PROGRAM

EXHIBITION    04.04 - 07.04.2024    
OOG OP PLASTIC     WERKGROEP BEELDTAAL

Mobirise

Ten emerging photographers took part in the Visual Language working group at the Fotoacademie Amsterdam over the past six months. Under the guidance of Ariane James, they explored the topic Plastic.
Is plastic beautiful? Is it okay to think it is beautiful? Is plastic bad? Should we fight plastic or mainly reuse it? How does plastic affect our environment and our bodies? What memories do we have of plastic? Can we actually still live without plastic?
The photographers went into nature, paid working visits, went into the studio or investigated the possibilities of plastic digitally. The exhibition Eye on Plastic is the final result of their plastic adventures.

Photographers Ankie van den Broek, Jopke Moulijn, Pauline Spaas, Judith Lechner, Laura Hompus, Jana Prochazkova, Ineke Kok, Liset van Laer, Paul Groefsema, Jennifer Marden.

NDSM XPO XV     NIEUW NEW BABYLON

Mobirise

Amid the global conflicts with associated refugee flows and the climate crisis hitting faster and more devastatingly than predicted, there are also bright spots that give hope and confidence in a better future. Young people are actively working to expose abuses, even taking legal action against big companies and countries. And worldwide, there are initiatives to combat further global warming.
We increasingly realize that we are just a small part of a large and complex system. The idea that we are the 'crown of creation' is proving outdated. We are simply being swept along by forces over which we have little control.
Humans are adept at creating and believing stories. However, the old myths of heroes and gods no longer fit today's reality; they are outdated and simplistic. We need new myths that reflect our changed needs, with new characters to help us cope with the rapidly changing world.
In NIEUW NEW BABYLON, artists display these new myths, as Constant Nieuwenhuis once described New Babylon as a dream: an illustration of a way of life in a supposed society. These are dystopian stories that confront, but also optimistic ones the viewer can identify with. For instance, there is a larger-than-life ferryman from Greek mythology who transports souls to the underworld in a boat that, although not seaworthy, has a cat, the sacred animal of ancient Egyptian civilisation, on the forecastle, representing hope. A natural area on a balcony shows a hopeful future in densely populated cities. And the large photographic work of a floating object above a silent landscape evokes a strong association with Stanley Kubrick's 1968 2001: A Space Odyssey, as a reference to humanity's new start in the universe.

MOEDERKOEK    FARAH WIDMER

Mobirise

Each of us was once connected to the placenta through the umbilical cord. Yet we know very little about the placenta. It is still one of the least studied and least understood organs of the human body. For artist Farah Widmer, the duality of the placenta, which both connects and separates mother and child, makes it a symbol of the porous boundaries between one person and the other.
In MOEDERKOEK, Widmer shows placentas made of clay and poetry. In the process, she explores autofiction, medical illustration and intersubjectivity.

The exhibition will be accompanied by two lectures and a workshop:
Lecture May 11 16:30 ‘The Philosophy of the Placenta’ Rodante van der Waal
Lecture May 12 16:30 ‘The Birth of a Mother’ Cynthia Dorrestijn
Workshop May 18 14:00 ‘Discovering the Placenta by Hand’ Nikki Oosterveen

Opening April 20 17:00

WEESKINDEREN UIT DE WERKPLAATS

In WEESKINDEREN UIT DE WERKPLAATS (ORPHANS FROM THE STUDIO), several artists from NDSM present works that have received little or no attention until now. Each artist's studio contains artworks that have rarely or never been shown. There was no opportunity for them, or the maker considers them to have passed. These works stand gathering dust; they are orphaned creations. Precisely these works are often very special because they show the paths artists take to get where they are today.

Artists Guévørk Aivazian, Joris Berger, Allard Boterenbrood, Marcel Buster, Ester Eva Damen, Rienke Enghart, Frank Hietbrink, Ellen Klijzing, Nanny Kok, Rucha Kulkarni, Dora Lionstone, Helena Kaori Maeda, Benny van der Plank, Paul Rinzo,

TEN BUFFALOS    THE ONE MINUTES     
CURATED BY PERNILLA MANJULA PHILIP

Mobirise

LIFE/BODY HACKS showcases 18 one-minute videos on DIY approaches to life. Pernilla Manjula Philip invited artists and filmmakers worldwide to participate and share their experiences of DIY approaches to life beyond standardised biomedical industrial methods. Video experience was not required and all stories of lived experience were welcome. The 18 selected films were submitted by artists from, Argentina, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and Romania.
'We rely on technology, healthcare and each other to meet our needs. These videos focus their attention on the areas in between. The needs that prove difficult to articulate or perhaps literally difficult to reach. The exchange of personal experiences and perspectives takes place through DIY methods and lifestyles of the standardised norms in the biomedical-industrial complex. Handicaps, weakness and illness are conveyed with stories of lived experiences, which are used to produce and share knowledge.' Pernilla Manjula Philip

Artists Milan Gress, Amos Peled, Mattia Friso, Irina Bako, Xingrong Qiao, Alejandra Morote Peralta, Joaquin Wall & Mariano Garcia, Philippine Talamona, Jingran He, Maartje Jaquet, Ksenia Gorokhova, Sara Nygård, Mel Keane, Katinka Harmsen, Hafsa Moin, Ruben Duijst, KRNago, Theodore Colin-Morrison

CADAVRE EXQUIS

Mobirise

CADAVRE EXQUIS is a continuous artwork by Rienke Enghardt. CADAVRE EXQUIS is based on a children’s game that has been played all over the world for centuries. At the start of the last century the surrealists recognized the game as an expression of art and gave it its illustrious name. CADAVRE EXQUIS playful drawings that since developed give an impression of the zeitgeist of the turbulent years between the two world wars.

At NDSM FUSE is a permanent CADAVRE EXQUIS table with paper and pencils. The collected drawings, made by more than a thousand artists and visitors, displayed on the wall next to the table give an impression of today’s zeitgeist.
