  • The collection of contemporary art of Pieter en Marieke Sanders from 2020-11-19 until 2021-06-20

     

    With the participation of Kunstmuseum Den Haag, the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Teylers Museum, an exhibition of 70 contemporary art pieces from the Pieter and Marieke Sanders collection will open at Centraal Museum on 14 November. These works are part of a gift and conveyance of no less than 250 works to the Dutch State. To celebrate this conveyance, these five museums are presenting the collection as a whole for the last time, in the exhibition titled Collector’s Item. Each museum will be assigned a gallery in which to mount its own part of the exhibition. Visitors can count on encountering contemporary artists such as Marlene Dumas, Jan Hoek, Klaas Kloosterboer, Folkert de Jong and Gluklya.

    Daarnaast heeft Rijksmuseum Twenthe dankzij een bijdrage uit de Collectieprogramma’s van het Mondriaan Fonds een groot aantal aankopen kunnen doen op het gebied van de hedendaagse kunst. In de tentoonstelling zijn recente verwervingen te zien van Silvia B., Peter Zegveld, Christiaan Zwanikken, Melanie Bonajo en Armando. Tenslotte is de collectie in de afgelopen periode ook verrijkt met diverse schenkingen, van onder andere Sepp Bader en de Collectie Wilploo.

  • 1-4 July Van Nelle Fabriek, new work at Ron Mandos Gallery

  • Met:

    Lily de Bont, Maurice Braspenning, Joncquil, Inge Reisberman, Simon Schrikker, Rik Smits, Renie Spoelstra

    Counterpart is te zien van 2 juli tot en met 1 oktober 2021. De tentoonstelling is samengesteld door curator Aart van der Kuijl en toont actuele schilderijen, tekeningen, videowerken, installaties en objecten van vooraanstaande Zuid-Hollandse kunstenaars. Hun werk vormt een fraaie en uiteenlopende afspiegeling van wat Zuid-Holland te bieden heeft aan beeldende kunst.

  • Goth is the world’s biggest subculture. A lifestyle steeped in an undefined yearning for the dark side of life. The exhibition GOTH – Designing Darkness looks for the subculture’s wellspring and presents a cultural history packed with dramatic imaginings, ominous design and melancholic art. In the heart of historic Den Bosch, with its medieval and neo-Gothic monuments, GOTH – Designing Darkness will also show how this dark subculture is given visual shape today.

  • The title of the new biennial refers to its semantic and aesthetic character: OT is conceived as a platform and space for artists that develop minimal or minimalist language in their work with such keywords as reduction of form, reserved narration, aesthetics of silence, abstraction, monochrome, etc.

    The Laconica biennial also seeks to bring visual art and other fields of art together, to generate creative ideas and collaborative projects, and draw attention to relevant contemporary trends and ways of thinking.

    Artists: Jovita Aukštikalnytė-Varkulevičienė, Ina Budrytė, Andrius Erminas, Nerijus Erminas, Vaiva Frančiakaitė, Aurelija Maknytė, Jaromír Novotný, Eglė Ridikaitė, Renie Spoelstra, Birutė Stulgaitė, Takashi Suzuki, Gintautas Trimakas, Justinas Vaitiekūnas.

    The artists of the exhibition are like modern alchemists interested in extracting ideas and converting them into new and pure values. Some of the authors focus on such concepts as light and colour, seeing them not as divine abstract emanation but as independent, material, almost physically tangible objects. Others seek inspiration from nature, perceiving it as a fundamental, primordial “theory of everything”. Still others borrow images from their environment and reduce them many times, making them so dense and concentrated that they reach the state of singularity similar to the black holes.

  • New work presented by RONMANDOS Gallery Amsterdam

2020

  • Galerie Ron Mandos proudly presents the fourth solo exhibition of Dutch artist Renie Spoelstra (1974). Her new charcoal drawings of volcanic landscapes create a disquieting presence. The images of beaches, forests, and moraines are sometimes barely discernible. As they hover on the verge of complete darkness, Spoelstra gives them a highly charged, cinematic quality and a sense of intensified feeling. Nordic Noir refers to the genre of crime fiction in Scandinavian books and films.

    Renie Spoelstra | Nordic Noir on vimeo

    Her new series of charcoal drawings consists of seemingly random images of Scandinavian landscapes that could be the ‘in between shots’ of a Nordic Noir TV series. The randomness of these images demystifies our romantic conception of Scandinavian landscapes, which coincides with the degradation of nature through climate change and mass tourism, often incited by blockbuster movies that draw large groups of people to original film sites. For her newest work, Spoelstra is bothered by a cruel paradox: “In my heart I am a true romantic who prefers to flee into nature, but hot topics such as mass tourism (through boredom and decadence) and climate change cast a dark shadow over this urge.

