Saturday 29 September, 2007 _________________________________________________________________________ Rob Sweere presented his new commission for Hinterland at the National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont. An installation artist from the Netherlands, Sweere has shown his temporary interactive public sculptures internationally. Recent works have been shown in New York, Palestine, Mexico City and Nairobi. He is best known for his Heath-Robinson-like constructions which encourage audiences to view a situation or place in an unusual and awe-inspiring way. Rob Sweere develops instruments and meticulously staged paths, whereby he tries to translate the experiences of the senses as specifically as possible. Through these instruments – machines, made by the artist himself – and through a careful delineation of a track, he sends the observers at a measured pace and with a determined movement into a certain direction, the goal being to steer that experience.
