Evi Vingerling "distilling a few words" Evi Vingerling makes paintings and wall paintings that refer to the often overlooked visual system of the world around her. By combining her affinity for mathematical forms, the transcendentalism of Emerson and her personal memories (these form the parameters of her work) she creates sharp geometrical arrangements on her canvases. Vingerling takes forms from the world around her which she then separates from their literal meaning. She plays with movement and distills the forms of symbolism, leaving in the end only recurring patterns and directional lines washed with thin layers of colour. In an attempt to get to the bottom of where form and inherent knowledge meet, she creates a tangible space that meets the viewer with a direct sensitive statement of proof of how she thinks the world could be if systems of linear meaning were erraticated. At Ellen de Bruijne Projects, the artist will present new work, consisting of wall paintings as well as wall-covering canvases. All together it creates a complete installation. Evi Vingerling was educated at the Royal Academy for Visual Arts in The Hague (1998-2002) and at the Rijksacademy in Amsterdam (2005-2006). In 2006 she received the Buning Brongersprize for painting, in 2008 she was nominated for the Wolvecampprize. Recent exhibitions are 'Parts' in Xiamin, China; "l'Exposition Continu�", in Circuit in Lausanne; and two gallery exhibitions in New York: Kate Werble gallery and "I Love Benelux", at Virgil de Voldere. Evi Vingerling is the first in a series of three painters exhibitions, in which every artists leaves a part of his/her work behind, which then will be taken along by the following artist. After Evi Vingerling new paintings and sculptures by George Korsmit will be shown, followed by Mark Kent who, amongst new paintings, will present his "Dress" (in limited edition), published by Mo-Arteditions. At Art Amsterdam: solo by Ksenia Galiaeva. Jannie Regnerus will be present in the acquisition presentation of Stedelijk Museum "Off the Record". At Art Basel/Unlimited: Falke Pisano. In edb/Dolores/curated by Joris Lindhout: Constant Dullaart Earthquake 2.0 Constant Dullaart (the Netherlands, 1979) has just finished his residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, with a practice focusing on contemporary image language at it's dirtiest. Trained as a video artist, his work has recently focussed on the Internet and re-contextualizing found material. His works are widely discussed online. Brian Droitcour writes for Art in America magazine: "Dullaart's readymades, however, demonstrate his interest in what might be called 'default' style - the bland tables of sans serif text and soulless stock photography that frame ads for some of the most common search terms (auto insurance, cheap airline tickets, pornography), baring the underbelly of the Internet's popular use. But Dullaart's readymades are more than a formalist exploration of the Internet at its most banal. They are also a study in the relationship of the index to its referent, an issue that Rosalind Krauss connected to the readymade in her 1976 essay 'Notes on the Index, Part 1.' Krauss defines indices as 'the traces of a particular cause, and that cause is the thing to which they refer, the object they signify.' .... Dullaart is a persistent investigator of new modes of constructing and relating meaning brought about by the Internet." In the exhibition 'Earthquake 2.0' Dullaart combines his earlier interests in found footage with contemporary technology. It shows an installation in which he places the viewer in the middle of a disaster documented during the web 2.0 era. This work shows the change in how the world around us is represented, a default filter found in video editing software can be the same as a disaster that killed over 100.000 people. Dullaart teaches at the Gerrit Rietveld academy, and curates several events in Amsterdam, such as the periodically held Lost and Found evenings, and the recently finished exhibition 'Contemporary Semantics Beta' in Arti et Amicitiae. His work is shown internationally in places as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Art in General and MWNM gallery in New York, ICA London, Montevideo, de Appel, W139, and will be shown in the Stedelijk Museum exhibition 'Off the Record' during Art Amsterdam this summer.
