Press release: exhibition "one; & the other painting"
(question & comment: hihitim(a)gmail.com; NO SPAM!) Project W139/basement at the Post CS building Amsterdam In cooperation with Marc Schoneveld and Tony Hofman W139 stages an experimental project named W139/BASEMENT at its former exhibition space, the Post CS building in Amsterdam [map], from March 2007 until June 2007. Sandberg Institute project W139/basement As a component of the project W139/BASEMENT, an exhibition is held by the Sandberg Institute Amsterdam with a space of width10m x length30m x height4m [click here for map] during 7 April 2007 - 29 April 2007. The opening takes place at 20:00pm on 7 April 2007. Chinese artist Tim Chen Chuanxi [CV], current fine arts teacher at Sandberg Institute, curates this project. General idea of the exhibition Basically, this exhibition is expected to be a painting/drawing show. Nevertheless a more outward orientation is strongly encouraged. What is painting? What is drawing? Before the time of paper and canvas did people paint or make drawing? And today in the time of new media, in which way and with what material how do we represent painting or drawing with a new meaning and form? How far can we push the border off the defined? Don't we have any new developing concept for painting and drawing? Or even just an urbane piece of old fashioned with contemporary input? However, in any way, in any shape or form, an excellent art exposition is ultimately expected. Therefore a free contention is more than welcome and art work of an enterprising practitioner is more wanted. Shortly, the general idea can be described as: "one, & the other painting". Proposal collecting According to the above general concept, a dozen of painters and drawing makers have been invited to take part in the project. And a more open invitation for proposals has been also distributed to more artists who would be probably interested and inspired. We have received so many proposals but only superior proposals are accepted. Because of the idiographic purpose of the exhibition, we have paid special attention on those artists who making painting/drawing in a more unique way. How well done a work is has become the secondary question. However we have tried to keep a good balance between quality and diversity. Finally 44 artists are selected. They are: Ad de Jong, Adonis Migkos, Andreas Templin, Anky van der Heijden, Berndnaut Smilde, Chen Wei, Chiaki Kamikawa, Eric Von Robertson & Yngve Holen, Hamid el Kanbouhi, Irina Birger, Jana van Meerveld, John Arnhem, Joost Bakker, Joost Halbertsma, Judith Leysner, Katharina Galland, Katrijn Schatteman, Klaar Valkhoff, Lotte Geeven, Maaike v/d Linden, Mannie Krak, Maria Zervou, Marinke Marcelis, Maurice van Daalen, Mees de Jong, Nadine Hottenrott, Richtje Reinsma, Rogier Roeters, Rossano | Leyendekker, Sandra Kunz, Sang Woo Kang, Sibylle Eimermacher, Simone Hooymans, Stevens Vaughn, Su Tomesen, Wouter Klein Velderman, Wypke Jannette Walen, Weina, Yang Zhifei, Yasser Ballemans, Anna Volkova and Min Lan. They are from different countries of different continents. This makes the exhibition really international. Artists and their works Ad de Jong is a sculptor. His work can be also considered as 3D drawing. With epoxy resin/fiberglass/pigments he “start a new art world”. Fortunately Andreas Templin has been born in an open-minded time, otherwise he could be hanged on the cross of torture, though his