#43 (Where and for Whom?) Listening to the Absences

The fifth group show in Buro Stedelijk's Central Space with Simomo Bouj, Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi [aka crazinisT artisT] and Martin Toloku

(voor Nederlandse tekst scroll verder)

“Space” has meaning beyond the physical. One that is alive, and ever-evolving. An exhibition space, among many things, allows a maker and a work to develop and exist within a particular context. But how can space be understood at a project space–particularly when strategies of being on show are part of its core investigation?   

In the group show Manifestation #43: (Where and for Whom?) Listening to the Absences, three artists grapple with what it means to be visible. They ask what can be learned from reframing our understanding of a “gaze” and explore to whom we are visible and by whom we remain unseen. How do we ensure that the world sees us as we see ourselves? Can we ever control the gaze? Simomo Bouj, Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi [aka crazinisT artisT] and Martin Toloku, each reflect on these questions in their own way. Together, we explore how we, a ‘shared we’, can take care of the work(s) and their maker(s) by establishing, shaping, and designing a space that is able to hold what we need to exist and to be seen. 

Working towards a world where we are intimately responsible for one another, the strategies we choose to do this become an intentional intervention. In a sense, resistance may not always mean avoiding the gaze but reshaping it, turning it into something that empowers rather than diminishes. Examining the paradoxes of opening up and fencing off, of exclusion and enclosure.   

A group show with Simomo Bouj, Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi [aka crazinisT artisT] and Martin Toloku. Accompanied by two Thursday evenings, Manifestation #49: SISTAAZ OF THE CASTLE with a.o. the SistaazHood, designer Duran Lantink and artist Jan Hoek, and Manifestation #56: Repainting Subway Art with a.o. graffiti artist Tripl/Furious.

Ruimte creëren vraagt om vitaliteit en voortdurende ontwikkeling. Een tentoonstellingsruimte stelt, naast vele andere dingen, een maker en een werk in staat om zich te ontplooien en te bestaan binnen een bepaalde context. Maar hoe kan ‘ruimte’ worden opgevat in een projectruimte – vooral als strategieën van tentoonstellen het fundament vormen van wat hier wordt onderzocht?    

In de groepstentoonstelling Manifestation #43: (Where and for Whom?) Listening to the Absences onderzoeken drie kunstenaars wat het betekent om zichtbaar te zijn. Ze vragen wat we kunnen leren door ons begrip van een gaze te herzien, en bevragen voor wie we zichtbaar zijn en voor wie we onzichtbaar blijven. Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat de wereld ons ziet zoals we onszelf zien? Kunnen we de blik van anderen ooit volledig bepalen? Simomo Bouj, Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi [aka crazinisT artisT] en Martin Toloku reflecteren elk op hun eigen manier op deze vragen. Samen onderzoeken we hoe we kunnen zorgen voor objecten en hun maker(s) door een ruimte te creëren, vorm te geven en te ontwerpen die kan dragen wat we nodig hebben om te bestaan en gezien te worden.    

Door naar een wereld toe te werken waarin we intiem verantwoordelijk zijn voor elkaar, worden de strategieën die we kiezen om dit te doen een welbewuste interventie. Verzet betekent niet altijd het vermijden van een blik, maar het opnieuw vormgeven ervan, het veranderen in iets dat kracht geeft in plaats van onderdrukt. De paradoxen van openstelling en afscherming, van uitsluiting en opsluiting onderzoeken.

Een groepstentoonstelling met Simomo Bouj, Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi [aka crazinisT artisT] en Martin Toloku. Aangevuld met twee donderdagavonden, Manifestation #49: SISTAAZ OF THE CASTLE met o.a. de SistaazHood, designer Duran Lantink en kunstenaar Jan Hoek, en Manifestation #56: Repainting Subway Art met o.a. graffitikunstenaar Tripl/Furious.

#26: Script 1: Whispers (Tell The Waters What The Clay Kept Secret II), by Ola Hassanain

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.

#5 Dia di Lucha pa Libertat

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
