titel / How to do the Flowers, Act 2 / Rehearsal 1 datum / 30 Dec 2018 Opening March 27, 2019 Exhibition March 28 - April 27, 2019 The Ravestijn Gallery Amsterdam, in cooperation with Claudio Composti and Ncontemporary, are proud to present How to do the Flowers, Act 2 / Rehearsal 1, a solo show by Dutch artist Ruth van Beek at Ncontemporary Project Room in Milan. In a series of exhibitions Ruth investigates the role of her latest artist book How to do the Flowers as a manual, connector and generator for new work. Hereby bringing the viewer closer to the origins of her work. The same risks will be taken as in the artist’s studio. Circumstances are created in which playing, searching, intuition and humour can play the leading role. The startingpoint for this second exhibition in the series, will be the large format collage Rehearsal 1 and the book How to do the Flowers. What happens when these two works are brought together in one room? Can the book function as a script for the figures in the collages, transforming them into actors? What arrangements can be made? What new scenes will appear? In the presentation the walls will become the stage and a group of works from different times will be brought together.

DAVID DE BEYTER JULIANA BORINSKI MARIE CLEREL MARIANNE CSAKY ERIK DIETMAN BRUNO FONTANA EMMANUELLE FRUCTUS VITTORIA GERARDI ALICE GUITTARD LOUIS-CYPRIEN RIALS MAYA ROCHAT DANIEL SHEA THOMAS SAUVIN&KENSUKE KOIKE RUTH VAN BEEK 40 Rue de Richelieu, 75001 Paris Reservations via the website: http://approche.paris/ For the exhibition How to do the flowers, Act 1, Ruth uses her latest book as a counselor. In this extensive manual book you can see hands showing us how to do things. By focussing on the action and letting go of the original context, Van Beek stimulates the imagination and with that the inconvenience of the viewer. Passive human hands are animated and become activators of the silent objects. Their touching, pinching and caring they help the viewer in their understanding of the material. Objects become characters and abstract forms come to life. Hundreds of images and try-outs for collages come together on the pages in unexpected combinations. They provide the viewer with context for the collages, reveal the underlying work process and at the same time compose a personal guide for making new work. The title “How to do the flowers” refers to the origin of large parts of the archive. Books about housekeeping, books that explain to us how to live, how to do the garden, arrange flowers, or hang the curtains. It is a question and at the same time a constraint. This way and no other way should it be done. A compelling guideline, doomed to be violated and therefore produce failures. In this presentation the walls will be the stage and different images will be brought together. The same risks will be taken as in the artist’s studio. Circumstances are created in which playing, searching, intuition and humor can play the leading role. Levitators come together with dramatic flower arrangements and houseplants covered with snow. Pink figures dance with flowers and black and white ladies hang from the ceiling like green beans.

titel / how to do the flowers datum / 10 Sep 2018 NEW BOOK! How To Do The Flowers 15,5 × 21 cm, 508 p, ills colour / b&w, paperback ISBN 9789490800871 design: 6′56″ co-published with Dashwood Books (NY) edition of 1500  September 2018 The repetition of images, visual sequences, accidental similarities and free associations form the alphabet of a mysterious language. Starting from her archive, Ruth van Beek makes collages and books. The images from this archive are constantly conversing with one another. A large part of the image archive finds its origin in old manuals. Books that are made as a tool, as an advisor for everyday occupations. The images mainly show hands that demonstrate how something is supposed to be done. Hands that dig in the earth, that make dolls, that arrange flowers, that cook. All sorts of daily actions pass by. By focusing on the action and detaching from the original context, van Beek encourages imagination, thereby provoking un-comfortable and uneasy feelings: passive human hands become animated, objects become characters and abstract shapes come to life. Hundreds of images and tests from van Beeks image archive come together. They show a method and create, in turn, a manual for creating new work.

