A work about the relationship between the body and facades

Stones are stacked, the façade that comes from it offers safety.

It will bring a border and a opening. Facades are protected and decorated.

The body search for a safe space, gets decorated, but if it can’t find one, it becomes stiff.

Repeating the thing that does feel trustworthy.

It will hold its own, till it can’t anymore. It cracks under the pressure.

Instead of hiding behind a façade it will become one.

Een Ode Aan

Babs Groote Schaarsberg

My collection consists of sculptures centered around the body, paying homage to the Bottermarkt in my village Raalte and the Salland traditional attire. It is not a repetition of the original, but a personal interpretation meant to astonish and engage people, so these traditions won’t disappear. The title Een Ode Aan gives me freedom in my creative process and invites the audience to wonder and be intrigued, just as I feel when I walk through the Bottermarkt.

The sand path museum

I cherish both my present and my past. Besides a space for high-profile art, one of my rooms also houses the Zandpad Museum. Here, I'll tell you about my illustrious past and introduce you to people who know me well—inside or out. Sit on my stool, gaze out the window, and listen to the many stories surrounding my life.

Short documentary 'The Sand Path'

The Zandpad Museum is screening a short documentary about the history of the Zandpad. You'll also find numerous audio clips of conversations with various people involved, including a former sex worker and former mayor Aleid Wolfsen.

This Zandpad documentary was made by Sylvie Kamphuis & Jaap Pronk (director), Bram Engelaar (camera), Doenja Abel (production), Twan Bracco Gartner (music), and Bald Beeld (editing). Thanks to the interviewees: Aleid Wolfsen (former mayor of the Municipality of Utrecht), Brenda Oude Breuil (criminologist at Utrecht University), Jannie Teunissen (De Tussenvoorziening), the former sex worker, and the former client of Zandpad. The documentary was made possible in part by the Municipality of Utrecht, KF Heinfonds, Mondriaanfonds, and RTV Utrecht.
