Free Art 2014
The Amsterdam Art Weekend is an annual event focusing on contemporary visual arts. A variety of locations throughout the city is offering a broad program of exhibitions, presentations and performances. Together with Marian van Zijll-Langhout, founder and gallerist of VZL Contemporary Art, we like to invite you to our contribution to the event, consisting of two exhibitions and the presentation “About Free Art and making money”.
01. “Free Art 2014″
location VZL Contemporary Parking | Keizersgracht 481, Amsterdam
date 28.11.2014 – 07.12.2014 >> opening with Artist talk 28.11.2014 / 20-22u
“Free Art 2014″ is an exhibition of objects, collages and works on paper created in and between Amsterdam and Vienna, where I both work and live. The images arise from collecting, processing and reassembling ordinary products and trivial materials. All works will be made available as Free Art on this website on November 28.
02. ”And about making money”
location VZL Contemporary Art | Brouwersgracht 161, Amsterdam.
date 27.11.2014 – 07.12.2014
Alongside Free Art, I have developed “And about making money”. A project that looks at the structure of commissioning art and working to a brief. This body of work is produced as a response to a specific question or demand from various commissioners. The exhibition focuses on recent productions and details of the dialogue between the artist and his clients.
03. ”About Free Art and Making Money”
location VZL Contemporary Parking | Keizersgracht 481, Amsterdam
date 28.11.2014 >> 20-22u
“About Free Art and making money” is an event that aims to bridge the two exhibitions. A number of special guests and participants in the projects have been invited to highlight the motives and consequences of the Free Art project. The event will be followed with drinks.