  • Soleils Noirs at Louvre-Lens
    Poetic and sensory, the exhibition offers a unique encounter with masterpieces of modern painting and allows the discovery of an inspiring contemporary art. Nearly 75 years after the legendary exhibition Le Noir est une Couleur, visitors to the Louvre-Lens are immersed in the fascinating observation of this tonality with plural symbolism in Western arts, from antiquity to the present day.

  • A Passion for Drawing, The Guerlain Collection from the Centre Pompidou
    Ever since the 1990s, Florence and Daniel Guerlain’s interest has been focused on contemporary drawing, and the two have by now accumulated an extensive collection of works by internationally known artists. 2013 saw this couple donate part of their collection—totaling 1,200 drawings—to the Centre Pompidou in Paris. And now, as the first Central European museum to do so, the Albertina Museum is providing a glimpse into the Guerlains’ activities as collectors by showing a selection of highlights from these holdings.

    Ever since the 1990s, Florence and Daniel Guerlain’s interest has been focused on contemporary drawing, and the two have by now accumulated an extensive collection of works by internationally known artists. They are also the initiators and sponsors of the Prix de dessin, which is conferred annually by a jury.

  • Soloshow at the foyer of the beautiful organic building of the Dutch corporate N.V. Nederlandse Gasunie, Groningen. A selection of work over the past decade of Renie Spoelstra’s oeuvre.

  • Warande, Turnhout

    With ‘The Gulf Between’, de Warande presents an exhibition about black, white and everything in between. The title refers to the first American film production in technicolor. This film from 1917 has largely been lost. Only a few fragments still exist.

    In the work of the artists in this exhibition, tones of gray show the upper hand. The disappearance of color is part of the core of their practice. In this way they create a world that connects with reality in a different way. This tonal world reflects reality as we experience it as a non-objective participant. The reality where memories, visions, and estrangement make their mark. That is why – contrary to what we suspect hearing the word gray – these works are far from dull, and often contain a great deal of tension.
    When color photography made its appearance, photographers remained stuck to black-and-white photography. Because the possibilities of expression are different. Even in painting, there are early examples of black / white or gray works.

    In the 1980s, specifically in Belgium, the movement within the painting in which the color deteriorated, with painters such as Luc Tuymans and Bert De Beul. And more recently, there are artists who have driven this even further to extremes. For example, artists like Hans Op de Beeck who also applied this in sculpture. The omission of color has therefore been given a permanent place in different media, for example in terms of obvious charcoal drawings, but also in painting, sculpture, video art, and so on.
    In this exhibition de Warande brings together a rich selection of contemporary artworks in a palette of black, white and gray that make you experience the power of colorlessness in different ways.

  • Willehad Eilers aka Wayne Horse / Simon Schrikker / Renie Spoelstra / Reinoud van Vught / Riette Wanders
    PHK18 #16: according to the line

    PHK18 is proud to present According to The Line. The 16th iteration of PHK18 revolves around drawing with works by Riette Wanders, Reinoud van Vught, Renie Spoelstra, and, murals by Simon Schrikker and Willehad Eilers aka Wayne Horse.

    The line perpetually heads in a different direction. Riette Wanders’ expressive charcoal drawings focus on essential elements such as form, line, and surface. With the act of painting at the core, Reinoud van Vught’s colorful drawings incorporate explosive organic forms. Recreating scenic landscapes in charcoal based on film footage, Renie Spoelstra conceives drawings with a delicate balance between light and dark. Drawing in thick layers of oil paint, Simon Schrikker creates dynamic drawings depicting fighting dogs that burst of energy. Willehad Eilers aka Wayne Horse will conceive a mural in his quick and vibrant drawing language.

    The energetic all over compositions of the works reinforce each other when brought together. Their visual charisma and dark earthy tones bring a raw quality to the exhibition. Follow the line and see for yourself how they flow into each other.

  • This year’s Art Brussels :new work presented by Ron Mandos Gallery Amsterdam.

    Black Beach, fresh work based on enigmatic volcanic black beaches of Iceland, combined with the series Longing and black beaches from La Palma. The images and associations trigger logical connections in the mind of the Viewer, senses are sharpened and the image seems to become detached from its normal context: all forces balanced as the dead point of the swing. The moment holding its breath. As a deep existential desire or longing.

