In this Studio Presentation I will talk about the two upcoming project exhibitions planned in Amsterdam:
SCHEPPEN / archival print 210 grs paper / limited editions
The first project is the mural SCHEPPEN for in the group exhibition de/cipher, in Arti et Amicitiae (April 21 to May 21). The English version of this work is titled MAKE/CREATE. I have put together a collection of words that are involved in creating. While completeness is not my aim, I do intend to visualize complexity. After all, 'creating' (as a verb) is not linear and several actions happen simultaneously. In addition, the process of creating cannot be defined in time compartments of hours, days, weeks or longer.
To fund the mural two limited editions are available (Dutch + English): SCHEPPEN / 50 x 70 cm (M)/ archival print 210 grs paper / limited edition of 10 / €250 pre-sign up before April 21
HIER/HERE/HOOR/HERE, (4x) 21,6 x 28,9 cm (US letter) / archival prints on 286 grs. paper / limited edition of 8
The second project is the four-letter word HEEL KORT HEEL EVEN/CUMA KATA KATA/ HERE HEAR of which the presentation will be at the Bouwput Gallery (May 31-June 4). The selection of the new four letter words puts more emphasis on the languages I grew up with, which are Dutch, Indonesian and English. Presenting the word images of the different languages side by side can lead to new connections and insights. In doing so, the project also shows how I hold myself in the field of language and image from my life of migration and being an artist. In the studio is a preview of the prints.
