Willem Harbers<\/strong> (Rheden 1967)<\/p>

Na afronding van zijn opleiding aan de Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam verhuisde Willem in
1994 naar het Italiaanse Carrara om te studeren en te werken en zo alles aan de weet te komen over
het beeldhouwen in marmer. Hier leefde hij midden tussen de spectaculaire marmergroeves en
ontmoette kunstenaars van over de hele wereld. Het ongerepte marmer, puur natuur uit het hart van
de Apuaanse bergen, maakt sindsdien deel uit van zijn werk.
Zijn sculpturen zien eruit als machines, gereedschappen en apparatuur die soms archa\u00efsch en
futuristisch tegelijk lijken. Ze herbergen een onverklaarbare energie die zichtbaar wordt door speciale
combinaties van materialen. Zo cre\u00ebert hij een sculpturale harmonie die zijn werken tot een
mysterieus amalgaam van materialen en idee\u00ebn maakt. In feite zijn de beelden van Willem Harbers
een soort pacemakers voor de geest, voor de verbeelding.
Het werk van Willem wordt in binnen- en buitenland tentoongesteld in Duitsland, Oostenrijk, Frankrijk,
Turkije, Itali\u00eb en Griekenland. Zijn werk is vertegenwoordigd in vele bedrijfs- en priv\u00e9collecties.
Willem is docent aan diverse opleidingen en geeft met regelmaat lezingen over zijn werk.
Om inzicht te krijgen in de 3 e dimensie geeft Willem masterclasses \u201cruimtelijk leren denken\u201d.
Alle activiteiten van Willem worden op dit moment ondersteund door het Mondriaan Fonds.<\/p>

“Yes, that is something that intrigues me about your work as well. Maybe you\u2019re not a \u201cmad
scientist\u201d after all, but rather an archaeologist of sorts who has come from the distant future,
bringing with him material remains or \u201cevidence\u201d from our contemporary civilization which
he dug up somewhere in an effort to understand mankind in the early twenty-first century.
Because this man from the future has to somehow identify meanings, functions, and
connections which is not always possible from the remote future perspective\u2014he has to
invent them anew based on the few bits and pieces of information that he has already. I guess
that\u2019s why your work sometimes appears both archaic and futuristic at the same time. And
that\u2019s where I can see affinities between your works and those of Panamarenko and Auke de
Vries. You all seem to be talking about contemporary society from a more or less outside
position, as though you were looking at us from an entirely different perspective and
commenting on the absurdities you discover in our culture, trying to figure us out\u2014but not
really grasping everything, so that your perspective is somewhat off. But this being \u201coff\u201d is
what makes the works so fascinating. That\u2019s what makes your works appear so \u201cin between.
Maybe that\u2019s why they can be read in so many different ways, on so many different levels\u2026”<\/p>
