Berndnaut Smilde (Groningen, 1978) is a Dutch visual artist.
Berndnaut Smilde was born in 1978 in Groningen. [1] In 2005,[ citation needed ] Smilde graduated with a master's degree in fine art from the Frank Mohr Institute of Hanze University in Groningen. [1] [2]
Smilde's best known works include the series Conditioner; sculptures that spread an antiseptic scent throughout several rooms, [3] and Unflattened, which shows an inverted rainbow. [4]
I see them as temporary sculptures of almost nothing — the edge of materiality. It looks like you can dive into them or grab them, but they just fall apart. There's a duality there that I really like, where you're trying to achieve this ideal thing that then just collapses moments later. [5]
Smilde in an interview with IGNANT
In 2012 he created a series of self-made clouds, of which Nimbus II, 2012, first performed in the Lady Chapel of Hoorn, was included in London's Saatchi Gallery. [6] He chooses locations that are old, damp, that have no air circulation. [5] Time magazine called this technique one of the fifty best inventions of 2012. [7] [8]
Smilde won a stipend from the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts. [1]
