RAM-8 Groep

Statement

RAM-8 Groep was established in Overijse, Belgium last year as a continuation of an existing 15 years-old art group called RAM, and participated in the Bridges Enschede 2013 Exhibit. The group is back this year (welcoming two newcomer local artists replacing two others fine friends who needed to quit) with another collective creation. Like last year, the object will feature 8 artwork panels this time vertically dihedral featuring together a 3D-display around a structure having an 8-fold rotational symmetry either installed on an axial pedestal or hung from the ceiling. Only required is using '8' in some mathematical way using yellow and violet grades. The final work was not ready for the catalog so project images are shown.

Artworks

The work features 8 'main' square panels, this time 24cm-sided and mounted at a right angle on 8 'extension' panels to form 8 'open book' dihedral corners featuring together a 3D-display representing a yellow sun-like 8-fold rotational symmetric shape as seen from above. The 8 uneven dihedral works stem around the outside from 8 triangular (diagonally half-square) prisms glued together and forming an axial octogonal empty prism. The Yellow color was selected from a Belgian artist, Anita Drisch, who designs educational mathematical games associating colors to the 10 figures of the decimal numbering system, Yellow standing for 8.
