The World of Claudy Jongstra<\/em> at the History Museum of Armenia in Yerevan explores time through wool, plants, natural dyes, and human labor. Presented under the subtitle Slow Downs: The Art of Deep Time<\/em>, the exhibition invites viewers to reconsider time in an age increasingly defined by speed and acceleration. It is on view from 22 October 2026 to 10 January 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Claudy Jongstra<\/a> is a Dutch artist known for textile artworks and architectural installations. Working with wool from Drenthe Heath sheep and dye plants cultivated on her biodynamic farm in Friesland, she brings together the rhythms of nature, traditional knowledge, and human labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The temporal life of materials: making time visible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition explores Claudy Jongstra\u2019s understanding of time through natural materials, traditional craftsmanship, and ecological processes. Bringing together plants, animals, wool, dyes, and human labor, her practice challenges accelerated production, revealing how time accumulates within materials and shapes our relationship with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jongstra\u2019s practice, time is an essential part of the creative process. Plants grow according to their own cycles, animals follow seasonal rhythms, and the preparation of natural dyes and the making of felt require patience and repetition. Her works embody the time accumulated through these interconnected natural and human processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
