WHITECONCEPTS Gallery is delighted to present “The X (Anniversary)”. With this group show, the Berlin-based gallery celebrates its 10th anniversary.

“The X (Anniversary) Part II” starts from April 4 – 28. The second exhibition of our anniversary show will present a fine selection of works by 16 artists with whom the gallery has worked throughout this intensive decade. 10 years represent the passage of time, but also the imprint of a place within this time.

WHITECONCEPTS gives priority to issues concerning perceptions of space and regards this notion as a unifying principle of artistic positions. In close cooperation with artists, primarily socially critical projects are presented, which show diverse and forward-looking perspectives. Building on the avant-garde power of art, the gallery has built an international network. WHITECONCEPTS is also a regular publisher of artist catalogs and monographs.

WHITECONCEPTS was founded in 2009 by the curator and art manager Nicole Loeser. The curatorial commitment has always been to explore artistic methods, to stimulate debates about current artistic practices, discourses and theories. The gallery focuses primarily on conceptual art and an interdisciplinary engagement with various media, including visual and sculptural works, installations, performances and public interventions.

So far, Nicole Loeser and her team have curated more than 80 exhibitions and numerous art projects and participated in 30 international art fairs.

The fair is established in 1985 and therefore one of the oldest in the world.

With other artists Robert Zandvliet, Roos Holleman, Jan Maarten Voskuil, Joncquil, Seet Van Hout will be represented by 99 UITGEVERS/PUBLISHERS.

Van Hout’s experimental approach reflects the vivid, interdependency and serendipity of the world through abstract art, informal and surreal elements into allegorical depictions. She combines these elements, differentiates, complements, arranges, forms, feels, senses and therefore allows space for coincidences to affect her work. Art serves her as a transforming and transcendent medium on different levels of consciousness.

Uwe Poth at Museum Flehite

February 12, 2019 In News No Comment

Exhibition: 08.02.2019 – 19.05.2019

Group Exhibition: “Stadsbeelden” – “City Images”

LOCATION: Museum Flehite, Westsingel 50, 3811 BC Amsterfoort/NL

Website

With the exhibition ‘City Images’, Museum Flehite introduces us to the work of eight contemporary artists who research and document the theme ‘city’.

The exhibition shows works by Iwan Baan, Stefan Bleekrode, Frank Halmans, Carlijn Kingma, Uwe Poth, Frank van der Salm, Rob Voerman and Hans Wilschut.

That the city in all its facets is still an interesting and popular theme for many artists today, shows the Stadsbeelden exhibition. Parallel to Maestro Van Wittel at Kunsthal KAdE, Museum Flehite organizes this exhibition on contemporary urban art. It is the first exhibition of the museum after a thorough renovation.

In collaboration with Kunsthal KAdE, Museum Flehite selected eight contemporary artists from the Netherlands, who each in their own way researched the theme of ‘city’ and recorded it in drawings, paintings, photographs and 3D objects.

About the artist Uwe Poth:

Traveling is an important theme in the work of Uwe Poth (Kiel, 1946). Traveling to other countries and cultures, but also traveling in time, which makes things fade; evaporate. In his paintings and drawings you meet elements from then and now and there is cultural layering. Poth mostly works with oil on large canvases, but uses different materials as a means of expression, such as chalk, watercolor, photo and collage.

Katrin Korfmann at Teylers Museum

February 1, 2019 In News No Comment

Exhibition: 01.02.2019 – 02.06.2019

LOCATION: Teylers Museum, Spaarne 16, 2011 CH Haarlem/NL

Website

Teylers Museum has been supporting ‘living art’ since the end of the eighteenth century by collecting and presenting contemporary works of art. With this in mind, from 1 February to 2 June in the Tuinzaal, the photo “Back Stages, Teylers Museum” of artists Katrin Korfmann (1971) and Jens Pfeifer (1963) can be seen.

The huge picture of more than three by four meters shows an imaginary moment from above in Teylers Museum. Korfmann and Pfeifer made the work as part of the Back Stages series, in which they map all aspects of making and showing art and culture worldwide. From more than five hundred individual photographs of the museum, the artists put together a new solidified reality. Regular visitors to the museum will recognize pieces of Fossil Hall mixed with the Oval Room.

As in a huge tetris game, the artists built from these separate elements a new pattern that symbolizes the social patterns and connections that are necessary to produce art. This never happens in full romantic isolation, but continuously in contacts between artists, collectors, traders, exhibition makers and the public.
