Exhibition — Drawing, Interdisciplinary, Painting, Photography

Bloom – Sophie Steengracht, Jonat Deelstra and Matt de Groot

Jonat Deelstra (1991) drew inspiration for his new series of paintings from "animal" urges. His new paintings series is teeming with naked human figures who, on the one hand, preach about improving the world and, on the other, are fighting or tearing down their surroundings.

Exhibition

9 Sep up to 6 Nov — Hama Gallery

Exhibition — Sculpture

Kristina Sedlerova Villanen – Janne Schimmel – Charlott Markus

The work of Kristina Sedlerova Villanen (Finland, 1987) can be described as emotionally loaded transitions in perishable matter. She is interested in the inconsistency of human nature, the attraction of humankind towards building unequal systems, creating concepts and the need to believe in them. Working with geological sediments, poorly made degradable materials, immaterial sources and language deposits, she alters these raw materials and the information history they are loaded with, unfolding the structures behind hierarchies and ownership history of natural resources.With a series of sculptural gestures, MAIN COURSE is examining its own name and internal and external relationships, mingling with the space of P/////AKT.

11 Sep up to 16 Oct — P/////AKT

Exhibition — Photography

Public Interventions – Spencer Tunick

Artist-photographer Spencer Tunick’s work defies genres. Tunick transforms public spaces with temporary monuments of people rewriting the locations through their complex, organic compositions; they are figurative yet abstract, inherently public, and deeply intimate: they depict sincere unity and wild differences. The photographs are simultaneously painterly, sculptural, and installations. In this show, the selection of pieces reflects on the artist’s work with abstraction, adornment, traditional group portraiture and the “body without clothing.” Reflex is proud to present Tunick’s first solo exhibition in the Netherlands and the first with the gallery. The show includes new and unseen works.

17 Sep up to 1 Nov — Reflex Amsterdam

Exhibition — Mixed Media
