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.

Upstream Gallery proudly presents a duo presentation of paintings and sculpture by Frank Ammerlaan and Florian & Michael Quistrebert.

While painting is usually considered the most traditional form of art, these artists continue to reinvent the medium through their use of unconventional materials and techniques.

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.

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.

Opening: 6th of July
Open: 1 July 2018 t/m 7 October 2018

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.

To mark the 175th anniversary of the Dordrechts Museum Association and the Dordrechts Museum

A presentation with works by previous winners of the Scheffer Award: Frank Ammerlaan, Kim van Norren, Joost Krijnen, Elspeth Diederix and Charlotte Dumas.
