Zachte Drempel is the first solo exhibition by The Hague based artist Catelijne Boele. After receiving the Stroom Pro Invest grant, Boele deepened her practice by focusing on a new series of large-scale oil paintings, which have continued to evolve into sculptural elements. These works are a reflection of a dream world, inspired by her recent bird-watching experiences. “The paintings, with their soft transitional moments, seem to mirror the shifts in my own life – becoming vibrant layers of colour, interwoven with layers of longing, fantasy and a deeper memory of loss.” Documentation: Emilia Martin

Birdwatching hides have intrigued me over the past year; they allow the birdwatcher to come closer to the birds while becoming invisible themselves - blending into the colours of the landscape. This tension between visibility and invisibility, and the attempt to come closer through disappearance, has been important for the development of these dreamlike structures. These gentle apparitions have become soft, safe capsules, which invite visitors to temporarily dissolve.

The diptych “Songs between the trees & When the flowers start their humming” explores the human subconscious from an emotionally sensitive point of experience. The titles refer to natural elements, such as trees and flowers which start their humming and singing. Hence the human mind takes on a metaphorical and intuitive form, in this overall construction of dreamlike and natural elements.

In my practice I question how memories transform into their own being, how they develop through time and are in constant interaction with imagination. The body of work I developed during my residency at Taidetila Muijala, was made with the old granary storage in mind; a very atmospheric space with little daylight. Each painting contains parts of buildings, structures and objects from my memories. Even though a building is in need of a stable construction in order to be functional, a memory is often unstructured and inevitably changing through time. The connection between these two elements has intrigued me during my process and resulted in a series of paintings, which were partly integrated into a sculptural work.

These vitrines hold the soundscape created for the exhibition Netting and Waiting, which interweaves recorded conversations with women of Scheveningen and the sounds of their environment - the harbor, the singing of net-making women, the waves, and the seagulls. Installed in these specially designed vitrines, alongside the net-making needles (Boetnaalden), the soundscape seeks to create a fleeting connection between the past and present of craft-based labor. Vitrines created in collaboration with Elina Alekseeva Technical assistance: Sjuul Joosen Support sound design: Christine Hvidt Documentation: Anke van den Berg Shown as part of the exhibition Netting and Waiting, curated by Catelijne Boele and Elina Alekseeva For a full overview of the exhibition visit: https://www.seelab.nl/program/2024/nettingandwaiting Special thanks to the women of Scheveningen who shared their stories, MuZee Scheveningen for lending the historical objects, and Stroom Den Haag for their financial support.

KABK Graduation Project: I don’t feel the water anymore As sweat drips Down my back It is relentless It does not care Who I am And that is why It pushes and pulls My legs My feet Do I swim or dance? Scream With joy or anger As I am Shaped Shifted Crumbled, tumbled Falling, Down Down Down we go The maelstrom is a natural disaster. A whirlpool in the ocean, which pulls every object, human or creature of the sea, down to the bottom. It maintains its existence through constant movement; swirling and relentlessly moving water, spiraling down into the sea. Objects and creatures caught by its overwhelming power, shift in appearance; growing longer legs, or becoming estranged images to human perception, while shaping and shifting in form. The phenomenon symbolizes the overwhelming feeling of being out of control. As the spiraling water is so powerful, there is no use in resisting. Only in surrendering; going down with the elements and everything else that gets caught in its movement. Hoping for the best, while the water pushes and pulls relentlessly.

Deze installatie neemt een faseovergang over. Het object (vaas uit het begin van de 20e eeuw) legt zijn kwetsbare aard bloot door gevangen te worden tussen twee fasen van zijn. Door een machineturbulance orkestreert de vaas zijn eigen manoeuvres, voor onze ogen vliegend in een reeks onherkenbare posities. Een film met een gesplitst scherm vergroot de verhalen van balans, aanpassing, gemotoriseerd leven, simulatie en eeuwigdurend gedrag.

