This bipartite work, which Holzfeind completed in Mexico City in 2005, is currently on exhibit at De Kabinetten van De Vleeshal.

This summer, De Vleeshal will be presenting an exhibition of new works by Rob Johannesma (1970, the Netherlands): Uitval uit een.
The exhibition encompasses two large-scale photographic works and a video installation. Uitval uit een centres around manipulated images, entering into relationships with each other and with the public.

The title page of Jean Genet’s book L’ennemi déclaré bears visible traces of graphite. This was the surface on which Dove Allouche pointed the tip of his brush while working on the drawings on exhibit at De Kabinetten van De Vleeshal this summer.

While De Vleeshal features Katinka Bock’s exploration of its particular landscape, De Kabinetten van De Vleeshal presents Dutch painter Dave Meijer’s (Souburg, 1955) pictorial idiom for the latter environment.

Bock reconceptualizes the environment of De Vleeshal through installation works and sculptures that create a relationship between the space’s interior and exterior landscapes. As so often in her work, this joining of inside and outside explicitly includes the weather. Rain, wind and sun are allowed a direct influence on De Vleeshal’s interior. Consequently, the art works exhibited here will be shaped by time, changing over the duration of the exhibition.

13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
which go thereat
14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be
that find it.

Especially for De Vleeshal Felix Schramm has built an immense installation which almost appears to have been ripped off another building and then implanted in the existing architecture – as if it were a prosthesis.

Martine Stig’s portraits are always made in series, thus shifting attention away from the individual towards the tension between individuality and group identity. The juxtaposition of multiple images brings to light relationships between the individuals’ poses and behaviour, their resistance and vulnerability and their environments. Each series encourages us think about different aspects of the function of photography in people’s lives.

SUPERFLEX is an artists’ collective from Copenhagen, comprising Bjørnstjerne Reuter Christiansen (1969), Jakob Fenger (1968) and Rasmus Nielsen (1969). Their work is characterised by strong social commitment, political awareness, irony and a healthy dollop of humour. Much of their work provides a razor-sharp commentary of contemporary society.
The exhibition is a co-production by the Zeeuws Museum and De Vleeshal and has been curated by Christie Arends (head of exhibitions and collections at the Zeeuws Museum).
