RAS

RAS could stand for Rational Anarkey Syndrome, or Reverb Acoustic Staccato, or Reason After Sense, or Rapid Action Support.....

This can go on forever and surely will. But RAS is also ROTTERDAM ART SHIELD. And Rotterdam Art Shield is just like the Musketeers or the Roman Rulers: a bond of three men, artists to be precise. 3 totally different characters with one goal that binds their focus: filling a blackhole with a rising sun!

Tjalling Visser, Tymen Visser, Henri van Zanten decided in spring 2009 to combine their excentric and individualist tendencies. The name that came up:
Rotterdam Art Shield. It indicates their metaphysical mentality. It is not about them against Rotterdam. It is protecting Rotterdam against them. But the shield is also used as a mirror, only provoking subjective suspense. Reflexions?

What's new? Our goal is not to create something new or claim that. Art in our time cannot be but a comment in the form of refreshing combinations, interpretations, collisions and strange love affairs. It is not unthinkable by doing so we repel, attract and bewilder at the same time. That is the female side of Rotterdam atrt shield