Het project begon met het bouwen van antennes om elektromagnetische golven te ontvangen die vrijkomen door de machines van De Electriciteitsfabriek, Den Haag. De stroom die in bepaalde perioden van de nacht werd geproduceerd, had rechtstreeks betrekking op piekgebruik van warmte in de stad. Ter vergelijking: informatie werd ook verzameld buiten de perimeter van het European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk. Deze verzameling gegevens is een doorlopend onderzoek dat wordt gematerialiseerd en fysiek wordt gemaakt door aluminium buizen te beschrijven. Via een zelfgebouwd elektrolysesysteem worden beschrijvingen, symbolen en onbewerkte gegevens statisch gemaakt. Deze buizen worden vervolgens terug geplaatst op de plaatsen van elektromagnetische verzameling. In samenwerking met Zuzanna Zgierska

Ergens afgelopen winter, toen hij zijn atelier binnenkwam merkte Bo dat er wat vreemde vlekken op één van de schilderijen waar hij aan werkte op de vloer zaten. Een muis leek over het schilderij te zijn gelopen en had overal op het doek kleine voetafdrukken achtergelaten. De ontdekking van deze schijnbaar onbedoelde samenwerking plantte een zaadje in Bo's hoofd om onderzoek te doen naar niet-menselijke samenwerking. "De Vlucht" is een werk gemaakt in samenwerking met vogels. Op het Rabbijn Maarsenplein achter de Nieuwe Kerk in Den Haag creëerde Bo een omgeving voor vogels om kunst te maken. Hij legde drie soorten dun papier neer en legde bakstenen in de hoeken van het papier op straat. Daarna kraakte hij een ei op het papier en probeerde het eigeel in het midden van het papier te mengen met een pigment om een geïmproviseerde ei-temperaverf te maken - een verf die het meest natuurlijk en veilig is voor vogels om mee te werken. Na het toevoegen van indigo pigment was het aan de vogels om aan de slag te gaan. Bo strooide een zak pinda's rond deze papieren vellen, waardoor veel vogels om hem heen dromden en samen aan de stukken werkten terwijl ze hun buikjes rond aten. Duiven van over het hele plein deden mee en maakten drie unieke kunstwerken.

Working on cottons typically used for underclothing, with a silicone-based solution which dries with a still-wet-look, the sweat paintings I’ve been making since 2017 capture forms derived from studies of perspiration as it emerges on our clothing. These works explore the fluidity of sweat and the oppositional themes of labour, sex, illness, exercise and nervousness that it can suggest. They highlight a concern that runs throughout my work, of the body as an object at the threshold of our social/exterior and psychological/inner life. I hold a particular interest in sweat as an intimate, involuntary expression of discomfort, triggered by our being in the world, being looked upon, being thought about. We cannot make ourselves sweat, but the thought of others thinking about us can. In this way, sweat represents an intersubjective event, the interchange of thoughts and feelings between individuals. My interest in the subject continues to grow because of the way it challenges our assumptions about self-control and blurs the lines between self, other and society.

During a three month residency as part of 'Fold #03 on Happiness', – the third chapter in SEA Foundation’s research on art and sustainability – I held open conversations with the people around me, exploring how others understand happiness, how they experience it and what role it plays in their lives. This starting point led to an extended text based on my recollections of these conversations. Through writing I began to reflect further on what happiness means to me. The conversations, most of which were made with my closest friends and family, took place at a pivotal time, as my partner and I prepared for the arrival of our first child. I began questioning the ‘everyday happiness’ and the ease at which I enjoy it, against the challenge of creating a foundation for long-term happiness, before critically regarding the impulse to isolate a single emotion in the first place. Made during a COVID lockdown, the written work was presented as part of an instagram takeover, with one conversation being shared per day. The image shared here concerns the first of 11 conversations that were shared at that time.

