Seven artists with studios at C3 Studios in Rotterdam Charlois—Christine Saalfeld, Koes Staassen, Ruud Goedhart, Lotus Rooijakkers, Ovidiu Spaniol, Iza van de Baar, and Anastasia Eggers—present work that focuses on direct experience. Their practices differ in medium and form, but share a clear position: art is not an illustration of an idea, but an encounter that takes place physically.
From Staassen's yearning collages to Goedhart's subtle shifts in the everyday, from Saalfeld's drawn urban movements to Eggers' sensory archive of the river—the exhibition slows down, sharpens, and puts the body back at the center. Lotus's work, Triple 20, revolves around bizarre aspects of darts, and Ovidiu's work is titled "As if gravity forgets its language."
