Author Description

In this publication, multidisciplinary artist Wim Wauman presents the results of his artistic doctoral research on the tension between art and (traditional) craftsmanship?Making Waves: A Play with Arts and Crafts.? The author sought (and found?) A learning path ( skill in applications with wood veneer), in collaborations, brainwashing, and in increased (personal) engagement which ultimately led to the experimental?Blauwhaus? complex. At first sight an installation / exhibition designed to work with a?dream team? of guest artists, but also a purifying?twilight zone? that was created to create a creative?flow? and stimulate the imagination.00Wauman compiled the (Blauwhaus) GetijdenBook Book of Tides, in which a selection of his own recent artworks and projects is documented, supplemented with new Dutch or English texts (including hermetic pieces of prose, free verses and letters), a whimsical?FenceCrossPhilosophy?, an encyclopedic? Wikileaks? section and?A Play with Arts and Crafts?. The book also contains a Dutch poem by Leen Huet and illustrated reports on the interventions of dream team employees such as Alice McCabe, Hadewych Becuwe & Kelly Schacht, Hilde Borgermans, Ilse Van Roy, Isabel Bouttens, Maria Degrève, Pieter Léon Vermeersch, Robbert & Frank Frank & Robbert, Veerle Verschooren and Warre Mulder.