(Part of the exhibition ‘56 risks, 55 risks transferred, and three parts of three risks transferred and embroidered […]’) We continued the workshop for the duration of the festival and the organisers extended its use of their primary gallery space for a further two months. It developed organically and came to include an open exhibition of works of embroidery that people shared with us. I transferred all of the ‘risks’ (a literal translation from the Portuguese which means ‘sketch’) that we made to record our discussions, onto the walls of the gallery themselves, demonstrating the reflective symmetry which was so important to Azorean embroidery. The ‘map’ of the exhibition space was prefixed with the disclaimer ‘–The open form of the workshop and its exhibition produces content and involves contributors that are subject to change. This works list was accurate at the time of writing, on the day that the exhibition opened.–’ and the exhibition was eventually titled: 56 risks, 55 risks transferred, and three parts of three risks transferred and embroidered, surround the common cloth for the open embroidery workshop with matiz on silk, a rustic stitch, a water wheel, a Picasso, some Mexican motifs and a Yugoslavian tapestry.

(Part of the exhibition ‘56 risks, 55 risks transferred, and three parts of three risks transferred and embroidered […]’) A recent development in my work has been to use open invitations to foreground dialogue in an exhibition context, through social actions concerned with the way we interrelate. For an arts festival in the Azores, I shared the way I usually initiate projects –by engaging with a technique or material– in an open collaboration with others. My intention was to unify the praxis-based approach I use to think/feel through making/materials, with the underlying social concerns that often form the basis of the content of my work. I became interested in hand-embroidery, which I encountered for the first time on a visit to Sao Miguel and which was, historically speaking, widely practiced throughout the archipelago. I could see parallels between my own practice and embroidery’s concern with self-representation, our social being in public. It also shares with my own perspective on contemporary art a performative quality in the way it is used to make-special spaces/objects for a specific period of time. I proposed using the time and space of the festival to initiate an open embroidery workshop. The workshop included practitioners with a lifetime of experience, some experience and others like myself who had no experience. Some we specifically invited, most responded to a widely distributed open invitation, and others were passers-by from the neighbourhood. For nine days, the gallery-space was transformed into a meeting point for understanding and exploring embroidery’s relationship to a raft of intersecting concerns such as gender, class, cultural identity, socio-political history, modernity, industrialisation, leisure, ceremony and interpersonal relations. There were no predefined outcomes, no hierarchy and membership of the workshop was fluid, people came and went. I asked simple questions like what is embroidery? and, what does it do? The shared understanding we developed was captured through written notes made on large sheets of embroidery design paper.

(Part of the exhibition ‘56 risks, 55 risks transferred, and three parts of three risks transferred and embroidered […]’) The project was ambitious and expansive, challenging many of the boundaries and preconceptions that were held in the context of the festival. Our approach to interdisciplinary knowledge drew on the ‘knowledge ecology’ of all members. We shared authorship, in contrast to the structural hierarchy in place elsewhere in the festival that placed artists above artisans. In an exhibition context we created a productive space that was continuously in flux. We resisted defining a physical outcome or process, and re-negotiated what we would do in the workshop every day with each new group of participants. The word ‘craft’ was never used and as with ‘tradition’, I came to view it as part of a legacy of modernity, in which communal art practices, often the work of women, were denigrated and condemned as a making process of the ‘past’ from which modern art was defined against.

As part of the arts festival Walk&Talk in the Azores, I worked in collaboration with embroiderer Maria da Conceição Mansinho, artisan Ana Medeiros and artisan and textile researcher Sofia Silva to form an open embroidery workshop. The act of embroidering was highlighted as a relational and social practice, in which the agency and participation of diverse forms of knowledge came together to produce a practical essay on communality. For nine days, the central exhibition space vaga was transformed into a meeting point for understanding and exploring embroidery’s relationship to labour, to the hand-made, to the industrial, to free time, to ceremony, family, men, women, tradition, modernity, cultural identity, symmetry; asking what embroidery is, what it could be, and what common spaces are, or could be. The exhibition presented and continued this process. The title of the presentation, which was extended for a further two months after the festival ended, describes 56 notations on tracing paper, 55 of them carbon transferred on to the gallery walls, 3 parts of them embroidered, a large shared cloth used as a communal space for practicing embroidery and an open exhibition of works of embroidery that were shared with the workshop.

