Sophie Kaars Sijpesteijn

Searching for other approaches to public engagement Marianne and Danielle developed the six meter square space of Marianne’s studio as a window display gallery for colleagues to occupy and develop their art in for short, determined intervals of time.
The space was baptized Corneroh, being on the corner of the street and the ‘oh’ was added for cheerful emphasis.
Marianne, who tentatively at first, envisioned the idea, was inspired by the space itself and the thought of engaging non suspecting passersby to look through the windows.
Danielle imagined Corneroh from the start as a perfect platform for performances and live action film projection. She linked Corneroh to Hoogtij, the Contemporary Art tour of The Hague that takes place four times yearly.
Sophie who joined the group later, saw potential for animation and comic making initiatives. She professionalized the website and gave Corneroh a logo.
And so Corneroh came into being: a non commercial art initiative meant to give exposure to the artists invited by the threesome.
Corneroh is 201 cm wide, 372 cm in length, and 288cm high
