Intangible Touch

Art Rotterdam, 2023

Upstream Gallery proudly presents the group presentation Intangible Touch, with works by Frank Ammerlaan, Marinus Boezem, Kévin Bray, Harm van den Dorpel, Alicia Framis, Noor Nuyten, Tabor Robak and Rafaël Rozendaal. The show aims to explore mankind’s desire to grasp and depict the intangible in a fast moving world.

Through their innovative ways of experimenting with materials and techniques, the participating artists present artworks that take shape through a range of transformations, aiming to understand life, and by extension, our aesthetic appreciation of it. From movement into abstraction, from virtual into physical, finding presence in absence, turning intangible into tangible.

Mondrian Moves

Kunstmuseum Den Haag
02 April 2022 till 25 September 2022

This year it is 150 years since the birth of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). Kunstmuseum Den Haag, whose Mondrian collection, numbering over 300 items, is the largest in the world, cannot let this pass unnoticed. In 2017 the museum showed all the Mondrians in its collection for the first time in a major retrospective. To mark this year’s anniversary, Benno Tempel and curator Caro Verbeek have created an exhibition exploring Mondrian’s inspiring relationships with friends and fellow artists of his time, and his role as a source of inspiration to many artists who came after him.

BODY ARMOR

An object that gives in is actually stronger than one that resists. 1

BODY ARMOR is Frank Ammerlaan’s fourth solo exhibition at Upstream Gallery. Since his last exhibition Particles of Dust in 2017 Ammerlaan’s chief medium became the world’s physical matter, excavated from the ground or fallen down from the sky.

The exhibition title borrows its name from a series of Ammerlaan’s leadworks, realised in a material that is contaminated with meaning, poisonous and alchemical. Lead, used as protection from radiation in hospitals and nuclear power plants, chemically is the end result of millions of years of decay of the unstable Uranium element. According to Ammerlaan, ‘physically the material is soft and seems to be as malleable as reality itself, whilst being used to protect the flesh against its former radioactive self’. The square lead tiles overlap in rudimentary landscapes to construct spherical, protective layers, akin to an armour or a roof. Through the process of alchemical transformation, which stretches over time, lead creates resistance against its own radiative movement.

Trouble in Paradise, Kunsthal Rotterdam

 

Open: Feb. 7 – May 26, 2019

In the spring of 2019, the Kunsthal Rotterdam will be presenting ‘Trouble in Paradise’, an extraordinary selection of contemporary art works from the private collection of art collector Rattan Chadha (1949, Delhi). This private collection – known as the KRC Collection – will be presented at the Kunsthal to a wide audience for the very first time. At the heart of his collection is the human condition, with art that gets under your skin. From sex, drugs and rock ’n roll to deep melancholy and abstraction. In short: ‘Trouble in Paradise’!

‘Trouble in Paradise’ will feature a selection of over seventy works – varying from paintings and sculptures to installations and video art – by internationally renowned artists such as Gilbert&George, Francis Picabia, Thomas Hirschhorn, Marlene Dumas and Jack Whitten. Also represented are many well-known Dutch artists, including Frank Ammerlaan, Marcel van Eeden, Marc Bijl, Folkert de Jong and Rafaël Rozendaal.

Wolvecampprijs

 

Frank Ammerlaan is nominated, together with Raquel van Haver and Sam Samiee, for the 11th edition of the biennial Wolvecampprijs.

The jury consists of chairman Edwin Jacobs (director Dortmunder U), Anne Wenzel (visual artist), Özkan Cölpinar (member of the Culture Council), Krist Gruijthuijsen (director KW Berlin) and Ralph Keuning (director De Fundatie). They wanted to make a statement by nominating three artists who work in their own way within the tradition of painting.

The Wolvecampprijs is a biennial national prize for painting and was created in 1998 as a tribute to the painter Theo Wolvecamp, member of the Cobra movement, and painting in general.

On Saturday, September 29, at the opening of the presentation of the three nominees in Hengelo, the jury will decide who will be the winner of 2018.

10 year anniversary exhibition of Nest.

Frank Ammerlaan, Nicky Assmann, Boris de Beijer, Semâ Bekirovic, Mischa Daams, Gabriel Lester, Keisuke Matsuura, Panamarenko, Oscar Peters, Gabey Tjon a Tham

Opening: Friday 12th of January

By: Zoro Feigl 

Nest, De Constant Rebecqueplein 20B, Den Haag

 

“Alle materie kan, in de juiste omstandigheden, tot iets organisch uitgroeien. We kunnen dus zeggen dat het leven in de kiem aanwezig is in alle stof” – Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, negentiende-eeuwse Sovjet raketgeleerde. 

In Another Dimension stapt het onzichtbare voor even in het licht. Achter dingen die ongezien blijven, of juist zo groot zijn dat ze als abstracties op ons overkomen, schuilt de uitkomst van de kunstwerken. Another Dimension brengt kunstenaars samen die putten uit de verste hoeken van de kosmos en die liefde koesteren voor het fictieve, utopische en buitenaardse. Gefascineerd door elementaire vragen zetten zij het experiment in, vastberaden te achterhalen hoe de wereld van de materie functioneert.

Another Dimension en Infinity zijn gelijktijdig te bezoeken van 12 januari t/m 11 maart op het De Constant Rebecqueplein. De tentoonstellingen luiden het tienjarig jubileum van Nest in.