In 2020 I collected all of the preparatory drawings I had made for sweat paintings in an artists’ book, designed and riso-printed with Studio Hendriksen. The studies are a step between researching images of sweat and making the paintings, with their job being to abstract sweat from its context, ahead of displacing it into the space of a painting. Sweat was conceived to expand on this process, share the original sources and linger on the subject. I self-published Sweat under The Kippenberger Challenge imprint ‘7.45 Books’ and secured international distribution for it through Motto Books. It was nominated for De Best Verzorgde Boeken 2020 by a student jury.

From an ongoing series of ‘umble prints, which I use as a space to bring together divergent areas of interest, sources, references and hesitant starting points in improvised ‘blind-tiled’ compositions. ‘Fumble’ was made on a riso-printer across four A3 pages in four different coloured layers. It incorporates a line drawing of curator Freek Lomme’s speaking head (printed in two colours), an iphone photograph of page 169 of ‘Stress: The Nature and History of Engineered Grief’ by Robert Kugelmann, a 3d SketchUp mock-up for a proposal in public space of an ‘Behavioural Residue’ and a list of words/quotations and starting points for new works.

From a series of sculptures made by casting in lead enlarged drawings of pared fingernails that I find on the floor of my studio. The work began as an attempt to make a visual oxymoron in which the material and technique of a piece is contradicted by the form it portrays. It was the end product and not the process that I was interested in, the meta-state of something which is two things at once, in this case a confident portrayal of doubt, made out of a very heavy and poisonous metal orientated to form a smile. In 2019 a number of them had their toxic surface refreshed with a metallic paint finish in colours derived from popular nail polishes.

Working on cottons typically used for underclothing, with a silicone-based solution which dries with a still-wet-look, the sweat paintings I’ve been making since 2017 capture forms derived from studies of perspiration as it emerges on our clothing. These works explore the fluidity of sweat and the oppositional themes of labour, sex, illness, exercise and nervousness that it can suggest. They highlight a concern that runs throughout my work, of the body as an object at the threshold of our social/exterior and psychological/inner life. I hold a particular interest in sweat as an intimate, involuntary expression of discomfort, triggered by our being in the world, being looked upon, being thought about. We cannot make ourselves sweat, but the thought of others thinking about us can. In this way, sweat represents an intersubjective event, the interchange of thoughts and feelings between individuals. My interest in the subject continues to grow because of the way it challenges our assumptions about self-control and blurs the lines between self, other and society.

In 2019, for a solo exhibition at Bloc Projects in Sheffield, I challenged myself to be more direct with the social content of my work, whilst at the same time introducing chance to define the physical characteristics of the exhibition. I found myself photographing sandbags I saw used in public space in the region, which, being a similar size and mass to a human torso, can often take highly emotive anthropomorphic forms. Sandbags are typically used as a quick response to temporary conditions: from simply acting as a weight to stabilise a road sign, or defending a property from flood water. I related this ‘heavy-thing’ to both (historically) sculptural concerns and a physical experience of depression. I started making my own sandbags out of ‘loungewear’ I found stocked in abundance in nearby shops and market stalls. I became fascinated by this material as a new category of clothing that speaks of a contemporary lifestyle spent largely indoors and alone. At the same time I began collecting bedroom furniture that I found illegally dumped on the streets. ‘Fly-tipping’, as it’s called in the UK, is a growing phenomenon that I saw as a reflection of the material reality of insecure housing and the unsustainable economics of mass produced furniture which means that our main problem as consumers is how we can dispose of our current possessions so that we can buy more. Inspired by John Martin’s paintings of apocalyptic floods, I brought these elements together by flooding the gallery with shallow water, creating a narrative in which the sand-filled loungewear climbed on top of the bedroom furniture and became marooned on flat packed islands.

Solo exhibition developed on a residency with Onomatopee, Eindhoven, bringing together groupings of four interrelated series of works: 'Night sweat paintings', 'Semblable wood, 'Rubin’s cornice' and "‘umble prints". It was the first in a series that I made in 2019 that explored domestic scenes through lyrical ‘dream spaces’ between imagination and reality. In the gallery of Dürst Britt & Mayhew the juxtaposition of a diverse arrangement of works was used to explore a shifting perspective of lived experience.