paintings still have a classic form. With a video painting, Anky van der Heijden tells you a story of a painter who lives in a painting. Chiaki Kamikava makes drawing simply with pencil and paper but her works are more like time-based opera. Irina Birger has invented her own way of projecting by combining her classic made dawing with new media. Jana van Meerveld's painting looks pretty strange. John Arnhem, this tall boy almost never stops his mouth but he shuts up in his painting. Do you believe Joost Bakker can really move your eyeballs? Joost Halbertsma tried to find a good way to protect his “old” T-shirt at the exhibition space. Judith Leysner is mostly a super fan of Japanese culture. She presents the harvest of her studies on the 48 positions of love. Katharina Galland works in a 3D space with different materials but her work is 120% 2D drawing. Klaar Valkhoff walks along the border between the reality and her drawings. Lotte Geeven's China thoughts is fragile so she wants to visit China again - maybe again and again... Manni Krak wants to make a robot. Maria Zervou makes her drawings with “blank”. The girl Marinke Marcelis, who is doodling almost every day on her notebook, wants doodle once on a whole wall. Maurice van Daalen shows you how patient he can be with his pencil and paper on his fantasy. By seeing her drawing installation, you can imagine that Mees de Jong must be wielding her arms when she is speaking. Richtje Reinsma is wondering if you would dare to lick her drawing for almost all senses. Rogier Roeters works sometimes with his heart and sometimes with his brain. I expect he would work with his balls. Maybe it is better not to say anything when you look to Rossano & Leyendekker's photographic paintings and maybe you need to have a magnifier for Sang Woo Kang's tiny little world on paper. His mind can be so free when he is concentrating on his table. Sandra Kunz started her works with her body sculptures and developed with photographic results and finally had them translated into realistic oil paintings in a Chinese painting factory - "made in China"! Where do you really want to go, Sibylle Eimermacher? For Simone Hooymans, the world in itself seems cool, calm, weightless, emotionless… Stevens Vaughn considers himself as an animal but I know he has also an elegant sense. And he always trys to feed you up with plenty of food and beer. Su Tomesen saw the light(s) when rethinking drawing. Wouter Klein Velderman wrote in his proposal, “Tim, I think my work 'Ramkraak' fits perfectly in your exhibition. I hope this proposal is surprisingly for you!” Well well… I could be gladder if the visitors of the exhibition would be surprised. Weina painted a silent moment with her camera while another Chinese girl Yang Zhifei is still having a daydream in Amsterdam about her wonderful rainbow. Let's see how Yasser Ballemans translates a doodle into 3D form. Anna Volkova "designed" her paintings with polyurethane - look carefully!... TOM (The One-Minute) presents ten pieces of One Minute "video paintings". They were made by: Mizin, Anja Masling, Freek WILLEMS, Thomas MOHR, Aimilia Mouzaki, Jason Dee, Elad Larom, Arno Coenen, Anssi Pulkkinen, Thierry Mandon. (26-March-2007) Auctions in the Post CS building Amsterdam The project W139/BASEMENT aims to pave the way for artists and art collectors towards the art market and focus on works of art with a market value of up to �1.000,- According to