"Splendid Isolation" (Schitterende Afzondering) .

Exhibition, until Saturday Dec. 8th 2012

Splendid Isolation is an exhibition on lines and maps with a special focus on conceptual and gestural approaches. I presume you will like it. The exhibition shows how primary steps in an artistic practice are about idiosyncratic perception. Splendid Isolation is an exhibition that offers a range of visually enticing works on paper which unite artists who disengage fragments and representations of culture. In choosing surprising points of view and rules of transformation the artists invite to a renewed way of seeing.The term isolation is here is meant as a means to eliminate noise and provide clarity. "This is is my perspective, and topic. Here it is." Similar to the way Rudi Fuchs typified Sol Lewitt's Wall Drawing #1084, namely as an art that is clear, laconic, and rich in variation. (De Groene Amsterdammer, 15 Nov. 2012, p. 49)

Until Saterday December 8. Wednesday - Saturday 12.00 - 5.00 pm ARTISTS included are Martin Brandsma, Annesas Appel, Kasper Andreasen, Richard Long, Anett Frontzek, Marlies Appel and Alicja Werbachowska. There is also a selection of artists' books on show.

New Book by Ton Martens

Book: The Paper Monument of The Wall of Nagata-ku, Kobe, Japan by Ton Martens



"During my first working journey to Kobe in 1995 I met the japanese artist Taiji Mihara by Yasuko Nakanishi of Gallery Mssohkan. They showed me 'The Wall' which was saved after the Great Hanshin Earthquake, like it was saved after the bombing of Kobe in 1945 by the Americans. Mr Mihara wanted to keep this wall as . . . The Non-human Witness of the Quake. . . But the municipality of Kobe decided to build houses on this spot. I suggested to make a 'paper monument' of the wall. By rubbing the complete wall onto paper. Unfortunately, in 1995, there was no time left anymore. But I promised that I would come back later. It took me one and a half year to find enough subsidies and sponsors in Holland. In Japan Yasuko and Michiru Nakanish found sponsors by 'The One-sheet-campaign'. From February 19 till March 11 1997 I worked on this project with help of so many." Ton Martens
This book shows all the 76 sheets [size 217 x 97 cm] and some collages, in an edition of 24 copies.

Johan Deumens Gallery Leipzig

Entrance of our new 'Gallery in residence' at the Spinnerei Leipzig.

It's hard to stop beginning

The gallery presents an exhibition by Robin Waart.
From September 17 until October 29 2010.
Opening Friday September 17, 7pm - 9pm. Location: Donkere Spaarne 32, Haarlem.



Part one. The first in a series of works looking into what beginning (and ending) means – Part one is a collection of pages from English books and (mostly) novels, featuring only the words Part one/Part I/Part etc.

We start things all the time. A train of thought, conversations, love affairs. Often we don’t even know how and when until it has already happened.
In fact ‘to start something’ describes much more of a process than just an onset.
This is what Part one is about. About collecting and not being able to track down where and when a collection starts, about failing to predict the moment it will stop. Because there is no such thing as completeness, because collecting always involves repetition. And because if you keep on repeating something, tracing it back to its origin becomes more and more difficult.
The publication is printed in a limited edition of 101 numbered copies, each reproducing 101 Part ones. It is a collection of pages from English books and (mostly) novels, featuring only the words Part one / Part 1. Each book contains one of the yellowed or faded originals, implying the process of collecting has to start all over again. Not just because a collection is never complete – just because it’s hard, maybe impossible, to stop beginning.
(quotations, Robin Waart, 2010)

The exhibition 'It's hard to stop beginning' is also part of Madness & Arts Festival 2010 which after Toronto (2003) and Münster (2006) will be taking place in Haarlem from 24 September through 3 October, 2010.

3e International Madness & Arts Festival

From the 24th of September to the 3rd of October 2010 the Madness & Arts Festival will focus on the encounter of madness with arts. Is there a correlation between madness and arts? How do artists acknowledge madness and how does their work influence the way we think about people with psychological disturbances? For ten days, the festival explores these questions within a comprehensive multidisciplinary programme including theatre, dance, film, music, visual arts, literature and poetry. The public meeting (symposium) and the educational programme open up “madness” for discussion.

The gallery participates in this festival and will show work by Robin Waart.
