Next spring Museum Beelden aan Zee will present the first solo exhibition by Ana Oosting (1985). She is not only an artist but also a neurobiologist. This unique combination typifies the core of her work. Oosting views the world through the lenses of art as well as science. Her site-specific installations based on research invite us to explore non-human perspectives. They are immersive in nature, encouraging the viewer make an active connection with the work.

Seascape
Ana Oosting is making a site-specific installation especially for the museum of ten large, gentle creatures that seem to be floating effortlessly through the air. The work is based on the earlier work Changing the Gaussian Curvature. The artist makes the creatures come to life by means of hyper-accurate folding, embodying the idea that even inanimate matter can perform, rather than being mere subjects to the human will. A mesmerizing seascape that may be familiar unfolds in the space. This familiarity is no coincidence. Ana Oosting teamed up with scientists to recreate the wave patterns of the nearby North Sea. This is accompanied by a haunting melody—perhaps reminiscent of the song of a whale, the whisper of coastal winds, or the thunderous sound of waves crashing against the shore.

Curator: Louise Bjeldbak Henriksen.
