WorksStatementCVWorksStatement Michiel Kluiters (1971, Amsterdam) makes monumental, painterly photographs of empty spaces that you can step right into. The work is on the plane between sculpture, photography and painting. They are images of improvised architectural scale models that he builds in his studio and then photographs in razor-sharp detail. The combination of light and shadow,…

Landscapes in all dimensions
The German artist Ulrike Heydenreich (1975) is fascinated by maps and panoramic mountain landscapes. Her magical – and sometimes monumental – artworks express her desire for distant places. She records these vistas in drawing and objects, with collages and through folding techniques – or even a huge reflective kaleidoscope.
Infinity
Heydenreich toys with perspective and illusion, the difference being that she fabricates rather than replicates the view and shows you what you don’t see.
Flowers in Blue
Through the lens of Bas Meeuws

For the exhibition ‘Flowers in Blue’, Royal Delft commissioned Bas Meeuws to create new work and to place the Delft blue vases from the museum collection in a context where the vases belong,

Things Matter – Staatsgalerie Stuttgart
To complement the exhibition “Becoming Famous. Peter Paul Rubens, the Große Sonderausstellung of the state of Baden-Württemberg”, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart has shown an exhibition of contemporary photographs under the heading Things Matter. Here, the artists approach the Old Masters from a contemporary perspective. The striking portraits by Maxine Helfman, Suzanne Jongmans and Hendrik Kerstens translate elements of the 17th-century aesthetics into the present and demonstrate how pertinent an engagement with Rubens and his contemporaries can still be in the light of today’s profound social upheavals.
Modest Fashion – Stedelijk Museum Schiedam

Veiled, Unveiled! – The Headscarf
18 October 2018 to 26 February 2019
In the Christian tradition, the veil becomes a symbol of dignity, chasteness, and virginity, and Saint Paul urges women to veil their faces when talking to God. Loose hair is regarded as immoral and only accepted as the exclusive prerogative of the Virgin Mary. The covered head is one of the privileges of married women, similar to the traditional habit of nuns,

Bijna 2000 jaar geleden keek de mens het kunstje om papier te maken af van de wesp. Eeuw na eeuw werd dit ambacht doorgegeven aan de volgende generaties en die nieuwe generaties bedachten telkens weer nieuwe productiemethoden, vormen, soorten en toepassingen. De tentoonstelling ‘Paper Generations, Generations of Paper’, te zien van 24 maart t/m 30 juni 2018 bij Yksi Expo, geeft een verrassend beeld van dit alledaagse maar toch onopvallende materiaal. Van het aloude papier scheppen tot eigentijdse experimenten en van klassieke watermerken tot hedendaagse kunst en design.

Sound of Silence
Silence has become a rare commodity. Sound is everywhere; sometimes desired but often unwanted. […] In an environment that requires accessibility and availability, there is little room for the experience of peace and silence. Sounds of Silence offers visitors the opportunity to escape the noise of daily life and to enjoy the silence in contemporary visual art.