titel / SHANZINI : SHANNON MICHAEL CANE AND PRINTED MATTER datum / 20 Jul 2018 Printed Matter presents a survey of artist editions and publications produced by Shannon Michael Cane (1974-2017). Joining Printed Matter’s staff in 2007 and starting as Fairs & Editions Curator in 2013, Shannon was the driving force behind a huge number of projects with the organization, including the realization of more than 60 editioned artworks and publications from high-profile and emerging artists alike. With a keen eye for detail, extensive production knowhow and a penchant for bold colors, Shannon worked closely with artists to conceptualize and produce new works in multiple format. Through an often collaborative process, he encouraged artists to push the boundaries of their practice and embrace new materials, experiment with multiple processes, produce work in variable format, and to collaborate with other artists. The outcome is a significant body of works which spans all types of media; silkscreens, giclée prints, c-prints, repurposed readymades, and other sculptural objects. Shanzini: Shannon Michael Cane and Printed Matter is on view July 12 - September 2. Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, July 20, 6-9PM. 25% of Edition sales through September 2nd will be contributed to the Shannon Michael Cane Fund, supporting future projects carried out in Shannon's name.

titel / PHotoESPAÑA datum / 06 Jun 2018 Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop. Drawing from a phrase in Alice in Wonderland, this exhibition explores players and playfulness in contemporary photography. The curator Hester Keijser has chosen twelve artists because of the elaborated playfulness in their work or their willingness to accept challenges that expand their creative capacity. Two teams (one Swiss and the other Dutch) have been formed with six players on each. The exhibition features a selection of videos by Roman Signer that mark the midpoint of the playing field. The visitors will be able to place an un-vote for the un-winning team, but without knowing for which team they are casting their un-vote. The exhibition will present a selection of videos, installation works, a conceptual piece, a site-specific assemblage, a spoken word performance, stop-motion videos, anamorphic prints and photo-based embroideries, as well as experimental Polaroid prints based children´s colouring tools. Thank you! You’ve reached the end. Now stop. List of participants: Anne Geene, Isabelle Wenzel, Jan van der Til, Lana Mesic, Ruth van Beek, Uta Eisenreich, Augustin Rebetez, Ester Vonplon, Magdalena Baranya, Rachele Maistrello, Stéphane Winter, Roman Signer, Shirana Shahbazi feat.

titel / concealer datum / 18 May 2018 Copeland Gallery Peckham, London, UK Groupshow: May 18 - 20, 2018 Concealer, curated by Toim Lovelace, presents the work of five contemporary artists working with photography, photo collage and video. Significantly the artists in Concealer seemingly turn their backs on conventional photographic representation and instead choose to explore, create and build new abstract languages and visual systems. The artworks on display either bear little resemblance to our recognisable visual world or actively attempt to obfuscate through different strategies of abstraction. In a time when the potency of the photographic image as a fast, digital carrier of information continues to rise and proliferate, the artworks that form Concealer, drawn from Mexico, America, the Netherlands and the UK, intentionally conceal rather than reveal. Participating artists: Hannah Hughes, Anouk Kruithof, Ben McDonnell, Penelope Umbrico and Ruth van Beek.		Untitled (New Arrangements), 2014 Untitled ( figure 8) 2017

titel / the play datum / 21 Apr 2018 Capture Photography Festival, Sapperton Park, Westminster, Canada April 1, 2018 - March 31, 2019 For this site-specific installation at Sapperton Park, van Beek pulls from photographs found in instructional manuals for children’s toys. Here, a set of child’s hands are surrogates for the artist’s own hands, shown animating a collection of abstract painted shapes. Like the hands of a giant, these fingers initiate a playful exchange between the physical and temporal space of the rudimentary toy construction sets in the original photographs and the colourful, faceless characters who now fill the frame of the work. The Play is curated by Jeff Khonsary for New Documents, which published Ruth' book The Cast in 2017.

