Solo exhibition ‘Esférica’/Nurturing Spheres won the open call by the Dutch Embassy in Brasil on the subject of ‘Habitable Spaces’. As the exhibition focuses on the question how to make our environment more nurturing for people and planet, it was the perfect match with the theme of this open call. The support of the embassy has been crucial in realizing both the exhibition and the opening.

For the fifth edition of the group exhibition ‘Circular na Praça’, initiated by Farah Service, on Praça Adolpho Bloch, a park in the hart of São Paulo, Brazil, curator Marc Pottier invited artists to re-interpret Neo Concretism.

Acompanied by Kura Arte in Sao Paulo, Janet Vollebregt created the installation ‘Tree Talismans’ for this exhibition.

The Installation Love Hurts consists of two wall totems in brass and rose quartz. The totems are symbols of love and protection. At the same time, they are spears with slices of rose quartz ‘meat’. The works invite us to question what we take from the earth. What nurtures us can imply a sacrifice elsewhere. Are we conscious of that? Should we consume or not? Are we giving something back to the earth?
