Podcast The Social Challenge: Herman van Bergen over het goud van de verbeelding.

Podcast The Social Challenge: Herman van Bergen over het goud van de verbeelding.

Herman van Bergen is uitgenodigd voor een podcast aflevering voor de podcast The Social Challenge:

‘Herman is een eigenzinnige en kritische Kunstenaar of maker zoals hij zichzelf liever noemt. Hij is opgegroeid in Nijmegen waar hij van jongs af aan te maken krijgt met astmatische bronchitis. Je hoort hoe hij dankzij deze ziekte zijn talent kan ontwikkelen en wat voor rol ziekte speelt in zijn artistieke leven.

In Nederland ontmoet hij zijn vrouw Daisy en samen vertrekken zij naar Curaçao waar Herman door wandelingen de Sumpinas, oftewel doornen ontdekt. Je hoort hoe deze gehate doornen veranderen tot zijn Cathedral of Thorns; oftewel Kathedraal van Doornen. Een enorm labyrint van doornen ter ere van Moeder Natuur en de Vrije Geest. Onlangs heeft hij voor dit prachtige meesterwerk de prestigieuze 2022 Innovator in Arts award van de International Sculpture Center (ISC) in New York mogen ontvangen.’
