Exhibition in Hoorn, Netherlands
Hoorn Stories is a project by British artist Anna Oliver. She will be
making a map of Hoorn, based not on roads and buildings but based on
peoples' experiences. To make the work, she collects stories of events
which have affected people personally and which have happened in Hoorn:
short stories (10-150 words) of what happened, how it made them feel, plus
the location of where it happened.
You can either send your story via internet: http://www.annao.org
or send and e-mail to arrange a time to meet, so your story can be
recorded: [log in to unmask]
Anna Oliver will be in Hoorn from November 2nd until November 16th 2003.
She exhibited in 2002/2003 a.o. in London and Farnham, in The map is not
the Territory with Cornelia Parker, Tracey Emin and others.

For John Pym the religious history of the chapel was the starting point for
the installation Twisted Space: a constructed space that deals with
protection as well as confinement. 'On entering the space, everything looks
normal. This resonance with reality begins to fade as you physically work
your way into the installation and sever your links with the outside world.
Creeping doubt and disorientation begin to manifest themselves. I don’t
remember this? Are we in the right place?'
John Pym and Danielle van Zuijlen (Hotel Mariakapel) met earlier this year
in Melbourne when both took part in the exhibition The Labyrinthine Effect
(Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, with Bruce Nauman, Ilya Kabakov,
Rodney Graham and others; curator: Juliana Engberg.) In Melbourne, Pym
constructed a large labyrinthine installation, gradually becoming narrower
as one went further into the space.

Dutch artist Dirk van Lieshout is a frequent visitor of Hotel Mariakapel
and an advocate of artist run spaces in general. When Hotel Mariakapel
opened its doors in the beginning of 2003, he found it a challenge to
develop new work in the chapel. Since then he came regularly to get to know
the space.
The performance-like character of Dirk van Lieshout's work makes the public
part of his enterprises. During conversations on potential work for Hotel
Mariakapel the following terms passed by: religion, commerce, data base,
nuns, science fiction. Through his inspirations, the chapel can regain its
original function as house of prayer in a contemporary or futuristic way.
