223m is the result after a week of research with all the five SoAP artists together. It became a performative walk in-and-outside a black box theatre. A contemplative but active tour created by Johannes Bellinkx, Rita Hoofwijk, Nick Steur, Breg Horemans en Benjamin Vandewalle. “After a few years of reflecting on each others works we now wanted to realize a piece together. Can we find synergy in combining our artistic qualities and materialize them in a new piece of art?” 233m was created and shown for the first time during Beyond the black box festival 2019, Brakke Grond, Amsterdam.

Our very first FULL MOON FREEZE happens at the first day of spring. Enjoy contemplative art and performances in full moonlight. Historian, author and poet David van Reybrouck will open this event, artist Rita Hoofwijk presents a try-out of With Out Me and Nick Steur gives you the latest version of FREEZE with aftertalk.

During the Culture Summer Opening 2019 “HEIMAT/EN” near Mainz Steur performs FREEZE: Small in approach, big in ideas. When he was a child he balanced rocks on top of each other. At a crucial time in his artistic career, he rediscovered this skill and created a performance with mind-boggling stone sculpturing. No glue, cement or any other trick is involved. it’s all about concentration and “finding the balance between your own force of will, and that of the stone”.

FULL MOON FREEZE is an initiative of David Van Reybrouck and Nick Steur and happens every two months during you guessed it – full moon! Enjoy an evening with contemplative art and performances at KANS – Kunst Atelier Nick Steur.  If you would like to join please send an email to nicksteur@gmail.com.

A performative piece by Nick Steur and Matea Bakula is in creation. In WE DO MATTER both artist manipulate the materials they often work with; stone and pur. Materials that are chemically so far apart from each other, now brought together. They will give a first glimpse of the project during two afternoons including lunch and aftertalk with the artists. By invitation only. By professional interest: please send an email to nicksteur@gmail.com

For a whole day on a long stretch of grass in the Royal Park, Dutch performer and visual artist Nick Steur creates fifty sculptures. Each sculpture is composed of two stones, chosen by the passers-by out of a hundred. Nick Steur then enters the greatest concentration to make them hold one on top of the other in balance on a metal stud. Steur: I would like to invite you to stay a bit longer. I will also ask you to make no pictures at all. This might feel counterintuitive, but it creates an opportunity to fully experience this moment together.

During the festival Les tombées de la nuit in Rennes France, Steur performs FREEZE: Small in approach, big in ideas. When he was a child he balanced rocks on top of each other. At a crucial time in his artistic career, he rediscovered this skill and created a performance with mind-boggling stone sculpturing. No glue, cement or any other trick is involved. it’s all about concentration and “finding the balance between your own force of will, and that of the stone”.
