O SERIJI
Simons v seriji "Stockage" tulipane uporablja zato, da pod vprašaj postavlja koncepte družbene identitete in ustvarja metaforo za globalizacijo. Tu se prepletajo popolnoma drugačni pomeni in pogledi na isto politično, geografsko ali umetniško tematiko. Divji tulipan prvotno izvira iz kazahstanskih step. Kultivirala jih je Turčija, Nizozemska pa jih je zelo uspešno komercializirala. Serija z naslovom Stockage se sklicuje na to: trgovanje, skladišča, vrednost na borzi. Špekulacije v zvezi s tulipani so tudi dober primer prvega borznega zloma v zgodovini ekonomije, ki se je zgodil leta 1637 na Nizozemskem. Z vpeljavo globalnega konformizma in komercializacije v vse sfere življenja, ter z istočasno izgubo kulture, se motiv »multikulturnega« tulipana pojavlja kot poseben simbol umetniškega zanimanja za lokalizacijo in identiteto.
ABOUT THE SERIES
In the "Stockage" series, Simons uses tulips to question social identity and create a metaphor for globalization. Completely different perspectives and meanings of the same political, geographical, or artistic theme interweave. The wild tulip originally came from the steppes of Kazakhstan, Turkey has managed to cultivate them, and the Dutch succeeded very well in commercializing them. The series entitled "Stockage" refers to that: trade, warehouses, stock market shares. The speculation with tulips is also a good example of the first stock market crash in economic history – in 1637 in the Netherlands.In an enforced global conformity and commercialization of all spheres of life with the corresponding loss of culture, the motif of the "multicultural" tulips can stand in a special way for an artistic interest in localization and identity.
