Terschelling is an island that is constantly transforming. ‘Pic Your Day’ is a collaborative photo project that aims to capture the island’s distinct environment through the eye of your mobile phone. Twenty lookout posts have been installed across the island where we invite Oerol goers to stop, look, take a picture, and treasure a moment within nature’s rhythm, all while the festival beats on...
Connected through a like-minded sense of nature's rhythm and the value of community collaboration, Atelier NL has been invited to curate creative expeditions at this year's Oerol festival. We have selected the work of Teresa van Dongen, Jelle Mastenbroek, and Guus Kusters & Maarten Kolk for the way in which their work beautifully conveys the significant relationship between art, nature, science and the landscape of Terschelling.
The eighth ZandGlas edition has been made in collaboration with Rijksmuseum Van Oudheden as part of their exhibition on glass (May 2nd to September 1st) which showcases some of the finest glass pieces from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Netherlands, and elsewhere.
"This studio shows a consistent sensitivity throughout their work, concentrating on local materials and responsible production practices whilst also maintaining a very high level of aesthetics throughout all their projects. They tackle ideas such as sense of place and geographic specificity successfully, making the conversation about sustainable practices a richer one. Using impressively rigorous and interesting design thinking, they create beautiful objects with good craftsmanship."

"A powerful, thoughtfully produced and beautifully executed project that celebrates imperfection, natural materials and local idiosyncrasies, whilst simultaneously salvaging quickly disappearing knowledge."
