Week 1/2

I missed the first week of the minor, so I was a bit late with finding my object for this project. After visiting the boijmans and searching on the collection online. I chose a work of Carsten Höller that is in the archive. I was really inspired bij the the colors and the shapes. And I am always interested in the nature.

Bek-1844-(mk) large.jpg

Titel - Fliegenpilz/Satanspilz/Habichtspilz, Kunstenaar - Carsten Höller, Brussel 1961, Uitvoerder - Lars MandlerJaartal2009, Lokatie - Dit object is in het depot, Afmetingen -

9 x 10,5 x 10 cm, Materiaal en techniek - polyurethaan hars en acrylverf


When I first saw this art work I thought it was a small object. But after doing research on the internet, I saw that it is really big. And it’s wrong on the page of the boijmans. The information on the webpage of the boijmans is Title: Fliegenpilz/Satanspilz/Habichtspilz But there is also a title Giant Triple Mushrooms, 2010. And the information of the size on the webpage is 9 x 10,5 x 10 cm. I Thought this is wrong, because I saw this picture.

But after doing research to the size. I saw that he made small ones and big ones. So the object in the boijmans should be the small one. But To be shure I have send them an e-mail.

I really like the colors, the abstract shape and I think is nice to see that it is a investigation. That gives me the feeling to do a experiment.

Research about the mushrooms

After doing research in books and websites. I found more information about his artwork. The artwork was inspired by the fly agaric mushroom is coming back in his work since 1994. The mushrooms are also in Höller’s installation, named Soma, is inspired by the myth of a magical drink. According to the beliefs of Vedic nomads in northern India. Soma gave those who drank it special powers and brought them closer to their gods. Nobody knows what went into the drink, though some research.

Höller will create a living picture in two parts, each half populated with resin sculptures of the red and white mushroom as well as six live reindeer, 12 singing canaries, four laboratory mice and one fly. In a scientific experiment, one group will be fed urine from six reindeer in the installation that have eaten fly agaric while the other half will be given urine from reindeer not exposed to the mushroom. Visitors are invited to spend the night in a bed in the middle of the installation, to observe the effects of the fly when it is caught.


Other work of Carsten Holler

I knew the artist Carsten Holler of his instalation „”Test Site”. Test Site was an art installation, that was displayed in the turbine hall of Tate Modern in London, UK, between October 2006 and April 9, 2007.

I did also a research to other work of Carste Holler. To have an idea about his ideas and inspirations.

Test Site, as the title declares, is an experimental project. Using the given characteristics of Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, German artist Carsten Höller has taken advantage of the height of the space, and the vast museum audience, to test a hypothesis he has been investigating

for some time concerning the possible effects of sliding. What would be the result of sliding 

if it was part of the daily routine? Can slides become part of our experiential and architectural life?

Höller’s own scientific background (he has a doctorate in agricultural science) the experimental nature, is a part in his work. It is nice to see other work of him. I really like his idea of being a part of his investigation.


Höller’s work is all about of questions such as: “How do we achieve enlightenment? What role is science given in our society, and what role myth?”
