Bonnefanten Maastricht

Keetje Mans – Through the Vineland
19 January – 28 April

Through the Vineland is a solo exhibition of paintings by Keetje Mans (Amsterdam, 1979), who lives and works in Maastricht. Her art works have symbolic overtones, and in them she plays with a distinctive mix of folk art and exoticism, combined with elements originating from memories of her childhood on Curaçao. On large canvases, she creates still lifes and narrative scenes, interlaced with fragments of barely legible text, which transport the viewer to mystical, unfathomable places of refuge.

Jens Pfeiffer: All That Glitters…
19 January – 16 February

Not everything that glitters is gold. Not everything we perceive as precious or true fulfills the promise of its appearance. In a series of work-sets, Jens Pfeifer explores the deceiving shine of objects, materials, substances and beliefs.

Ron Mandos

Peter Feiler & Christiaan Zwanikken
19 January – 16 February

Het nieuwe jaar 2013 opent Galerie Ron Mandos met een curieuze tentoonstelling. De expositie toont een interessante wisselwerking tussen de zeer gedetailleerde en onconventionele tekeningen van Peter Feiler en de bewegende, insect-achtige sculpturen van Christiaan Zwanikken. De fantasierijke werelden van Feiler en de verbazingwekkende installaties van Zwanikken samen tonen de kijker een macabere wereld en dit zal een sferische tentoonstelling opleveren.

Gabriel Rolt

Douglas White: ‘Song of the Roustabouts’
19 January – 23 February

Galerie Gabriel Rolt is proud to present its second solo show of the work of London-based contemporary artist and sculptor Douglas White (Guildford, UK, 1977), who works with decaying objects, discarded waste and other cast-aside materials to create poetic, totemic works that pulse with new life.

If I can’t Dance…
Appropriation and Dedication

Gerry Bibby, Gregg Bordowitz, Jacob Korczynski, a work by Louise Lawler, Sven Lütticken, Helen Molesworth, Grant Watson
20 January 2013, from 10am to 7pm
Goethe Institut, Amsterdam

On 20 January 2013, If I Can’t Dance would like to mark its transition from Edition IV – Affect (2010-2012) into Edition V – Appropriation and Dedication (2012-2014) with a full day seminar at the Goethe Institut in Amsterdam. The seminar will explore the relations between affect and appropriation in artistic practice, with contributions that consider how an understanding of reciprocal investment reconfigures the artistic strategy of appropriation as an act that is based in connecting, acknowledging and being porous to material.
