Cube’s

Over the years, I kept on making CUBE’S leading to something cubical: an object characterized by a square or nearly square, form.

CUBE

Arabic: كَعْبَة (kaʕ.ba); Bulgarian: ку́бче (kúbče), Mandarin: 方塊; Esperanto: kubo, Finnish: kuutio (fi); Georgian: კუბი (ḳubi), German: Würfel (de); Ancient Greek: κύβος m (kúbos); Hebrew: קובייה (kubiá); Hungarian: kocka (hu); Icelandic: kubbur (is) m; Irish: ciúb (m); Macedonian: коцка (kocka); Thai: ลูกบาศก์ (th) (lûuk-bàat), Turkish, küp; Armenian: խորանարդ (xoranard); Czech: kostka (cs); Cornish: kub m;Russian куб (kub) m. Hebrew קובייה (kubiá); Swedish: block n; Spanish: cubo (es) m; Maori: matano.

By simply giving breath to the seemingly inanimate formal shape it becomes a living object which can affect us, and we affect it. Together we resonate with the local rhythms: able to orchestrate various moments of wonder.

*Striped* // 2010-2014, Marken Island, Nl. In 1916 the Island of Marken was heavily flood. In a wild storm some of the black/white striped wooden houses were blown away and drifted all the way to the Danish coast. Eek replaced one of the houses which hovered like liquid architecture on the open spots of the island. Performed by Ludmila Rodrigues and Wen Chin Fu.

Sinking in Between [2020]. The inflatable brings forward iridescent colours, reminiscent of ice crystals. The work is a meeting between artists Nicky Assmann and Cocky Eek in air, liquid and the interference of light. *Credits*: *Sinking in Between was commissioned by Klankvorm for Lightforms Festival during IFFR 2020 in the Rotterdam harbour and made possible through the generous support of Gemeente Rotterdam & Mondriaan Fund*
