I have no doubt that something exists
at the borders of my dreams
like the roots of the trees
that make waves in the street.

Three research-ateliers with three exhibitions in three cities,
and a installation for children and adults.
This second atelier about 'The inside of the earth' took place in august 2011 in Almere (Nl) in cooperation with Corrosia.
In the summer holiday Judith Nab and Tessa Jansen worked with 6 children during 2 weeks.
A exhibition was set up at Corrosia Expo from 3 till 24 september.
Could we live inside the earth? How would we build our houses
? Could we use the heath of the earth to warm our house? How can there
be living creatures in this inside?! What is the influence of all the
processes inside the earth on our lives?
'I think inside the earth are beautifull landscapes where everything is quiet' Liza Darwesch.
During the first three phases of the project
‘THE REST OF THE WORLD (and beyond)’ Judith Nab invites children and
scientists to work with her in ‘ateliers’ to visualize the unknown parts worlds of the dark
zone of the deep-sea, the
universe, and the inside of the
earth.
With
the use of (animation) film, interviews,drawings, discussions and
research they create material, while celebrating the 'free thought'.
After each atelier a exhibition is organized in the city.
The journey to the ‘unknown’ is a pretext to
reflect, free of age and strengthened by the imagination of children
and scientists, about our place in the world and about our
attitude towards the unknown and the (im)possible.
"God created the world while thinking it could also have been different." Robert Musil

‘The rest of the world (and beyond)’ is an appeal for curiosity to the unknown, the motor of progress.
This is also the connecting link between the three groups of participants of this project: children, scientists and artists.
They are all used to think ‘outside of the box’ or as Mattias (10
years), a participant said, 'to take the curly roads instead of the
straight ones'
Scientists and artists are trying to move the borders of our
knowledge and our imagination. Children don’t know these borders and
move them naturally.
Or as Margot Mora said: 'I think that if you really train yourself, you can communicate with birds'
On our BlOG you can find more of our drawings and images, like this beautiful drawing of Lodewijk Reurekas.(11years)
