Museum le Secet : Too Late for Apologies
July 21st, 2010 - September 20, 2011
Amsterdam / Rotterdam
Curated by Simon Schrikker
The exhibition Too Late For Apologies shows the work of four internationally active artists who follow a different artistic direction but all show their work as a result of prior assumptions and dynamics ...
Kris van Dessel (Antwerp, Belgium)
Hovering between the figurative and abstraction, between organic forms and architectural organisation, Kris’ paintings create a chaos that is somehow kept in check by a visual logic. It is the logic of tectonic plates, of planes and forms moving gradually over each other, both overlapping and uncovering each other in a vast surrounding space.
Onno Poeisz (Rotterdam, the Netherlands)
For his sculptures Poeisz uses the experience and the effects of sampling of already existing forms. The result is the origin of a modern mythical world, sometimes for the place that it’s in, and sometimes referring to the zap-culture.
Scott Everingham (Toronto, Canada)
Oil paint makes up the structure and life of architecture and the human form and its materiality is used as a tool to modify notions of familiar perception. Influenced by fiction, film, and spontaneity, Scott’s work extends to both the abstract and the representational, where the animate language of paint lends life to what may be experienced as very real and new places.
GUES (Paris, France)
Moment 1 :10 minutes sketchin’
Moment 2 : From 5 to 60 minutes painting in the streets without getting caught
Moment 3 : 2 minutes taking pics
Moment 4 : 2 or 3 days painting the chosen pic
Moment 1 … It’s a question of time…
With this exhibition a catalog will be published, which will be released October/November, 2010 with an essay by Herman Hernandez
