Statement – Close. Far away. Closer

Ukrainian/Russian/Dutch group show at Gallery Victoria, Samara, Russia

We strongly believe in the role the arts can play in bridging divides, developing critical thinking and promoting dialogue. Art is a universal language that can overcome barriers and distance and has the power to connect people. Therefore we find it important to keep on showing our film ‘Nation for two’, which addresses the absurdity of borders, at gallery Victoria in Samara, Russia.

But we cannot do so without openly condemning the Russian aggressive invasion of Ukraine. Right now Ukrainian civilians are hiding in shelters and dying under missiles fire, while Russian protesters are getting silenced and imprisoned for opposing this unnecessary war.

Scenery

Group show at Exhibition Space 38CC, Delft, the Netherlands

This summer 38CC brings nature into the exhibition space.
In Scenery the view is focused on the landscape. But not necessarily the traditional landscape and idyllic nature.

The charcoal drawings of Anouk Griffioen, the textile works of Lawrence James Bailey and the surreal video of Hertog Nadler depict the tense relationship between man and nature. With this contrasting presentation of intriguing works, the traditional-looking theme of the romantic landscape acquires a whole new dynamic and meaning. Scenery becomes scene. And vice versa.
