By using various typical building materials in her art – like steel, glass, stone and mirrors – she hopes to shake the viewer awake. We are encouraged to enter her work and explore it, but also to give it more than a cursory look. With her installations the artist comments on the failings in our surroundings, and our own shortcomings as well. \u003ci\u003eNuminoso\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;was created for De Kabinetten of De Vleeshal in Middelburg.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title refers to the silver-colored, mirroring words that stand on the walls, like credit card, credit card, sparkling water, sparkling life, sexo, sunrise, sunset, visions and lexotan (a sleeping pill). Sparkling creations, sunsets, buying on credit, sleeping like a baby – all fantastic things that we long for and even near-venerate. With their help we try to ward off the cares and concerns of everyday life. In a whirl of pleasure and luxury we attempt to ban the notion of ourselves as mere cogs in our contemporary consumption society instead of awakening our consciousness to that fact.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd where does art fit in to all this? Is art also a means of forgetting problems of daily life? Just the contrary, it seems. The words evoke paradisiacal images, but we see ourselves mirrored there. We stand in a superb setting, anything but everyday, but the balustrade and the mirror remind us of recognizable relational situations. In \u003ci\u003eNuminoso\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;Tavares confronts visual art with physical reality, just as she does in her other work, where she comments on non-places like highways, airports and waiting rooms. Here, too, Tavares wants to open viewers’ eyes. Confronting people with their own experiential world and having them think about it – that is the aim of the work of Ana Maria Tavares.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAna Maria Tavares probeert met haar architecturale ingrepen de ruimte rondom ons te herdenken. Door voor haar kunst gebruik te maken van typische bouwmaterialen zoals staal, glas, steen en spiegels probeert ze ook haar toeschouwers wakker te schudden. We worden aangemoedigd om haar werk te betreden en te exploreren, maar ook om verder te kijken dan onze neus lang is. Met haar installaties wijst de kunstenares ons op de gebreken van onze omgeving, maar ook op die van onszelf. \u003ci\u003eNuminoso\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;werd gecreëerd voor De Kabinetten van De Vleeshal in Middelburg.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe titel verwijst naar de zilverkleurige, spiegelende woorden die op de wanden staan, zoals credit card, sparkling water, sparkling life, sexo, sunrise, sunset, visiones en lexotan (een slaapmiddel). Sprankelingen, zonsondergangen, kopen op krediet, slapen als een roos – allemaal fantastische dingen waar we naar verlangen en die we zelfs bijna vereren. Met hun hulp proberen we aan de beslommeringen van elke dag te ontkomen. In een roes van genot en luxe trachten we het idee van onszelf als spil in de hedendaagse consumptiemaatschappij juist te verbannen in plaats van ons er bewust van te zijn.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaar hoe zit het dan met kunst? Is dat ook een middel om de problemen uit het alledaagse leven te vergeten? Juist integendeel, zo blijkt. De woorden roepen paradijselijke beelden op, maar we zien onszelf erin weerspiegeld. We staan in een niet-alledaags schitterend kader, maar de balustrade en de spiegel herinneren ons aan herkenbare verkeerssituaties. Tavares confronteert dus in \u003ci\u003eNuminoso\u003c/i\u003e\u0026nbsp;de beeldende kunst met de fysieke realiteit, net zoals ze dat in haar andere werk doet, waarin ze non-plaatsen zoals snelwegen, vliegvelden en wachtkamers becommentarieert. Ook hier wil Tavares haar toeschouwers de ogen openen. Mensen confronteren met hun eigen leefwereld en hen aanzetten tot reflectie, dat is het doel van het werk van Ana Maria Tavares.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":786,"name":"Ana Maria Tavares","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