titel / unseen Amsterdam datum / 21 Sep 2017 UNSEEN AMSTERDAM 2017 AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS Fri 22 Sep 2017 - Sun 24 Sep 2017 The Ravestijn Gallery presents new works from two of its artists at UNSEEN Amsterdam: Ruth van Beek and Nico Krijno. Both artists’ preoccupations lie with the possibility of making a truly new image. They question the connotations of surface and meaning by engaging their images in unexpected conversations, both poetic and full of humour. Whereas Van Beek assembles her images from her archive and new images appear within the arranged encounter of archival footage, Krijno manipulates his images digitally and leaves room for the messy, as to purposefully leave room for the accident from which new images come forth. By presenting these artists’ works side by side at Unseen Amsterdam 2017, The Ravestijn Gallery provides an aesthetically appealing insight into the status of image making and the ever vigorous inventiveness of photography.

titel / white dog blue ribbon datum / 23 Jun 2017 Solo show Ame-Nu \| Art Space Schaarsteinwegsbrücke 2, 20459 Hamburg, Germany 23.06.2017 - 9.07.2017 Vernisage Friday 23th June at 19.00 The exhibition “white dog, blue ribbon” by the Dutch artist Ruth van Beek consists of a variety of poses, a meeting place for figures facing one another, a salon which one enters and where, visibly, a conversation is taking place. Ruth van Beek shows individuals and the relationship among them. Midway between genre painting, group portrait and installation, this informal circle is an invitation to share discreetly in what we recognize as an interview, discussion, negotiation or sacra conversazione to which they are listening so attentively. A composition in which all the fragments (whether abstract or figurative) of collected images (collages, paintings, drawings, photographs, furnishings, etc) influence the space they occupy. In the basement gallery, Ruth van Beek turns the space into a metaphor for the unconscious. A place between life and death, wakefulness and sleep. Around the central figure of the sleeping rock with feet, shaped like a body, statues from ancient history, animals, plants, rocks, dolls and masks appear to be attending a ceremonial gathering. A large-format storytelling map, made from archive images of motionless objects.

titel / cats & dogs datum / 05 Jun 2017 The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel Groupshow: May 2017 - March 2018 Cats & Dogs aims to reflect the encounter between life, art and the two favorite yet somewhat conflicting animal partners of people. The selection of objects will incorporate sculptures of cats from ancient Egypt, together with 1500 year old Mexican ceramic Colima dogs, Classic 19th century portraits next to modern paintings by artists such as Gino Severinni and Kees Van Dongen and many more. The eclectic selection of photography, video, and specially commissioned installations will reflect the binary- but mostly human- distinction between these two animals through a wide range of cultural representations.

titel / SPRING TIDE \| VAN ZOETENDAAL & THE COLLECTION datum / 20 May 2017 Under the influence of the sun, moon and wind, sea levels can sometimes rise much higher than normal. This is referred to as a spring tide. Willem van Zoetendaal sees this natural phenomenon as symbolising his encounter with the millions of negatives, contact sheets and prints in the Collection of the Nederlands Fotomuseum. Anyone embarking on an exploration of this ocean of images will discover unexpected treasures, often throwing new light on the history of photography. Exercising his expert eye for the beauties of photography, guest curator Willem van Zoetendaal will introduce us to over 200 photographs from the Collection in their original form: that is, directly printed from the negatives. Many of the photographs in the exhibition are well-known in cropped versions but are now being shown for the first time in their entirety. Van Zoetendaal demonstrates that a great deal of information about the photographer’s vision and approach can lie in precisely those apparently insignificant and casual details that cropping tends to eliminate. Van Zoetendaal will reveal the continuing relevance of the photographs in the museum collection by complementing them with contemporary photographs. The combination produces unexpected links and parallels between past and present. For example, the fact that photographers - then as now - were attracted by motifs like solitary trees, moonlight or reflections in water. Participating photographers From the Collection: Katharina Eleonore Behrend, Paul Citroen, Cobie Douma, Bernard F. Eilers, Wally Elenbaas, Ed van der Elsken, Kees Hana, Esther Kroon, Cas Oorthuys, Frits J. Rotgans, Paul Schuitema, Paul Steenhuizen, Richard Tepe and Piet Zwart. Contemporary photographers: Céline van Balen, Ruth van Beek, Holger Niehaus, Arjan de Nooy, Diana Scherer, Otto Snoek and Harold Strak. www.nederlandsfotomuseum.nl