(Part of the exhibition ‘Ecstatic, darkling with […]’) Semblable wood was made using a variation of the lost wax technique, with found tree stumps surrounded by plaster before being incinerated, their voids replaced with bronze which is then broken out of the mould. The resulting casts formed a fossilised assembly of young trees felled upon reaching maturity. Occupying the entire floorspace, the modest monuments with trunks the span of wrists and roots that reached out pointlessly, situated the exhibition in the midst of an unseen act of destruction and, in combination with the night sweat paintings, suggested a common dreamscape.

81 found eyelashes were scanned directly on to the drum of a risograph printer and printed, one per spread, to irritate the context of an exhibition catalogue published to accompany the exhibition ‘Faltering, light under two screw holes…’ at SE8 Gallery, London. The book was designed with Chantal Hendriksen, I riso-printed the main book block in her studio, with additional offset printing of the cover and inserts taken care of by Lenoirschuring. Published under SE8’s imprint Mulberry Tree Press, it was nominated by the student jury for Best Verzorgde Boeken 2019.

November 28, 2024, Naples Secretly, I call your Name It's midnight and pitch dark. I am awakened by a whispering sound that belongs to my mother's voice,she is sitting next to me with her eyes closed and hands folded in her lap. Mama Gloria is repeating something over and over, I hold my breath, prick my ears and listen carefully to what is being said. Slowly it is beginning to dawn on me and I understand what she is saying: “Papa, papa please help me, papa papa please help me, please show me the way, help me out papa. Thank you.” At that moment, my heart falls into pieces, my breath ceases and I don't know what to make of this, questions are buzzing around in my mind like wasps being stuck in a jar, to whom is she talking.? The Holy Father? I turn around, slowly release my breath, close my eyes and pretend to sleep, I never say a word... a memory by Dana LaMonda, 2025

Day One Being summoned by the call of early morning prayers and the smell of Turkish coffee, my wanderlust awakes. I rise, seize the camera and within minutes find myself emerging into the hustle and bustle of daily life, strolling along the streets of Istanbul, navigating through secret alleyways and city dust. Surrounded by vivid colors, a chorus of seagulls, cats, traffic, streetvenders, and an eclectic mix of people. Embraced warmly by the locals, I am invited into their hearts and homes eager to be portaited, it feels like time itself pauses. My camera is clicking away, trying to capture it all.

Moon Gallery Foundation is developing an art gallery to be sent to the Moon, which will contribute to the establishment of the first lunar outpost. 100 artworks will be integrated into a 10 x 10 x 1 grid tray to fly to the Moon in 2025. The Moon is the ultimate home of the gallery, but the idea neither starts nor ends there: our work is based on expanding humanity’s cultural dialogue beyond our home planet. The point where the gallery will meet the cosmos for the first time in low Earth orbit in 2022. For this Test Flight in collaboration with Nanoracks, we fly the gallery to the International Space Station aboard the NG-17 rocket within the framework of a Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply mission in February of 2022. This edition of the gallery grid features 8×8 cells housing 64 physical artefacts and one engraved AR artwork. 65 art projects featured in the gallery will reach the final frontier of human habitat and mark the historical meeting point of the Moon Gallery and the cosmos. Reaching low Earth orbit on our way to the Moon is the first step in extending our cultural dialogue to space.

n the centre of the main Quartair gallery space Dana LaMonda’s suspended heavy charred-looking door frames a shadowy vanishing point imprinted on glass. It seemed both ominous and uplifting. The glass serves as a point of perspective and sort of viewing point through the massive barrier but it is too high and too opaque to allow a view through. Instead the door remains as an object and the glass serves as a screen, leading the eye up.

