JAAP SCHEEREN — PARIS/UTRECHT

Filed under: Art contemporain, Photographie | Tags: , , , |


Jaap Scheeren brings a fresh and broadening of scope to art photography. His carefree, calculated clumsy and humoristic approach to his work enhances the authentic and pure character of his series, without relinquishing the underlying seriousness or sincerity of his intentions. Next exhibitions at Paris Photo 2011 and in Utrecht.

Flatland, Utrecht. 17.09.2011 > 21.10.2011.

RICHARD PRINCE — THE FUG

As John McWhinnie’s essay for the catalogue accompanying this exhibition observes, the line between fact and fiction is constantly blurred, not only in Richard Prince’s work but also in the artist’s mythic identity.

Filed under: Art contemporain, Peinture - Illustration | Tags: , |

Dirty Dancing assembles new paintings of Michiel Ceulers, Cordula Ditz and David Ostrowski. The three artists explore the possibilities of contemporary painting, in a relatively rough, even aggressive way with techniques that include mixing spray with acrylic paint, glueing dirty artefacts on the canvas, including words or phrases, printing of randomly chosen objects or even destroying the canvas with cuts.
