On January 26th 2018 our graduates, Carlotta Guerra, Jennifer Drabbe, Bart Bos, Kathrin Mundwiler, Makou Fujishita and Mariëlle Penrhyn Lowe present their thesis and photo projects to a big audience. It is also possible to buy the photo works. The Graduations Show will take place at our gallery space at the Keizersgracht.
In her works Mariëlle Penrhyn Lowe contemplates how, through the passing of time, a life leaves its traces in every human being. She peruses questions such as what the purpose of life is and what remains of a life lived. These, and other questions are the fundament to her researching transiency and loneliness, self-perseverance and at a deeper level, death.
With a suntan, my mother looks like salami. Curled up and warm, our sleeping dog smells like a french baguette fresh from the oven. “Peel the banana, I’m too tired to undress.” It’s as if someone is scraping out the last of the kiwi,” is how period pains are described. My tongue is crying. (Jennifer Drabbe)
For Kathrin Mundwiler the act of taking pictures is something very intuitive. Over the past years she has been travelling extensively, her cameras being her best and often sole travel companions. Being on the road without a predefined destination in mind is when she thrives the most.
Makou Fujishita: “I started to pull out and shave the hair off my body when I was twelve years old. I chose some tweezers recommended by a friend, and used a shaver I borrowed from my sister. It was hard and painful to pull out the hairs. So I made secret rule - to pull out 7 hairs per day, or any other number that can be divided by 7. The number seven is important within family, and is special to me since there are seven members in my family.”
...years ago I was sitting on a plane waiting to take off. It was the last day of a course for people dealing with fear of flying. At that time it was already clear that these two words had many more insights than a simple aversion to planes. We were all there, a bunch of damned crazy people, freaking out, sitting stiff, ready to take off for what it felt to us a launch in the space without oxygen stock. (Carlotta Guerra)
Landscape and its ever changing light has always been my guiding principle ( of connecting thread) in my work, leading to designing new forms of landscapes. These forms are an expression of my view of landscape; the way I see it, the way I want to see it. That is how I created the Tree Tunk Landscape.(Bart Bos)
Opening starts at 6pm @Keizersgracht 82-bg
