Zon op Zuid

A community project in Arnhem zuid, with streets. The idea is that each of the 20 artists will work together with one street for a year to create a artistic project with the street community. On the 14th and 15th of May 2011 the project will present itsself during a huge manifestation that aims to reach the national press.
Arnhem zuid has a less than cultural allure nationally. Zon op zuid is a very ambitious and proffessional project that will  definately change your view on Arnhem Zuid.

De Glazen Carroussel NL

In deze workshop leert u de beginselen van de tiffany techniek. Uw ramen worden vervolgens in een grote Glazen Carroussel gehangen, om als een groot kunstwerk tijdelijk in de wijk Schuytgraaf te staan. Na afloop van de tentoonstelling neemt u uw raam mee naar huis.

Voor meer info over tijden en prijzen lees deze flyer.


Het idee van de glazen carrousel is ontstaan uit het idee om een gezamelijk kunstwerk in glas te maken met onbekende mensen. Het idee om een beeldendwerk neer te zetten wat ingevuld wordt door de buurt/ de mensen sprak me erg aan.De glazen carrousel is een stalen frame met cirkelvormige openingen waarin glas gehangen kan worden.Workshop deelnemers maken een raam en kunnen na afloop hun werk in de carroussel hangen.Aan het einde van een workshop serie (4 workshops) is er een feestelijke opening van de carrousel waar alle deelnemers hun werk in het geheel kunnen zien.Alle ramen samen vullen het frame en er ontstaat een draaiend glas object van formaat, buiten.

Turtles

Imagine tens of hundreds of thousands of turtles somewhere, moving.

SnowWhiteWatch

SnowWhiteWatch is a collaboration between choreographer Lorenzo Borella and Frederik Rombach. The design and building of this glass house was conceived as a project that would never be finished. Instead the glass panels, flatfused secondhand wine bottles, and a freeform steel frame would be a starting point. The collaboration has to do with movement, light, symbolism and craftsmanship.

Why we wait

Why we wait is a project in glass made by people, depicting people. Each step in the process of giving this project form, is easily communicable. This is why everbody can do it. Each person that works and learns in this project is part of a craft, and has a part in the design of the whole. Each symbolic form is a person, how they connect, what they express, is all in the hand of that one person, at that one time.

The realized product, a 5 meter long display has been incorperated into the facade of a bar in Arnhem, NL; cafe Barok, on the Zwanenstraat 4.

Signs #1

An exit sign in a hallway that may save your life. Made for this purpose, but do we really look at this sign? Do we really look at the signs around us at all? "signs" try to show us with humour and style, that we don't always pay attention to the most obvious things.

The green sign has had a place in a shop, in a house and is now hanging at the new information center for architecture, urbanism and design:
casa+gang+opa

Signs is for RENT: Prices vary according to situation, duration, and amount. For more information, info@rombachs.nl

Lightposts

These lampposts give a landscape form and direction.

During the day normal lampposts have no function, These lampposts do. At night these lampposts are different. They are hardly there.
During the day the lamposts are there as a small filter through which one can see the landscape, the sky.

I would like to make lightposts in a landscape, and would like public to be able to see and enjoy it.The realization of lightposts, in colour and texture, as well the amount of lightposts, depends entirely on the context in which it is set.
