The International Context
A Complete and IllustratedOverview of her Oeuvre

Eja Siepman van den Berg holds a unique position in both Dutch ánd European art. From the early 1970s onwards, she has positioned herself in an elaborate contexts of figurative sculpture.

At first sight, the human body is Siepman van den Bergs 'prime subject'. But on a closer inspection, Siepman van den Berg transcends the merely figurative. Her body of work responds to more fundamental matters of sculpture, to the meaning of scale, symmetry and proportion--a mathematical approach to the organic-- and to the intrinsic qualities of her materials, bronze and stone.

An Italian Adventure - Eja Siepman van den Berg and Michelangelo's Cave

10/15/2020

Pietrasanta: Heart of Italian Marble

For several years now, Eja Siepman van den Berg has been working with craftsmen from the renowned Italian center of sculpture, Pietrasanta. Michelangelo himself recognised the beauty of the Carrara white marble extracted from the quarries around Pietrasanta. Not only did he use it for his own sculptures but he also worked in the marble quarries himself.

Five centuries ago Michelangelo travelled by foot and mule to the region of Pietrasanta, selecting the marble blocks for his work. Towns at the foot of these mountains have since attracted internationally acclaimed sculptors like Jean Arp, Jacques Lipschitz and Isamu Noguchi.

Henry Moore, who owned a house here in the 60's and 70's, reveled when he first saw the marble quarries of Pietrasanta: "I was like a little child seeing the window of a sweet shop."

Tradition and Innovation

Today, however, Pietrasanta is not only known for its traditional craftsmanship. After all, tradition here goes hand in hand with the most modern digital techniques. That is one of the reasons why Eja Siepman van den Berg collaborates with the renowned Studio Stagetti, in Pietrasanta.

Eja Siepman van den Berg at Projectruimte Hoofdstraat 17, Beetsterzwaag

10/14/2020

The Projectruimte Hoofdstraat 17 in Beetsterzwaag is a exhibition space and international culture platform.

The stately block-shaped building at the centre of Beetsterzwaag was erected in 1837 as 'Grietenij van Opsterland'. A 'grietman' was then the name for mayor. A 'Grietenij' was a forerunner of the current Dutch municipality in Friesland. After 1851, with the introduction of the municipal law, the building was used as a town hall.

Nowadays, a fresh wind blows at the former 'Grietenij': art and culture have now taken the place of law and administration.

The exhibitions at the Projectruimte Hoofdstraat 17 are known for their versatility, with attention for painting, sculpture, ánd other art forms.