this, the project W139/BASEMENT will include art auctions which take place on the last Sunday of every month (March, April, May and June). Part of the collection will be sold by auctions. Consequently, the exhibition “one; & the other painting” also put a number of artwork for the auction at its finish, 29 April 2007. The artist/curator determines the starting bid with a minimum of �5,- and a maximum of �850,-. An artist who exhibits at ”one; & the other painting” follows his/her own will to put one or several pieces of artwork for auction – no matter the work(s) is exhibited or not. For each art work sold, W139/BASEMENT charges a commission of 10%, leaving further transaction details to the buyer and seller. Artists keep the ownership of their unsold work. Supported & sponsored: Sandberg Instituut The Sandberg Institute finances the organizing and general construction, and the making of the invitation for the opening. And the Sandberg Institute provides universal equipment. Atrists take care of the making and the installing of their own works.

“one; & the other painting （绘画；和另一种绘画）” 荷兰皇家艺术研究生院W139展览项目 阿姆斯特丹是欧洲的门户，也是重要的艺术文化中心。W139是荷兰重要的艺术机构。此次在Marc Schoneveld和Tony Hofman的筹备下，W139着手一个名为“W139/BASEMENT”的实验性艺术项目。自2007年3月起到6月，该项目连续在阿姆斯特丹的Post CS building举办展览。 荷兰皇家艺术研究生院正式参与W139/BASEMENT项目，在2007年4月7日至2007年4月29日举办一个大型国际展览。展厅宽10m x 长30m x 高4m [ 参看下方示意图 ] 。展览于2007年4月7日晚20：00 在阿姆斯特丹的Post CS building开幕。中国艺术家、荷兰皇家艺术研究生院专任导师 陈传熙（Tim Chen Chuanxi）组织策划此次展览。 总体思路 原则上，此次展览为一个绘画展览。但是我们来自中国的策展人有他自己的方式和思路。什么是绘画？什么是素描？在以前没有纸和画布的时代，人们怎么绘画？在今天的新媒体时代，我们又可以应用什么样的材料、利用什么样的方式来解析、诠释“绘画”这个概念并赋予其全新的内涵和形式？在对绘画的传统定义和边界进行推进和突破上，我们可以走得多远？或者是全新的观念，或者哪怕就仅仅是在优雅的陈旧形式中注入只属于我们这个时代人的东西？因此这个展览的主题更倾向于一种开放的“绘画”思维。且不论如何、不管用什么形式——绘画也好，另一种绘画也好，首先一个出色的展览是我们所最终期待的。所以我们欢迎多样的见解和自由的争论、我们需要真正具有开拓探索性质的作品。 简而言之，这个总体思路就是用这么一句话来描述：“one, & the other painting（绘画；和另一种绘画） ”。 作品参展方案征集 依据上述总体思路，已有二十几个来自世界各地的艺术家被邀请参加这个展览。同时，一份公开的作品征集邀请函也寄发给更多可能有兴趣有激情于这个项目的艺术工作者。 我们收到了许多参展申请方案，但最终只有最出众的方案被接受。由于展览的主题，我们更多的注意力放在那些显得“特别”的作品。至于作品的制作水平相比较而言反而是第二位的——当然，这不意味着我们不关心质量，事实上我们努力在多样性和质量之间找寻一个较佳的平衡点。 最终44位艺术家入选：Ad de Jong、Adonis Migkos、Andreas Templin、Anky van der Heijden、Berndnaut Smilde、陈伟、Chiaki Kamikawa、Eric Von Robertson和Yngve Holen、Hamid el Kanbouhi、Irina Birger、Jana van Meerveld、John Arnhem、Joost Bakker、Joost Halbertsma、Judith Leysner、Katharina Galland、Katrijn Schatteman、Klaar Valkhoff、Lotte Geeven、Maaike v/d Linden、Mannie Krak、Maria Zervou、Marinke Marcelis、Maurice van Daalen、Mees de Jong、Nadine Hottenrott、Richtje Reinsma、Rogier Roeters、Rossano和Leyendekker、Sandra Kunz、Sang Woo Kang、Sibylle Eimermacher、Simone Hooymans、Stevens Vaughn、Su Tomesen、Wouter Klein Velderman、Wypke Jannette Walen、维娜、杨志飞、Yasser Ballemans, Anna Volkova以及闵岚。他们来自各大洲的不同国家，这使得展览具有了广泛的国际性。 艺术拍卖会 此次W139/BASEMENT项目的目的之一就是铺设艺术家和艺术市场、艺术收藏界的桥梁，同时其主要目标是市场价值在1000欧元上下的艺术作品。 因此，此次W139/BASEMENT项目期间，每个月的展览都以拍卖会作为结束，部分展览作品被拍卖。 自然，我们的“绘画；和另一种绘画”展览在2007年4月29日结束时也相应地以拍卖会作尾声。参展的艺术家本人或者策展人将决定一件作品的起拍价格（最低5欧元，最高850欧元）。参加“绘画；和另一种绘画”展览的艺术家，可以自行决定是否参加拍卖、拍卖多少件作品。参展艺术家送拍的作品可以是其本人任何作品——也就是说：不一定是出现在 “绘画；和另一种绘画”展览的作品。另一方面，虽然参展艺术家可以不参加拍卖，但这不是我们所提倡的。因为不参加拍卖的做法有悖于此次W139/BASEMENT项目的宗旨。 对于成功拍卖的艺术作品，W139/BASEMENT仅仅收取10％的组织费用，并且不涉及买家和卖家未来的后续交易。流拍的作品以及其所有权仍然归艺术家本人所有。 经费/媒体/展览邀请函 皇家艺术研究生院承担此次展览的组织策划、总体设计构建、邀请函印刷及寄发等所有费用。皇家艺术研究生院不向参展艺术家收取任何费用，对艺术家的拍卖作品所得的收益也不会抽取分成。但参展艺术家需要自行承担其作品创作及布展费用。寄送作品的艺术家，我们负责为其布展，但不负担其作品寄送费用。（但根据具体情况，我们找到一些方式协助艺术家寄送作品，比如请往返于中国和阿姆斯特丹的朋友携带） 参展艺术家很可能接到媒体、报纸、艺术杂志的采访要求。有关此次展览的新闻报导、艺术家访谈等等，在展览开幕日期同时出现。 策展人: 陈传熙（点击查看简历）
