Herman van Bergen – Tropisch Koninkrijk

 

From November 29, 2013 till March 14, 2014 Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle, the Netherlands presents the exhibition Tropisch Koninkrijk (Tropical Kingdom). In 2013 the Dutch kingdom is celebrating its 200th anniversary and this exhibition will give an overview of the contemporary visual arts in the Dutch Caribbean: Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, St. Eustatius and St. Maarten.

 

 

Images below show the mixed media installation by Herman van Bergen for the exhibition Tropisch Koninkrijk titled ‘Islas Inutiles offerblok’ (Sacrificial block). It is made of the thorn of the Acacia Tortuosa combined with asphalt, paraffin, wood, carton, steel and tablets made from the earth of Tera Kórà in Curaçao.
The installation measures 3 meters in height and 5 meters in width. It contains 150 terra cotta tablets, the size of a laptop or tablet. Some of these carry an inscription in the Arowak language ‘suchonyuu mmakaa’, meaning ‘child of the earth’.
