UP CLOSE, CLOSE UP
Solo by Geraldos dos Santos
@ Josilda da Conceição Gallery, Amsterdam

G. Dos Santos is interested in addressing personal memories by corrupting the readings of found images. Challenging people to make use of their own experiences, the large scale paintings display compositions of zoomed parts of found personal footages and aim at provoking a glitch in the viewer's consciousness.

UNEARTH - IN BETWEEN STATES OF MATTER
Film by Anika Schwarzlose in collaboration with Brian McKenna
Music: BJ Nilsen

The short film UNEARTH presents research into processes connected to resource extraction and zooms in on material transformations and mining machines. It weaves together fragments from conversations that were recorded in the Russian Ural Mountain region, dealing with the emergence of new minerals, an obsession with stones and the life cycle of machines.

ON DEMAND 4: BETWEEN SELF AND OTHER
@ Gallery Tegenboschvanvreden, Amsterdam

Speaking here is curator Ellis Kat, who conceived the concept of ON DEMAND 4: Between Self and
Other. "When I was asked to compile a new edition of ON DEMAND, it occurred to me that during such times the exhibition had to be about the closeness of the other. The bubbles in which we are all forced to live these days do offer security, but they also make it easy to avoid confrontations with 'the other'. We're evidently becoming rather comfortable with the avoidance of encounters with strangers. That's dangerous."

With a.o. Jeroen Kooijmans & Joost Conijn

THINGS TO CONSIDER
@ Tilde, Amsterdam

Imagination and art can touch the viewer without the need to use expensive machinery or supplies, and that it depends on the artist’s honesty when using those materials and the viewer’s visualisation that, for example, two yogurt pots and a long piece of string can become a telephone.

With a.o. Silvana McNulty
