Through the Grid

Studio Onvervalst asked me to make a screenprint for the exhibition Through the Grid at . Welcome to ACEC Apeldoorn to see the result!

Je bent van harte uitgenodigd voor de groepstentoonstelling Through the Grid. Het grid werd al door oude meesters als hulpmiddel ingezet om ruimtelijke verhoudingen over te kunnen zetten naar het platte vlak. Zo bracht het raster orde en structuur in het ontleden van de werkelijkheid. Het bood houvast om natuurgetrouw objecten, mensfiguren of een landschap te visualiseren zonder het verlies van dieptewerking.

In de groepstentoonstelling Through the Grid onderzoekt Studio Onvervalst door de zeefdruk, ism hedendaagse kunstenaars, de rol van het raster in de abstracte beeldtaal. Niet ingezet als hulpmiddel voor een vertaling van de werkelijkheid, het vormt nu zelf het onderwerp van het artistieke uitgangspunt. Een vooraf bepaalde ordelijke structuur die wordt gevolgd of verstoord. Als een gerasterd systeem met opgelegde beperkingen dat zich uitstrekt tot in het oneindige.

Met werk van

Sigrid Calon, Erris Huigens, Guido Nieuwendijk, Zaida Oenema, Bertjan Pot, Clary Stolte, Graphic Surgery, Boris Tellegen, Vincent Uilenbroek, Marije Vermeulen en Jan Maarten Voskuil.

Opening
zaterdag 8 april 16u

Poetic Systems

Welcome to the opening of the exhibition Poetic Systems on Sunday 27th of November at gallery JoLi (Urmond) by Joery Wilbers, director of museum De Domijnen (Sittard) at 14:00 hrs.

The exhibition Poetic Systems shows artworks by three artists; Zaida Oenema, Fiene Scharp and Gerda Kruimer.
All work within their own system of grids with personal rules, of repetition, rhythm and structure, among others. They cut and/or burn in “fragile” material such as paper. The handwork creates barely visible imperfections and irregularities.
The title Poetic Systems encompasses the formal approach softened by the poetic handwriting.

In the gallery space, the artists have created a subtle gridwork on the floor and walls that perfectly matches their artworks. 

The exhibition runs until Sunday January 22, 2023
Galerie JoLi, Holsberg 81A, 6129 KM, Urmond (NL)
www.galeriejoli.nl
Open every Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 pm

Time is of Essence
April 2 – May 7 2022
Opening: April 2, 2-5 pm
I will be present for the artist reception!

“The title of the exhibition refers to the poem of the same name by Robert Weston. It says a lot about the work and method of Zaida Oenema (NL, 1981). She builds her oeuvre with attention and perfection; whereby liquid time solidifies in her concentrated works.

You see a line, even many lines, or a stripe and several stripes. Then again you see a cut, not shorter or longer than necessary, but exactly as intended. The works consist of innumerable cuts, hatches, stripes, lines or curves; arranged one after the other, singular or multiple and all with extreme precision. Oenema uses minimal techniques such as a soldering iron, scalping knife, pencil and gluing. And different types of paper distinguish the works in complexity, both in appearance and meaning.

The mostly Japanese scooping paper is chosen for its specific properties. So that, for example, after gluing sheets of thin paper, the planned treatment is still possible. These aspects are tangible and visible in Oenema’s work. The result looks minimalistic but stems from maximum performance.”

CODA Paper Art 2021

05 June 2021 – 09 January 2022
Welcome to visit Coda Paper Art 2021!
I will parttake with 48 other artists with 3 works, of which 2 were especially made for this exhibition.

Museum CODA Apeldoorn
More information about opening times and reserving a time-slot:
https://www.coda-apeldoorn.nl/

Every other year CODA Paper Art presents paper art ranging from small works of art, objects and jewellery to life-size installations. While some artists highlight a social or topical theme, others tell a (material) technical story with their work, or highlight the craftsmanship of paper art. The exhibition shows how many different perspectives and dimensions there are in paper art, how boundaries are shifted and how new techniques and digitalisation are used by the makers to realise their work. There is also a renewed appreciation for nature as a source of inspiration and a number of artists react with their work to current events and the large amount of images that we see every day.

The works of art in this exhibition were made by 48 artists from the Netherlands and abroad.

Paper Biennial museum Rijswijk 12 Jun – 07 Oct 2018

Since 1996 Museum Rijswijk has hosted prestigious exhibitions on international paper art. Each show exhibits a surprising collection of artworks because contemporary art is constantly changing.

The biennials are never themed. However, the 18 international artists participating in this edition have something in common, besides the use of paper: they take inspiration from nature. This can be in physical terms, making paper from pure plant fibres – cooked, flattened, dried and, sometimes, mixed with other natural ingredients. Paper pulp might be kneaded or poured into unique shapes, and once dry, cut, folded and twisted. Nature is also a source of inspiration in conceptual terms: odes to what nature generates, spores of change and capturing something transient. Those who love pure abstraction will also find something in this biennial. But don’t be surprised if you encounter a link to the natural environment here, too.

