December to January Free entrance
A nomadic platform for exhibitions within Treehouse NDSM. Each month, a different project in a different empty space. For the 4th edition, we will use our meeting room (yellow cabin on the 1st floor) to showcase a presentation by Vico Persson.
4th EDITION | "Creatures of Mass-production & Reveries" – a sculptural art installation by Vico Persson
Explore the merging of readymade objects and organic materials, in an exhibition that will evolve over the course of 1 month. Through a series of sculptures, Vico Persson will investigate the relation between mass-produced commercial objects, and organic, handmade expressions. Mixing materials such as plastic bottles and cans with wood, and clay, the project blurs the lines between the synthetic and the natural, offering a space where these contrasting elements merge into unique, abstract sculptures that the artist considers "living creatures".
The project will unfold in three phases:
Phase 1: Dec 9–12 - Material Lab
Time: 14h - 19h
Dive into the raw materials and objects before the sculptures take shape, and help the artist examine the meaning and history of the various objects he has collected.
On Dec 12, during NDSM GET LOST, join artist Vico Persson for a short talk and peek into the materials.
Phase 2: Dec 13–30 - Sculpture Factory
Time: Every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 14h - 19h
Watch the sculptures take shape as they are created in an ongoing dialogue between materials. You're welcome to visit the pop-up project space to engage with the process and speak to the artist. Or visit any time during Treehouse opening hours to see the work-in-progress through the windows.
Phase 3: Jan 3 - 9 - Exhibition
Time: 17h - 21h (on Jan 3), 14h - 19h for the remaining days
Experience the final sculptures in an immersive installation. Join us for the opening reception on Jan 3 , or visit daily from Jan 4 through Jan 9.
Finnisage on January 9 from 19h to 22h with musical interpretation by double bass player Lorenzo Servali.
About Vico Persson | Website
Vico Persson is a visual artist and exhibition maker, working from his studio at Treehouse NDSM since 2023. In his creative work, he freely mixes drawing, painting, and photography to create mixed-media collages. These systematically combine two kinds of realities, inviting the viewers to reflect on their own perceptions of the world, and possibly question their own truths.
Even though the works often take abstract forms, they are deeply rooted in concrete ideas drawn from everyday life, technology, and literature.
