On Monday, February 23, artist Bart Eysink Smeets opens the new season of studium resort with ๐๐ค๐ค๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ต. In his work, personal passions such as football, birdwatching, and flower arranging flow naturally and playfully into his practice. What begins as leisure gradually takes shape as art.
Ellis Kat will be in conversation with Bart about his artistic practice. How do these passions influence his work? And when does a hobby become labor, or the other way around? After the conversation, we will get to work ourselves. In a flower-arranging workshop, combined with other hobbies from Bartโs universe, we will work with flowers from the neighborhood. From his perspective as an artist, we will collectively explore where play turns into work, and where work might once again become play.

Bart Eysink Smeets (1988) is a visual artist and filmmaker. Through his work, Eysink Smeets amplifies the absurdity of everyday life. A love for simple, strange ideas runs through all of his artistic projects. He once stood with a kitchen on the tidal flats near Terschelling, which disappeared underwater at high tide, and his documentary Bart and the Stone That Went Home was broadcast on NPO2 by VPRO. In the film, he returned a glacial erratic to its place of origin after 200,000 years.
Bart often begins his projects from familiar hobbies. Birdwatching, for example, became an attempt to photograph birds perched on plastic figurines of those same birds, while flower arranging was transformed into a photographic series in which he cut the flowers themselves into squares.
