi volti alla creazione di pezzi unici e riconducibili all’ambiente che avvolgerà l’artista durante la sua permanenza. Il progetto si autofinanzia completamente con la vendita in pre-order delle stampe ad edizione limitata 50x70cm e dopo il successo del primo viaggio nella capitale finlandese di Helsinki il secondo capitolo vedrà il tulipano Collin recarsi nella città portoghese di Porto per alcuni giorni nella metà di giugno.
Di seguito il brief in lingua inglese per presentare ed approfondire meglio il progetto:
”Stepping out of your comfort zone and experiencing new surroundings is often quoted as the main source of inspiration for artists. We aim to provide these inspirations to artists by organizing jaunts. Short and pleasurable excursions or journeys. For each jaunt we will send an artist to a new destination. Once arrived, the artist will soak up all of the local impressions and inspirations. From freshly brewed local coffee to small boutiques, neoclassical architecture, overcrowded tourist sights and whatever else falls in their way.
The artist will work all of these new impressions into a limited edition screen print, thereby creating a unique travel document. The limited edition screen prints are exclusively offered at sight unseen. You know which artist is going to which location, but the outcome is yet to be determined. This way you are part of the inspiration while experiencing the creative process. All at a very affordable price. The screen print will be produced in a limited edition of 50. Orders for the prints can only be made prior to the artist’s journey. If the target of 25 sales has not been reached two weeks before the journey, a full refund for all supporters will be instituted. During the journey the artists will keep a blog and document the many impressions they come across. This way you will be kept up to date with the travels and adventures of the artists, allowing a degree of familiarity with their perspective, before experiencing your new artwork at home.
The second trip of The Jaunt will be taking us to the beautiful coastlines of the city Porto, in Portugal. While the northern provinces of Portugal are known for its production of Port wine, the coastline is widely known for its superb surfing opportunities. Meanwhile the creative center of Portugal is largely based in Porto, as opposed to the capital, Lisbon.
The Dutch artist Collin van der Sluijs is based in Maastricht, in the most southern part of the Netherlands. For his trip he will travel down south even more to enjoy the atmosphere, culture and people of Porto. Collin’s work is best described as the personal pleasures and struggles in his daily life, translated to his own visual language. It will be very interesting to see what he comes back with after spending five days in Porto, and how this translate to his art.
Orders can be placed here (After your order you will receive a confirmation, with all the information you need in case we don’t reach the minimum amount of supporters). Printed on 200grams white paper 3 color screen print50 by 70 cm.