An illustrated catalogue of the Rijswijk Paper Biennial 2018 (Dutch/English) will be available. Author: art historian Frank van der Ploeg.

artists: Claire le Breton (FR), Viviane Colautti Ivanova (FR), Jocelyn Châteauvert (US), Ai Hashimoto (JP/NL), Sytske de Jong (NL), Ute Krautkremer (DE), Linda Leeuwestein (NL), Sonata Lepaitė (LT/NL), Aja von Loeper (DE), Zaida Oenema (NL), Dominique Rousseau (FR), Andy Singleton (GB), Nadja Schöllhammer (DE) Annita Smit (NL), Magda Soboń (PL), Anna J. van Stuijvenberg (NL), Angelique van der Valk (NL), Mathilde van Wijnen (NL)

Open: Tuesday t/m Sunday: 11.00 – 17.00 hrs
location: Herenstraat 67 / 2282 BR Rijswijk

Jaap Scholten & The Mourning Glories

01 dec 2016 | Sunday 11 December from 3 – 5 pm at gallery Untitled

Met hun prachtige stemmen, tokkelbanjo, zingende zagen en speciekuipbas snijden The Mourning Glories recht in je ziel. Verwacht murder ballads, ukulele met slechte whisky en meerstemmige zang met diepe droefenis. Een klaagzang op het leven, guaranteed to swoon. photo by © Jaap van der Blom

Avonturier en schrijver Jaap Scholten zal komen vertellen over o.a. zijn beren- en wolvenverhalen. Met zijn werk ontving hij onder meer de Libris Geschiedenis Prijs en werd hij geselecteerd voor de shortlist van de Bob den Uyl-prijs. Ook schreef hij jarenlang een column in het NRC en presenteerde hij het VPRO-programma Oostwaarts, waarin hij op zoek ging naar de vergeten werelden van het oude Oost-Europa.

Het evenement vindt plaats in de duo-tentoonstelling The Sound of Silence, waarin Zaida Oenema en Lenny Oosterwijk fotografie, knipsels en tekeningen laten zien die geïnspireerd zijn op de natuur.

Koert van Mensvoort & Gery Mendes

Grote Prijs van Nederland-winnaar Gery Mendes en TEDx-talk spreker Koert van Mensvoort

Weer twee mooie namen voor de volgende Gallery Untitled Presents!
Gery Mendes won o.a. de Grote Prijs van Nederland als beste muzikant en is bij het grote publiek bekend van het programma de Beste Singer-Songwriter. Bovendien leerde de rest van Nederland hem afgelopen jaren kennen dankzij zijn rol in het hiphop-orkest van Kyteman. Dr. ir. Koert van Mensvoort is als kunstenaar, technoloog en filosoof het meest bekend vanwege zijn TED-talks en zijn Next Nature filosofie. Zo ontwikkelde hij Het Kweekvlees Kookboek. Dit prijswinnende boek maakt tastbaar welke kweekvlees gerechten mogelijk in de toekomst op ons bord belanden. Voor nu: goed voer voor discussie!

Het evenement vindt plaats in de duo-tentoonstelling The Sound of Silence, waarin Zaida Oenema en Lenny Oosterwijk fotografie, knipsels en tekeningen laten zien die geïnspireerd zijn op de natuur.

Duo-exhibition The Sound of Silence

01 nov 2016 | November – December at gallery Untitled

In duo-tentoonstelling The Sound of Silence laten Zaida Oenema en Lenny Oosterwijk fotografie, knipsels en tekeningen zien die geïnspireerd zijn op de natuur.

De gedetailleerde tekeningen van Zaida Oenema zijn gemaakt in een stressvolle periode. Haar verlangen naar een uitweg naar stilte groeide in hoog tempo. Stilte in letterlijke zin van het ontbreken van menselijk geluid, maar gaandeweg ook een verlangen naar stilte als een equivalent van rust en vreugde. In de knipsels gaat Zaida Oenema een stap verder en probeert ze niet zozeer de plek of het verlangen naar zo’n plek te tekenen, maar zoekt door het minutieus werken met een scalpel als een een vorm van concentratie-oefening de stilte op.

Zilveren Camera-winnaar Lenny Oosterwijk vindt in de natuur zijn inspiratie. Zo maakt hij voor het project Heraclitus al een aantal jaren foto’s van rivieren tot ongrijpbare, bijna abstracte beelden. De rivier als symbool voor oneindige beweging. Of, zoals de filosoof Heraclitus het verwoordde,‘No man steps in the same river twice’. In 2014 maakt hij binnen dezelfde thematiek de film Heraclitus. De film werd geselecteerd en vertoond op het Internationaal Filmfestival Rotterdam.
