Short description:
When arriving in Senegal you are immersed by photographs, stickers and paintings of their spiritual guides, who are called Serignes in Wolof. As a majority Muslim country, most of its population belong to a Sufi order, one of the most significant being Murridiyyah (Mouride). The exhibition Les Guides takes you on a spiritual path, and follows the research question: What are the current views on the images of the Serignes by the followers of Mouridism in Senegal? There is a belief that imagery is prohibited in Islam because Muslims are often perceived as not having icons, idols or pictures of God or religious heroes. However, there are Muslim communities in the world that embrace imagery such as the one in Senegal. The exhibition includes photography, glass paintings and calligraphy from a research trip to Senegal.

OPENING NIGHT: Friday 16th of JUNE | DOORS OPEN: 18:30-21:00On the opening night, Mayke Kagg, who is an expert on Islam in Senegal, will give you a brief insight on Islam in Senegal. In addition to that, the curator Idil Samatar will explain her research from Senegal.

THE BLUE OF THE FAR DISTANCE

THE BLUE OF THE FAR DISTANCE
Exhibition by: Emilia Martin
Open: June 24th -July 02 | 12:00-17:00 H
Opening: June 24th at 20.00 H

Short description:
“The blue of the far distance” is a long term research into the topic of human relationship with the starry night sky in times marked by light pollution. Throughout her research and making processes Emilia visited amateur observatories where light pollution was too strong to see anything in the sky above, hand crafted planetariums built in the intimate settings of living rooms, farms, sheds. Inspired by the notion of hand crafted skies Emilia weaves different universes into a new one - a hopeful speculation. “The blue of the far distance” is a place of positive escape accessible and democratically available, a constellation of stargazers, of darknesses and surreal landscapes, of ancient orreries and universes in human scales, a clash between mundane and sublime.

About the artist:
Emilia Martin is an artist passionate about storytelling and myths, primarily working with media of photography, sound and writing. She grew up between two radically different realities: her grandmother's remote, rural farm filled with ancient myths and magic in Eastern Poland, and her hometown, Silesia – a heavy industry coal mining region in the Western Poland marked by extractivism and patriarchy. A clash between these two realities formed a place which continues to nurture her artistic practice. Emilia’s work explores the power of speculation and reimagining the realities we inhabit.

(Nina)

In the poetry book 'Steeds verder van mij’ (further from me) Nina van Dijk tells a story about love, attraction and repulsion and a deep-seated longing for something that sometimes seems, or turns out to be, unreachable, Poems that are naked, raw, touching, heartwarming and full of love. The book will be presented on April 8, 2022 in the exhibition ‘jij & ik’ (you and me). The book will be published in an edition of 30, handmade and individually bound and packed with great care. Available during the exhibition and afterwards for €35 each.

………………
In de dichtbundel ‘Steeds verder van mij’ vertelt Nina van Dijk in 27 gedichten één verhaal over de liefde, aantrekken en afstoten en een diepgeworteld verlangen naar iets dat soms onbereikbaar (b)lijkt. Gedichten die naakt zijn, rauw, raak, hartverwarmend en vol liefde.

Op 8 april 2022 zal de bundel uitkomen in de tentoonstelling Jij en Ik. De bundel zal verschijnen in een oplage van 30, handgemaakt en stuk voor stuk met veel aandacht gebonden en verpakt. Tijdens de tentoonstelling en daarna verkrijgbaar voor €35,- per stuk.

In de ruimte is ook een soundscape te horen die ontwikkeld is in samenwerking met componist Merel van Hoek. De soundscape bevat fragmenten uit de dichtbundel ingesproken door de schrijver, aangevuld met het alsmaar doorgaande geluid van het alledaagse. Daarnaast worden er diverse kleine werken gepresenteerd die fragmenten uit de bundel vertalen.

(Annabelle)

In the exhibition ‘jij en ik’ (you and I) Annabelle Schatteman shows the second part of her work called 'under my spell'. The first part was shown in Kadmium Delft at the beginning of 2022 in a duo exhibition with Judith Schepers with the title 'that which grows in the dark'. 

In 'redeeming Belle' the artist takes you through her story in a hand-bound book with printed linocuts. In this she guides the viewer through a dark and alienating world in which a mystery unfolds. The mystery of Belle, which will not show itself easily, but wants to be told. The exhibition will also feature three-dimensional work that translates individual chapters from the book. 

The linoprints are available separately.
Some of the linoprints are printed on t-shirts and are for sale in limited edition for €35,-.

…………

In de expositie ‘jij & ik’ toont Annabelle Schatteman het tweede deel van het beeldverhaal ‘under my spell’. Het eerste deel was begin 2022 te zien in Kadmium Delft in een duo expositie met Judith Schepers met de titel ‘dat wat groeit in het duister’. 

In ‘redeeming Belle’ neemt de kunstenaar je mee in haar verhaal door middel van een hand gebonden boek met gedrukte linosnedes. Hierin (bege)leidt ze de kijker door een duistere en vervreemdende wereld waarin zich een mysterie ontvouwt. Het mysterie van Belle, dat zich niet zomaar laat zien maar wel degelijk verteld wil worden. 
In de exposite zal ook driedimensionaal werk te zien zijn die afzonderlijk hoofdstukken uit het boek vertalen.

De linoprints zijn apart verkrijgbaar.
Een aantal van de linoprints zijn afgedrukt op t-shirt en in beperkte oplage te koop voor €35,-.

Short description:
"As a maker I am always looking for unexpected aesthetic experiences. In my studio I try to make ordinary (found) objects and materials and emerging ideas talk to each other. Even though the conversation might start off boring or without focus, there always comes a moment when it becomes interesting and starts to take on a life of its own. This exhibition shows the latest works and insights from that experimental creative process." - Douwe Mulder

"Als maker ben ik altijd op zoek naar onverwachte esthetische ervaringen. In mijn studio probeer ik alledaagse en veelal gevonden voorwerpen en materialen en opkomende ideeën met elkaar in gesprek te brengen. Ook al begint dat gesprek soms saai of zonder focus er komt altijd een moment dat de conversatie interessant wordt en een eigen leven begint te leiden. In deze expositie zijn de laatste werken en inzichten uit dat experimentele maakproces te zien." - Douwe Mulder
