Solo exhibition by award-winning artist Jaundre van Eck

"Die Vallei van Adem" is a solo exhibition by Nelson Mandela University master’s student in fine art, Jaundre van Eck. Hosted at the Pretoria Art Museum in Pretoria, South Africa, the exhibition runs from September 10 to November 8, 2026. Van Eck's artistic practice explores the intersection of ceramics, sound, movement, and embodied experience, creating interactive sculptural vessels that encourage viewer participation over passive observation.

The exhibition features a body of ceramic sound vessels, each designed to be activated through movement. This process involves drawing air through water and a whistle, causing the sculptures to appear to breathe while producing sound and releasing scent into the surrounding space. Although each vessel has a unique voice, the sculptures are intended to function collectively, with varying sizes creating a range of higher and deeper tones, transforming the exhibition into a kind of choir. Visitors' interactions with the artworks contribute to an evolving soundscape shaped by movement, sound, scent, and their presence.
