HARMEN DE HOOP: THE FUTURE - OBERGOSGEN, 2020
At the turn of the millenium we had such high hopes. But 9/11 created a society of fear, the financial crisis of 2008 left us bankrupt, and the Covid-19 virus locked us in our homes. What will the future bring?

HARMEN DE HOOP: PAINTING IS DEAD - OLTEN, 2020
'The death of painting' is debated for almost two centuries now. In 1839, at the first glimmering of photography, the French painter Paul Delaroche said 'From today, painting is dead'. In 1921, Aleksandr Rodchenko pronunced his monochromes 'the end of painting', and in the 1960's Ad Reinhardt said 'I am making the last painting which anyone can make'. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to stop anybody. Today's painting is labelled 'zombie formalism' or 'zombie abstraction' (does it mean that painting is dead and walks around like a zombie?). The question is, are there still people interested in painting, who still believe it's alive? Come, sit with me around the fire and join the discussion about 'the death of painting' (or its rebirth).

20.01.2020  HARMEN DE HOOP GAVE  BIANCOSHOCK AN ASSIGNMENT: DEAL WITH A SOCIAL ISSUE.
​

BIANCOSHOCK: TRIPTYCH - PAVIA, 2020
Recently many factories have been closed due to the crisis, creating social and environmental damages. Institutions are unable to deal with this topic and they tend to promote decorative muralism as a vehicle to embellish this problem. Mimicking this policy Biancoshock used gold paint and metal chains to transform a corner of decay into an artistic triptych: The Triptych of Decay.

BIANCOSHOCK: VILFREDO PARETO - MILAN, 2019
Biancoshock reinterprets the famous Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 rule) invented by Vilfredo Pareto, one of the most important Italian economists and sociologists. The 80/20 rule stats that roughly 80% of the effects come from the 20% of the causes (click here for deepening). The Pareto Principle found application in a surprising multitude of fields and disciplines: in economics, in computing, in sports, in occupational health and safety. For this reason it became universally recognized.
​Biancoshock applied this rule to the Graffiti field to commemorate Vilfredo Pareto.