titel / The situation room datum / 17 Dec 2016 The Situation Room is the title of my upcoming solo exhibition at The Ravestijn Gallery. The images included in Ruth van Beek’s archive are constantly engaging in conversation. Repetition, rhyme, coincidences and parallels form the alphabet of an obscure language. Van Beek rearranges the pictures to create brand new images, but emphasizes the conversations between them. The same goes for van Beek’s upcoming solo exhibition at The Ravestijn Gallery, in which the grotesque figures that populate “the situation room” converse with one another. They are part of a scene, react to the room as if they were a Greek chorus, or confront the viewer directly. Van Beek subtlety transforms the exhibition space into an exuberant and ominous carnival. Abstract shapes are brought to life and make for a cast of exaggerated characters, turning the entire room into a masquerade. Opening December 17th.

titel / New Book: The Levitators datum / 15 Sep 2016 The Levitators are a species of animals that originated from images of domestic dogs. Seeing these pets, now bred in all possible shapes and forms, it is hard to believe that they descend from wild animals. In the photos they pose patiently for the camera of their owner, looking their best, tails wagging. To bring the dogs back to life, Ruth van Beek cuts and fold the images. Through this process of animation and fixattion many things go awry. In her attempt to make the dogs fly, they gradually loose their original dog-shape, transforming into fluffy objects, unsuccessful animals. Thus through this uncertainty they become moldable and open to new interpretations.

titel / interview american suburb x datum / 16 Sep 2015 Brad Feuerhelm interviewed me, read it at the ASX website: "For me the attraction of photography has always been very attached to it’s physical appearance…the old analogue album photo, a pass photo in a wallet, a damaged picture found on the street. The combination of what is on the image and the shape that it is in provides the image with an important extra layer of drama." www.americansuburbx.com

Images are interfered with, fragmented, punctured, spliced and sewn - undergoing a compositional and physical change. The exhibition looks at their varied and expansive processes, from the ‘in-camera’ light based and systematic interventions of Hannah Whitaker, to the hybrid collage works of Ruth van Beek, and the embroidered and embellished found photography of Julie Cockburn. The artists are linked by their manipulative artistic strategies, their material experimentation, and by the sense of alchemic exploration that occurs in their photographs. 82 Kingsland Road London E2 8DP T: +44 (0)20 7920 7777 F: +44 (0)20 7920 7770 info@flowersgallery.com www.flowersgallery.com		Untitled ( The Arrangement ), 2012 collage, framed 33 x 39 cm

Organised by Suns and Stars and Ton de Boer. "The house, the garden and the former inhabitants are imbued with the Romantic principles. The ideological values of the present owner, Natuurmonumenten, are also derived from Romanticism. The title of the exhibition refers to M.H. Abrams’ book about Romantic Theory and the Critical Tradition. “Until the Romantic era, the mind was like a mirror, reflecting the real world. For the Romantics it was more like a lamp, the light of the artists inner soul poured out to illuminate the world”. Here lies the origin of the conflict caused by Romantic notions of authenticity and artistic genius."

