About The Artwork
Dwelling is a new artwork by Dutch artist Krijn de Koning, made specially for Turner Contemporary's Summer of Colour festival and Folkestone Triennial 2014. This colourful architectural labyrinthine walkway is in two different outdoor locations in Kent: Turner Contemporary’s South Terrace, adjacent to the gallery, and within a Victorian grotto on Folkestone seafront. The work appears simultaneously in both locations this summer as part of Turner Contemporary’s Summer of Colour festival and Lookout, the third Folkestone Triennial. Dwelling (Margate / Folkestone) has a strong sense of place, having been conceived for two different locations in Kent. Both sites have a strong connection through their coastal locations and history as popular destinations for leisure and tourism during the 19th and 20th centuries. What both sites have in common is an attempt at providing some sort of protection or shelter: the fake Victorian caves or grottoes on the one hand, versus the hard-edged contemporary architecture of Turner Contemporary on the other. Both sites lend themselves to this notion of a ‘dwelling’, which in turn plays with the traditional idea of seaside pavilions and beach huts, a common feature of the UK coast. This is the first time Turner Contemporary and the Creative Foundation have collaborated on an artist commission. Krijn de Koning's Dwelling is produced by Turner Contemporary for Folkestone Triennial 2014 and the Summer of Colour, with a grant from the Creative Foundation and with the support of Cultural Destinations and the Mondriaan Fonds.

I was a scientist for many years, working in the field of medical research, both in academia and in industry. In late 2004, I left science to pursue my creative interests in photography and the visual arts. I am now a professional photographer living in South East London. My photography business is called White Windmill Photography. I was a member of a Tea Leaf Arts for two years, a co-operative, artist led, gallery in Brockley, Lewisham. I had two solo shows during this time. Subjects that interest me the most, include modern and classical architecture, nature, rural life, landscapes and seascapes. My art practice centres on nature and the passing of the seasons. I have been involved in a long-term project to record a photographic essay of Beckenham Place Park, with an emphasis on different weather and light conditions encountered through the cycle of the seasons. More recently I have become interested in using my photographs to create abstract works and digital art, based on surface textures and patterns of man-made objects, natural found objects and architectural details. I am now a contributing arist at the Misty Moon Gallery, at the Ladywell Tavern, Lewisham S.E London and I have participated in three of their exhibitions.