HOK gallery: Thursday 16 July – Saturday 8 August 2020 Vernissage from Thursday 16 July 17h00 until Saturday 18h00 using time-slots The small underground venue HOK offers the perfect spot for the solo exhibition: One Minute, by the Hague photographer Dana LaMonda. Her show highlights an installation and photographs from the world of Rosaly, who puts her everyday clothes in her locker and exchanges them for her fishnet stockings and a pair of palette panties for the night. Her hair is covered by a red wig that is no prettier than her real hair. The tendon room: there it should be done and quickly. Rosaly is now Joe. It is a transformation process that leaves behind the residue of a hard day’s night, corona or not. How much sperm can a floor have, and who feels no respect for Joe, this powerful lady. How can you have sex while keeping a safe distance of 1.5 meters? Contact through holes, and with this: the return of the glory hole from ancient times, holes where you can put something through and then it is done. Plastic sheets for extra hygiene, a disinfectant spray: as long as we do it quickly and safely. Prostitution 2020. The colour of Dana’s photos are dominated by pink and blue. Here we see the documentary photographer Dana pur sang: showing a world that is real. The exposition will be accompanied by a limited edition HOK publication, all-in riso. As Dana LaMonda describes it: “ One Minute, is about being wild, being bold. It is an ode to women and her creative ability that nourishes and gives: "She has the creative power to take on any desired outer or inner appearance, she can make and destroy.”

One Minute As time drips and sounds penetrate, Footsteps become louder, then stop. The Doorbell rings twice. I get up. Heading towards the door, I slide into high heels and put on a wig. I take a last glance at my reflection. I like what I see. Today I am a redhead.

To the Moon and Back And Back Again? Women give life to this world. The life that grows inside them captures the whole world. The female body helps foster new life forms and gives birth to existence. She is like stardust, an essential link in the chain of creation. My choice is to send one of my photograph’s displaying a naked woman to the moon. The image will be cut up with a laser and the heat of the laser beam will reduce the image into particles of matter and in this way it will be transformed into stardust. This laser process creates an opportunity to insert these particles into the Moon Gallery’s cube and to travel with it to the moon.

“The Velvet Zone 2017,” een levensgrote installatie bestaande uit duizenden zwart-wit beelden die in collage-vorm bevestigd zijn aan de muur, elkaar overlappen en op deze manier weer nieuwe beelden vormen. Groeiende vanuit een piepkleine kamer ’’het kabinetje” naar de omringende wanden van de tentoonstellingszaal, net als een zwerm vogels de hoogte in. Het kabinetje had de sfeer van een peeskamer, intiem, schaars verlicht, een tikkie broeierig. De woekerende uitgroei vanuit de gestileerde werkelijkheid van de peeskamer naar de witte wanden van de tentoonstellingsruimte hielp me over mijn angst voor de witte wand heen. Voorheen gewend om in losse foto’s aan de muur te denken, heb ik in dit onderzoek de stap gezet naar een installatieve vorm van presenteren. Met de nadruk op mijn liefde voor volheid en het gevecht tijdens de ordening en selectie van die volheid, als het naar buiten gaat in een expo. Wat me tegenstaat in de ‘losse foto’s in lijst’ benadering is de verkleining / reductie van de werkelijkheid. Ik ben gek op chaos, denk in chaos en wil deze behouden in mijn werk. Dat betekent niet ‘niet -ordenen’, zeker niet. Zonder ordening en selectie is er geen kunst te maken, dan kan ik net zo goed toeschouwers gewoon de wereld in laten lopen. Al werkend komt bij mij, na de eerste liefde voor chaos altijd de strijd met de tegenhanger aan bod: ordening en selectie. Deze installatie was een groot onderzoek naar: “Hoe de chaos, de volheid van het leven, te behouden zonder die in ene kunstwerk stilistisch te ver te reduceren.” Door een geordende chaos aan te bieden, en niet een serie ‘losse foto’s in lijsten’ kon ik het publiek die laatste -reducerende- stap laten maken: foto-vlakken uitkaderen en na afloop mee naar huis nemen. De finale selectie gaf ik zo uit handen.

Nomination 2016, Van Ommeren-De Voogt price Jury Rapport, Dana LaMonda with her installation Vanishing Point, This work shows a mysterious depth and gives a lonely and abandoned feeling. It draws attention and invites you to walk around it several times. The jury experiences an uncanny feeling, it exudes coldness but is luminous at the same time. The installation is completely aesthetic but agitates your thought process. It evokes questions and that is an important effect of art.