  • 2017-06-10 until 2017-07-15

    New solo show at Ron Mandos Gallery Amsterdam.
    Now, for the first time, Spoelstra’s USA landscapes will be shown alongside her Scandinavian landscapes. The melancholic loneliness that is so prevalent in these landscapes are balanced with a sense of freedom of being immersed in nature. At times, she spends weeks in order to capture the feeling of a place.
    Themes of Intensity, secrecy and mystery are reoccurring in Spoelstra’s works. There is an alluring and mythical feel of a place. The series ‘Stretching Universe,’ which is also on display, refers to the scientific fact that our universe is expanding, while here on earth it feels as though it is shrinking with the rise of xenophobia, narrow-mindedness and the continuous threats of climate change. Fleeing, or escaping to nature is not as easy as it may seem.

  • Group show curated by Stefan Serneels, at Marion de Canniere Antwerp. With Bart Baele, Steven Baelen, Virginie Bailly, Anouk de Clerq, Atallah, Leon & Cocina Diluvio Productions, Bruno Hardt, Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys, Nick van Dijck, Renato Nicolodi, Philippe Vandenberg, Stefan Serneels and Renie Spoelstra.

    Museum Kranenburgh Bergen BLACK. From charcoal to high-res displays artists who choose for simplicity, for restriction
    and for the contrast of dark and light. They leave the colours untouched and choose
    for black to create a work as pithy as possible. Charcoal drawings, black-and-white photographs,
    wall reliefs and sculptures balance between abstract and figurative, between the perceptible and the invisible.

  • Exciting news! The Louis-Dreyfus Family Collection purchased two works of my brand new series Stretching Universe this month: Stretching Universe part 1Coast and Stretching Universe part 3, Reflected Wetlands.

    The last six months I’ve worked on my new series Stretching Universe, part…, for which I connect cinematic characteristics with “authentic” landscapes of breathtaking nature. Stretching Universe refers to the scientific fact that our universe is expanding, while at the same time people on earth have become less tolerant towards each other and in this respect the world thus seems to be shrinking due to narrow-mindedness.

    Two men on a fragile boat, a trip to sea – a few drinks, a bite to eat – when one of them decides to push on to the open ocean. Suddenly there they are: among the distant islands, the threatening fog and gathering swell of the sea, bound together on an odyssey into the unknown.

    Jon Fosse’s work includes novels, poetry, essays and books for children. He is one of the most produced playwrights in Europe and his plays have been translated into forty languages.

  • Florence and Daniel Guerlain Donation

    By Jonas Storsve, curator of the Musée National d’Art Moderne graphic arts department, and exhibition curator

    The Centre Pompidou is devoting an exhibition to the remarkable works on paper generously donated by Florence and Daniel Guerlain in January 2012. The two collectors built up a collection of over 1,200 drawings over a period of fifteen years, with works by over 200 artists from thirty-odd different countries.

  • Tent Rotterdam presents a groupshow with Silvia B., Marc Bijl, Marielle Buitendijk, Dario D’Aronco, Jeroen Kuster, Charl Landvreugd, Dirk van Lieshout, Sandro Setola, Renie Spoelstra en Fiona Weir. The artist’s work in Dark Matters takes you to a place whose nature is not immediately revealed, a universe that seems to be elsewhere, in the past, in a fantasy or in the subconscious. And yet, the images are etched in the collective subconscious, or we recognise them from movies, a dream or the news. What unites these works is a sense of discovery through feeling your way around. Dark Matters searches for a moment where the world becomes inexplicable, mysterious, and indefinable.

  • Rijksmuseum Twenthe presents Spoelstra’s first soloshow at a major Dutch Museum. An overview of her work over the past 10 years, from her early “Recreational Area’s” to her latest work, based on Northern American landscape.

    ‘You Are Here’ is an exhibition of Dutch contemporary visual art at the intersection –one might even say coordinates given the context- of two agendas.

    On one hand the show is drawn from artists who have (previously) been nominated for the Sovereign European Art Prize, underscoring NL’s collaboration with the Sovereign Art Foundation.

    However, rather than being a simple review or listing, the second agenda has been to draw on specific work from the eclectic group of nominees in order to elaborate a cohesive curatorial thematic. In this case it is one that fits aptly with the mission of NL – The Dutch Cultural Pop-Up Space in London.

Voor deze tentoonstelling is het nieuwe collectieplan voor de Nederlandse kunst van na 1945 het uitgangspunt. Hierin ligt de nadruk op de verwantschappen tussen de kerncollecties. Vanuit de hedendaagse kunst maken vijf thema’s de verbinding met NUL en CoBrA. De thema’s zijn: Oorlog, Dieren, Materie, Reizen, Ritme & Regelmaat.
    Samen met elf eindexamen leerlingen van het Stedelijk Gymnasium in Schiedam is het concept van de tentoonstelling verder uitgewerkt. De leerlingen hebben als assistent-conservatoren met de directeur van het museum een keuze van werken gemaakt, zaalteksten geschreven en innovatieve ideeën aangeleverd voor de vormgeving en inrichting van de tentoonstelling.
