Solo EXHIBITION

SAM AndreA

In the former Art historical Institute of the University of Amsterdam Gallery Vriend van Bavink presents a big solo exhibition by Sam Andrea.

For this solo, Andrea left the Amsterdam night-time that he normally calls his home and left for Lab Kalkhorst, a castle in former East Germany. There, withdrawn from the urban noise, he tried to give way to the hysteria of Amsterdam and he exposed another aspect of the human experience.

21 – 30 juni

Location: Herengracht 286

Stijn Elshuis

‘Men zegt dat de zon een ster is’

In the exhibition ’It is said that the sun is a star’, Stijn Elshuis shows two series. In addition to’ the Googlemountains series’, he shows work from ‘the Unknown Matter series’ that consists of images from NASA's image database.

Duo presentation Wouter van de Koot & Tja Ling

Wouter van de Koot (1978) received a Master of Arts from the Antwerp Royal Academy in the direction Painting. He creates painted images of scenarios in which historical characters mix with figures from his reality.

Tja Ling (1987) graduated from the Luca School of Arts Gent, where she received a Master of Fine arts. The work of the Dutch artist, with Chinese roots can be experienced as a symbiosis between the East and the West.

Art Rotterdam 2019 
6 – 10 February – Booth 7

In his work Itamar Gilboa is inspired by the power of numbers and the influence of science. Body of Work is a conceptual self-portrait made with advanced medical technology. With the data derived from his research he creates works representing his own body: a body of flesh and blood, an interplay of organs, bones and, more abstractly, his mind. Gilboa works in diverse media: photography, video and sculptures. The latter, in reflecting materials such as mirror and chrome, blur the distinction between self and other and shift the focus to the relationship between identity and the body.