Wat je op de foto niet ziet, is het subtiele ritmische getik. Het hoofd van Loepel is een bewerkte koepel waarin een touwtje eindeloos ronddraait. Met zachte tikken raakt het de wand en tekent vluchtige lussen in de lucht. De vorm balanceert tussen abstractie en herkenning als een oog, een hoofd, holle wereldbol, een sprong door een hoepel.

Windy is een luchtige sculptuur met een centrale toren van verticale ventilatoren, waardoor blauwe linten fladderen en de sculptuur ook een draaiende beweging maakt. Het werk is ontwikkeld tijdens een zomerresidentie in Frankfurt, waar de lichte en speelse sfeer goed tot zijn recht kwam. Bovenin vormt een ruimtelijke compositie van draden een tegengestelde beweging, waardoor een samenspel van lijnen ontstaat. Het werk belichaamt een sierlijke, licht ironische aanwezigheid die de atmosfeer van de ruimte beïnvloedt.

‘Room to Live’ is a duo exhibition by Leslie Nagel (NL) and David Powell (UK) The title of the exhibition is taken from a song by Manchester band The Fall (1976-2018) and reflects both artists shared interests in energy, movement, sound, music, tainted glamour and the hand crafted object in a post digital world. The artists works are not a refutation of the digital, more an investigation into the consequences of living in the computer age. Once upon a time television and radio were mediums with huge experimental potential, nobody really knew what these mediums would birth which made them irresistible as the language had not been learnt, soon enough ‘regulation’ set in and programme schedules needed to be filled. So here we are perpetually sharing and consuming images, endlessly texting through cracked screens. Nagel and Powell take their time with things, they’re both equally fascinated with lo-fi analogue processes, things that leave indelible traces of subjectivity and inwardness, a give and take between skill and (de)skill, learning and unlearning. A healthy suspicion of established institutions can compel redirection so a restart can take place, the studio becomes a testing ground for necessary and urgent challenges to common held presumptions. Is the past tomorrow? History ushered into the present tense? In 1843 Søren Kierkegaard wrote a book about repetition; that it was a kind of ‘recollection forwards’. Nostalgia is too often underestimated. Do forms of time travel exist outside of sci-fi? There remains a collective desire to possess things when you know the object of your gaze and desire cannot be grasped. Just out of Reach. The exhibition will consist of sculptures, paintings and drawings that embody an attitude that strips away the fluff of the mainstream revealing something previously lost about to be reclaimed, a language? An escape route? A temporary journey into pure unequivocal joy? And when you smile. You know you blind me. To all the horrors I see. David Powell, October 2021

‘Room to Live’ is a duo exhibition by Leslie Nagel (NL) and David Powell (UK) The title of the exhibition is taken from a song by Manchester band The Fall (1976-2018) and reflects both artists shared interests in energy, movement, sound, music, tainted glamour and the hand crafted object in a post digital world. The artists works are not a refutation of the digital, more an investigation into the consequences of living in the computer age. Once upon a time television and radio were mediums with huge experimental potential, nobody really knew what these mediums would birth which made them irresistible as the language had not been learnt, soon enough ‘regulation’ set in and programme schedules needed to be filled. So here we are perpetually sharing and consuming images, endlessly texting through cracked screens. Nagel and Powell take their time with things, they’re both equally fascinated with lo-fi analogue processes, things that leave indelible traces of subjectivity and inwardness, a give and take between skill and (de)skill, learning and unlearning. A healthy suspicion of established institutions can compel redirection so a restart can take place, the studio becomes a testing ground for necessary and urgent challenges to common held presumptions. Is the past tomorrow? History ushered into the present tense? In 1843 Søren Kierkegaard wrote a book about repetition; that it was a kind of ‘recollection forwards’.

Verrijdbare sculptuur met een draaiend element aan de bovenzijde, omwikkeld met gekleurde draden. De pion heeft een speels en licht absurd karakter alsof het zin heeft in een feestje. De sculptuur reageert op zijn omgeving afhankelijk van positie en interactie. Te zien geweest: Out and About, NEST, Den Haag (2021)Room to Live met David Powell, NL=US Art, Rotterdam