titel / out of shape datum / 28 Jan 2015 The exhibition ‘Out of Shape’ brings together the work of 8 artists who all draw attention to the importance of shape and form. The subject manifests itself in many different ways: There are solid triangles and squares, morphing outlines and silhouettes, peculiar figures and forms. Forms of expectations, or the form that is expected from us . Unruly bended, turned, covered and exposed. In shape or out of shape. During the exhibition ‘Out of Shape’ the publication by the same name will be launched. This publication was realized in the Frans Masereel Centrum in Kasterlee (Belgium). During a 5 week residency Polly’s Picture Show worked towards developing a publication that would combine work by 9 artists in a way that values the particularity and individuality of each work. The publication had to be more than a catalogue for a show, it had to be an art piece in itself, and that’s how it found it’s final form of a show in the shape of a box. Each artist contributed to the project by submitting one image of a work. Polly’s Picture Show then looked for the fitting print technique, color, size and paper to reproduce this work in an edition of 50. Like Duchamp’s Boîte-en-valise all works have their own existence in a box/publication which together forms the concept of a show where the works enter into a dialogue. All the works in the publication are printed and reinterpreted by Polly’s Picture Show in Frans Masereel Centrum. more information: www.pollyspictureshow.com

titel / photo book award datum / 25 Sep 2014 The Arrangement is on the shortlist of the 2014 Aperture photobook award! "Lesley Martin describes The Arrangement as “a simple, clean book—a deceptively restrained, slight package for a disorienting and seductive body of work.” The publication presents a series of the artist’s collages and images created from the pages of vintage botanical textbooks and gardening guides. In PBR 005, artist and reviewer Penelope Umbrico writes that these images “become defiantly unbalanced hybrid objects that undergo extraordinary metamorphosis from one page to the next.” There is a carefully controlled surrealism to the work; each element and image has been selected and placed with the thoughtfulness of an ikebana master. The book itself is suitably minimalist, the perfect, sunshine-yellow vehicle for a bouquet of Ruth van Beek images." www.parisphoto.com www.aperture.org

titel / cohen gallery los angeles datum / 29 May 2014 24/7 (still life) May 29 - July 12, 2014 Opening Reception Thursday May 29th 7-9 pm Our continuous access to images and the reproduction of those images has helped to aid and revise the definition of /and what a still life can be. In the last part of the 20th Century and early 21st Century, the genre has reached beyond the structure of what was once regarded by the art world as the “lowest genre” and moved into an exciting and more thought provoking realm. 24/7 (still life) is a re-imaging of the older structure that dealt heavily with the surface appearance of things. Much of the work in this show is not given over to the former ideal of beauty but instead informed by conceptually driven ideas.

titel / The rehearsal datum / 21 Feb 2014 WARTE FÜR KUNST Kassel, Germany 22.02 bis 21.03.2014 Eröffnung der Ausstellung 21.02.2014 um 19.00 Uhr Ruth van Beek arbeitet in ihrer künstlerischen Praxis mit den Mitteln der Collage. In der Warte für Kunst wird sie ihre neueste Arbeit ‚The Rehersal’ zeigen. Ausgangsmaterial für ihre teilweise grotesken Bild-Neuerschaffungen sind über die Jahre gesammelte Fotografien - gefunden in alten Gebrauchsanleitungen und Handbüchern - die sie aus ihren selbsterklärenden Kontexten herausreißt, um ihnen in ihren Collagen neue Sinnzusammenhänge zuzuweisen. Dabei werden die anleitenden Bilder selbst zur Anleitung ihres eigenen künstlerischen Arbeitsprozesses. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei immer wieder die Hände, die als formgebendes Werkzeug die Bildmaterialien zerteilen, zerschneiden oder zerpflücken um sie dadurch in neue mystische Zusammenhänge zu stellen. Dabei verschwinden nach und nach die eigentlich doch so nüchternen Gesten der Gebrauchsanleitung und machen Platz für ein kurioses Ritual in dem den Objekten auf dem Papier Leben eingehaucht wird und sie Raum schaffen für neue Assoziationen und Geschichten.

