⏩ Nu te zien — In Annet Gelink Gallery is tot en met 22 oktober de solotentoonstelling 'Theater van de Werkelijkheid’ van Ed van der Elsken te zien. Voor het eerst wordt het werk van de Nederlandse fotograaf getoond aan de hand van een thema in zijn werk: de verwevenheid van de realiteit met een nagebootste werkelijkheid. Die verwevenheid leverde volgens Van der Elsken subjectieve fotografie op, ergens tussen documentaire en fictie. Lees meer in het online GalleryViewer magazine:

2003 hat Friedrich Kunath eine Ausstellung bei der Annet Gelink Gallery in Amsterdam „We are not as far west as we suppose we are“ betitelt. Schon damals muss die Idee in seinen Kopf herum gespuckt haben, Köln gen United States of America zu verlassen. Nur ein Jahr später war er dann auch schon am westlichen Ende der Welt angekommen und stellte erstmals bei Blum & Poe in Los Angeles aus, auch diesmal mit einer negativen Drehung im Titel: „We were the one thing in the galaxy God didn’t have his eyes on“.
Los Angeles ist sein Sehnsuchtsort – der Titel einer weiteren Ausstellung bei Blum & Poe bringt das sehr schön auf den Punkt: „I have always been here before“ –, genährt durch seine frühe Faszination für das Skateboarden und die Musik aus dem Laurel Canyon und natürlich auch die lang gedehnten Sonnenuntergänge Kaliforniens, die sich so nachhaltig vibrierend in seine Bilder eingeschrieben haben.
Das folgende Gespräch hat im Dezember 2021 statt gefunden. Kurz nachdem neue Bilder von Kunath sein Atelier nach Jena (für die Ausstellung „I’ll Try To Be More Romantic“ in der Kunstsammlung Jena) sowie nach Seoul (für eine Ausstellung in der dortigen Dependance seiner Berliner Galerie Johann König / Johann König) verlassen haben.
Neben der Kunst geht es in unserem Gespräch mindestens genauso viel um Musik, die gefühlt noch größere Leidenschaft im Leben von Friedrich, die sich schon immer auch in seinen Bildern eingeschrieben hat über die von ihm dort platzierten Silver-Jews- und Oasis-Textzeilen. Mit David Berman von Silver Jews kollaborierte Kunath in den letzten Jahren vor dessen viel zu frühen Tod intensiv – posthum erschien das gemeinsame Buch „Soccer Club Club – Friedrich Kunath „Songs Build Little Rooms in Time“ bei Drag City; und just zur Veröffentlichung unseres Gespräch erscheint „Everything’s Electric“, die neue Single von Liam Gallagherr, zu der Friedrich Kunath überraschenderweise den Text beigesteuert hat.
Wie es dazu kam, soll er aber lieber selbst erzählen.
Diese Folge von „Talking Kaput“ wird präsentiert vom HAU Hebbel am Ufer, kaputs Lieblingstheater in Berlin und darüber hinaus, the place to be für Theater, Tanz, Performance, Diskurs, Musik und bildende Kunst.
Tonight at 19:30 hours Annet Gelink Gallery is hosting the launch of alum and advisor Maria Barnas' new collection of poems 'Diamant zonder r', published by Uitgeverij Van Oorschot.
The question ''which language am I at home in?'' lies at the heart of 'Diamant zonder r'. Is it in the one you speak best, or the one you would like to learn? Can you be at home between languages? Maria Barnas started learning Polish in order to be able to approach her Polish grandmother more directly - beyond death. In 'Diamant zonder r', a connection with the past emerges along the line of mothers and the mothers of mothers are given a voice.
The evening will start with a dialogue between Barnas and Rosemarie Buikema, literary and cultural scientist and professor of Art, Culture and Diversity, followed by readings from the new book by guest performers Alara Adilow, Anne Vegter and Dorothé Orczyk. The presentation will be partly in Dutch and partly in English.

On show soon during Art Rotterdam — Minne Kersten works at the intersection of art and literature and is fascinated by the relationship between image and the written word. She completed a bachelor's degree in Image & Language at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and a residency at the prestigious De Ateliers institute in Amsterdam. She also studied art history for a year and participated in the Slow Writing Lab, a postgraduate course of the Dutch Foundation for Literature, which focuses on creative writing. The artist's literary background is expressed in large-scale installations, videos, sculptures and drawings, which are part of a fictional experiential world. In addition to her visual art practice, Kersten also writes poems and essays. The artist's works and visual language arise from a deep-seated desire to tell stories and, in a sense, function as a support for those stories. Sometimes the sculptural sets tell their own story. Chaos, decay and deconstruction are emphasized by the frequent use of natural materials and building materials. The animal or human figures in her narratives often relate to each other in unexpected ways and sometimes there are absurdist or eerie elements. Reality and imagination seem to flow seamlessly into one another in Kersten's works.
During Art Rotterdam (19 t/m 22 May), the work of Kersten can be seen in the booth of Annet Gelink Gallery as part of the video section Projections and in the Prospects section of the , that highlights work by artists who recently received a contribution for the start of their professional practice.

Robby Müller — Master cinematographer Robby Müller had never originally planned for the world to see his polaroids: he often shot them quickly, to capture those lost moments in between. But as it happens, British artist and director Steve McQueen had remained friends with Müller and wife, after working together on one of McQueen’s projects. They both lived in Amsterdam and when McQueen saw the collection of over 2000 polaroids, he immediately said "Oh, these are so beautiful, you really have to do something with them." Robby Müller was an incredible cinematographer who made over seventy films with the greats of cinema: from Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch to Lars von Trier and Steve McQueen. He captured famous films like Paris, Texas, Down By Law, Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark. His film work was characterized by a suggestive combination of low light and a certain calm. He was open to chance, to capture the right, magic moment. When Müller's health started deteriorating - he suffered from vascular dementia - his partner Andrea Müller-Schirmer, art historian and photo editor for an art magazine, decided to organise his extensive archive. Müller never left the house without a camera and actually preferred polaroid cameras because of their instant results. He took polaroid photos on a regular basis, on his days off and in between takes. Partly for pleasure, but also as a way to experiment with (and study) light, colour, shadow and composition. During Unseen, his work was shown in the booth of Annet Gelink Gallery. Explore more work from the booth on GalleryViewer:

'Honest and unapologetic, Moonshine offers a refreshing account of a culture that is too frequently obscured and misunderstood.' Read more about Bertien van Manen's first solo show at Annet Gelink Gallery. Link in comments!
NEW: PAST/PRESENT — For the first time in its existence, Unseen will allow vintage work from before the year 2000 onto the fair. A small selection of highly curated presentations is designed to show a clear and direct, themed dialogue between historic or vintage photographs and the work of contemporary artists. Annet Gelink Gallery, for instance, will show photograph by Bertien van Manen, Robby Müller and Yael Bartana, and Galerie Julian Sander from Cologne will present work by August Sander and Michael Somoroff [both seen here].
