Bio Hans Kalliwoda

Hans Kalliwoda's work has since the mid 80's focused on the integration of thespectators into his art works, installations and interventions. His potent mixtureof aesthetic and conceptual work has over the years been exhibited in numerousGalleries, Musea and public spaces around the world.

His latest project the World in a Shell - polliniferous project (WiaS) is also ahighly personal accomplishment, in which Kalliwoda continues decades-long tradition of travel and exchange.

Much has happened since he first bicycled across Africa in 1984. His participa-tory painting he sold to a blind lady at a gallery showing, 'The mobile artist andhis drive-in residence' and 'Living in a shoebox in the middle of the road' installa-tions, the 'European-art-train project' showing on 23 European railway stations.

Also, his intervention projects that stimulated Delft University for Technology newparadigms and programs revealing the thrill of exchange and always invites people into his art. Indeed, his WiaS turns conventional notions of visitor-and-hoston its head as he offers hospitality to those who find his extraordinary vehicle - asort of Earth-bound spaceship - in their back yard.

In the framework of autonomy and mobility he plays the guinea pig of his ownexperiments. New ambiguous ventures with the San (Bushmen) and the Inuitpeople will bring a new facet of his work to life. As he creates low threshold situations, aiming the works to be accessible to a truly broad audience, these distant cultures are ready to receive him and offered to host his projects.

Thanks to his curatorial experiences, he also invents and tests innovative media-tion formats that lead us to experience new models of exhibition making that arerelevant to our time. He describes WiaS as being a dream-box where visitorsstart to fantasise and discover the treasures he creates and collects. With his interactive art and symbiotic adventures, Kalliwoda brings romanticismand utopia into the reality of the here and now.

In 1995 Kalliwoda decided to turn his back to the commercial art market, co-funded the Blindpainters Foundation and since created independent projects. Currently he is a PhDArts candidate and researcher at the University of Leiden,the Netherlands.

‘Good art inspires, brilliant art brings about changes’Hans Kalliwoda

‘In business life they (Hans) are called product-champions. People who areappointed to get something difficult done in a large cooperation, and they goall the way to get it right. I like his attitude and the project is technologicallyvery interesting, also for me’.

Ir Theo WoltersDirector Fabrique Invent, Delft

‘Hans helped a lot to create a Delft (University for Technology) where we havenow projects through different faculties, where not science is the only thingthat counts or research output, or education, but where working together be-tween faculties for society is the main goal. ...Thank you very much for whatyou did for Delft’.

Prof. Dr. Ir Han BrezetHead of Sustainability Department Delft University for Technology

Hans Kalliwoda - Portfolio 3Hans Kalliwoda - Portfolio

Polliniferous - PhD research Hans Kalliwoda

The polliniferous project is an investigation into the essential building blocks for asustainable ‘lifestyle’ in the 21-century. It considers diverse sources of knowledgefields and questions how these findings might be compiled and enacted in orderto effectively engage in discourses surrounding impending global, ecological andsystemic crises.

One potential way to respond to these challenges is found in actively researchingtwo related phenomena that present a case of non-sustainability and self-destruc-tion through monoculture in a human and agricultural sense: the Colony CollapseDisorder (CCD) within honeybee populations; and an epidemic of suicide withinindigenous groups like the San and Inuit, whose languages lack the term ‘suicide’.

The underlying reason to link the two phenomena is that they are both valuableexamples of a sustainable lifestyle proven in historical terms, however the existence of both populations has come under pressure of advancing monocultures to which they seemingly have no natural remedy.

Polliniferous [poliniferus] adj., derives from the biological sciences, meaningbearing or yielding of pollen and adapted for carrying pollen. It is here that wefind a metaphor for the artist as an agent for the dissemination of ideas betweenseparate cultural and specialist foci.

Just as the survival of the organic ecosystem is predicated on the spread of pollenso too, that of human civilization is dependent on cross-pollination between theconceptions and practices of Indigenous cultures and those of industrialized, urbancentric culture. Both of these cultures are in a state of collapse, the formerat the hands of the latter, and the latter from apparent unsustainability.

‘I was inspired by the concept of the project as a whole, because it is not onlyabout technology and innovation but also about the mixture of different disci-plines and cultures and by the travelling around with the container and realizeprojects on different locations. So you can say he is designing a micro-cosmosfor a better world from the environmental point of view as well as the intermin-gling of different cultures and people’.

Ir Gabriëlle MurisAdvisor to the Delft University for technology Board of Directors


The World in a Shell (WiaS) 2000-2010

Description the World in a Shell is a walk in sculpture. It was developed as partof an intervention project at the Delft University for Technology in a four-yeartime period.

The installation is mobile, adaptive, off the grid anddraws on renewable natural energy to power and facilitate the modular interiorand infrastructure. An estimated 50 men-years of labour and 75 grants and spon-sors have been contributing.

Europartrain 1995-2000

Description What happens if artists from different cultures work together on atheme ‘territory’ during two weeks? What happens if artists with a differentbackground, language, ideology and discipline install one large space? Whathappens if this space grows in every country? Which borders can art possiblycross in a time zone that is dominated by a uniting or even a globalizing Europe? Let’s put a laboratory on rails and let it roll in an environment whereflexibility, tolerance and respect towards any cultural difference is the key toits growth; society’s fundamental fear for change included.

In suspension, 1989

Description: hanging in mid air, suspended in time ... between spring and

fall in a state of eternal summer ... between cradle and grave, forever

young ... a seat-swing holds us in the realm of possibility. The floating

painting of endless vacations ... the tire-swing of knock-kneed childhood

... the flying carpet of Oriental fantasies ... all allow us to play the armchair

voyager ... dreaming of faraway destinations while being supported by the

familiar security of a seat ... feet swinging free, cut loose from the pull of

gravity and other earthly cares ... in a painting that radiates the energies

and spirits of past creative moments ... surrounded by fabric and rope we

sit aloft, floating on air, surreally ... a pause made manifest.

Artwork details: Canvas +/- 2.20 x 1.5 m / 4.5 m in mounted situation

Materials: acrylic screen print on both sides of a heavy cotton canvas

riety of stakeholders, railway companies, transportministries, artists and curators, local governmentsand station masters gave me a great insight on pro-duction work. Inviting the local artists and curatorsin every country, including the preparation workson the catalogues provided me with curatorial ex-pertise. Cultural differences and working ethicshave been the necessary reason to reinvent thewheel in every country, since none of these had thesame challenge and ultimately needed a differentremedy to make it turn. The temporary autonomousspace solutions created by the train provided a se-ries of realization including the possibilities to im-plement a healthy dose of anarchy that inspiredfurther steps and upgraded my art practise enor-mously. Presenting the project to the public as alow threshold exhibition also made me understandthe importance to include new public to contempo-rary art shows..

'Underground in Amsterdam' art interventions onconstruction sites.Amsterdam 1995

With this intervention on a construction site I real-ized that the final product is inferior to the workingprocesses. However it is a slow development thatleads to such experiments where lots of thinking isinvolved and one has to get ready for it. Thereforeprevious project and self-initiated experiences alsocontribute to these realizations, which should notbe underestimated. .