titel / The Age of collage - Berlin datum / 14 Nov 2013 The Age of Collage A Group Exhibition of Contemporary Collage Gestalten Space - Berlin 15 \| 11 \| 2013 — 05 \| 01 \| 2014 Opening: Thursday, November 14, 18:00–21:00 With The Age of Collage, Gestalten Space presents its first international group exhibition on contemporary collage since its opening show Cutters Edges in 2011. The featured work of 30 artists reveals the boundless possibilities and diversity of this timeless yet timely artistic technique. Arising out of cubism, the medium of collage has been used and expanded by Dadaists, futurists, surrealists, and pop artists over the last 100 years—and its evolution continues with unabated enthusiasm. The sampling and copying and pasting so prevalent in our digital age have given collage an even greater impetus today. In collage, raw visual material is collected and then combined in such a way as to abstract the individual elements enough that the artist’s own vision becomes prominent. Because its references range from other artistic works and techniques to scientific images, pop culture, and erotica, this material and the resulting compositions reflect humanity’s collective visual memory and context.

They combine colorful stillives of flowerarrangements with the functional photograhphy of a manual.Ruth Van Beek is specialy interested in the translation of the strict rules and symbols of Japanese Ikebana into instructional books for Dutch housewifes. The Arrangement est une série de visuels créés par l’artiste à partir d’images qu’elle a sélectionnées dans des ouvrages qui enseignent l’arrangement floral. L’artiste collectionne ce type de livres depuis plusieurs années et plus particulièrement ceux datant des années 50 à 70 qu’elle apprécie en raison de leur présentation (désuète) sous la forme de manuels et de l’esthétique très particulière des natures mortes de cette époque (très colorées). Elle s’est intéressée plus précisément à la manière dont les symboles et les règles stricts, propres à l’Ikebana (Art Floral traditionnel Japonais) se sont trouvés modifiés et simplifiés pour être adaptés aux manuels destinés aux femmes aux foyer Hollandaises.

Reintegration projects focusing on creativity and sports provide the children with self confidence and a new perspective. Simultaneously we work on sustainable mentality and policy changes, both in the direct environment of the youth and on a political level.

In The Ephemera Show komen hun beider archieven voor het eerst op een bijzondere manier samen. Ruth van Beek richt zich op vormen en texturen in het gevonden materiaal waarbij haar ingrepen in het beeld de oorspronkelijke context losweken van de beeltenis. Koen Hauser gebruikt zijn archief vooral als inspiratiebron om nieuw beeld te maken waarbij werkelijkheid en nagebouwde realiteit door elkaar lopen. In deze tentoonstelling stellen van Beek en Hauser hun autonome werk en hun archieven samen in één grote presentatie waarin de beeldtaal van het fotograferen van kunst- en museumschatten centraal staat.

titel / Foam magazine nr 26 happy datum / 15 Mar 2011 I am happy to anounce the publication of my work "Secrets of the wildlife" in Foam magazine. Next to the portfolio, Marc Valli wrote a text about collage and my work. "...Ruth van Beek's work studies and questions the world of animals and landscapes we would otherwise take for granted.The result reminds us of two-dimensional sculptures with a simple, subtle and abstract visual language. In fact, she doesn't limit herself to creating new meanings out of old images but with every new work she creates a new physical and tactile reality. It is gifted with a confounding directness - a naturalness that is unique among collage artists..." www.foammagazine.nl

titel / taste my photons ... datum / 27 Feb 2011 Taste my photons... 5 maart – 17 april Ruth van Beek, Wim Bosch, Bert Danckaert, Elspeth Diederix, Eric Jan van de Geer, Michael John Whelan, Sabrina Jung, Astrid Korntheuer and Ingo Mittelstaedt Noorderlicht is gekend om haar indringende, maatschappelijk bewogen tentoonstellingen. Met Taste my photons... wordt de aandacht verlegd naar het fotografisch medium zelf. In werk van negen fotografen uit binnen- en buitenland is de realiteit zo ingekaderd dat er een kunstmatige en fragiele constructie overblijft. De ogenschijnlijk formele en abstracte beelden geven zich niet snel bloot, maar juist hun gefingeerde afstandelijkheid verleidt tot scherper kijken en ontdekken. Taste my photons... is een pleidooi voor de diepgang van de trage blik. Het is een tegenwicht voor het alledaagse bombardement van beelden, waarin we slechts oppervlakkig kunnen doordringen. Taste my photons... is samengesteld door gastcurator Wim Bosch in het kader van het Noorderlicht PhotoLab. Opening zaterdag 5 maart om 17.00 uur door Caroline von Courten, managing editor van Foam Magazine en curator. In aanwezigheid van de fotografen.		Ruth van beek, 2010 Silkscreen 50 x 70 cm

