Christiaan Zwanikken is all about forced hybridization, mythical story telling and interaction. In his kinetic sculptures and installations he combines high tech electronic technology and lo-tech mechanical parts (often salvaged from scrapyards) with plants and body elements of animals (skulls, wings etc). Of course vapour and steam are used too.

The stories he tells are about spooking an innocent drumming Duracell rabbit, head banging anorexic cyborgs with goat’s skulls, a mechanical donkey on a tread mill and motorized, internally lit, racing skulls on dangerously bending thin metal tracks ('Who let the dogs out" the installation is.shown bottom-right in this frame).

For work like Zwanikken’s, context is very important. Luckily it isn’t exhibited within the sterile white walls of a museum but in a delightfully gritty cathedral like multi level industrial building: the Electriciteitsfabriek (EF) (the Electricity factory). Some of the works were even crafted here. It’s the giant former storage facility (1928) of the The Hague municipal power station, from the time when it was still coal fired. The power station itself is still in operation, nowadays it’s gas-turbine based.

The Zwanikken exhibition is really an engaging must visit. The exhibition closes on April 30, so hurry. Check it out: here.