titel / newyork photo festival datum / 12 May 2010 From 12-16 may i will participate in the exhibition "USE ME ABUSE ME" curated by Erik Kessels during the NewYork Photofestival. Use Me, Abuse Me begins with Kessels? a posteriori observation that easy access to photography tools and software results in quicker, more facile modes of image production, consumption and disposal. Perhaps a condition of this state, a plethora of photographers and image-makers are experimenting with pre-existing images and using them within their own work on an unprecedented scale. Photographs are variously collected, reinterpreted, cut, copied, pasted and generally abused. Erik Kessels? show is about how images and image-making technology influence artists and photographers. Use Me, Abuse Me explores several questions, including: Where will image-making take us? Will all existing photography be endlessly recycled? Will we soon see more photographers taking fewer photographs? How far can we stretch the medium of photography? Use Me, Abuse Me features work by a new wave of artists and photographers, including Ruth Van Beek, Batia Suter, Paul Kooiker, Lucas Blalock, Linus Bill, Renato Leotta, Gwon Osang, Marcel Gaehler, Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky, Claudia Sola, Asha Schechter, Joachim Schmid, Chantal Rens, Sanja M?dic and Thomas Mailaender. www.nyphotofestival.com

titel / sugary photographs with tricks, poses and effects datum / 19 Mar 2010 19 march - 4 april Hereby I would like to invite you to the Antwerp Photography Festival, Sugary Photographs with Tricks, Poses and Effects. On the occasion of this festival I worked together with writer Basje Boer on the publication "Souvenir". You can find our work at the Antwerp Museum for Photography. Souvenir Memories and photographs are our souvenirs of past events, though they distort, stretch and mold what actually happened. A photograph only tells of a very brief moment, frozen in time. And childhood memories are fragmented and misshapen, more like a dream than an actual event. Our project Souvenir exaggerates the game that photography and memory play with the truth by creating a new reality. Souvenir uses the Antwerp Zoo as a perfect example of a reality within a reality. Ruth van Beek collects and distorts photographs taken at the Zoo. Basje Boers writings depict childhood memories of the Zoo. www.sugaryphotographs.com

Its premise is simple, come hang out, have a beer, bring some materials, or use what's here, sit down and get to work. It intentionally occupies the informal margins of art practice, where the seeds for future projects and collaborations are grown. Joseph Del Pesco, Artists Space NY Context Gallery invites all artists and the public to participate in Derry?s Collage Party; a free space for sharing ideas, for material and social experimentation and for all-inclusive participation in a non-hierarchical atmosphere. During the course of the project there will be various events, screenings and music. Please check out the website for up to date listing of events. Paul and the guest artists will be participating between 24th July and 7th August and the exhibition/project continues to 21st August.

De manifestatie bestaat uit een korte kunstwandeling van ca. 2 km.

Okx, Sander Rood, Johan Rumpt, Roy Villevoye, Tine van Wel, Ruth van Beek, Kaj ter Borgh, Stefan Kasper, Cees Krijnen/V.J.

Wie deze kunstwandeling maakt, ervaart een sprookjesachtig avontuur dat overdag, maar ook ?s avonds en ?s nachts kan worden beleefd. De manifestatie duurt ??n etmaal.
