CEES KRIJNEN 'The Ultimate Self-Portrait' Ronald Ruseler, Arthur Kempenaar and Michelangelo Pistoletto, 5 – 28 OCTOBER 2012 private view Thursday 4 OCTOBER 6 - 9pm For over a decade Dutch artist Cees Krijnen has made art – sculpture, drawing, photography, performance - from the raw material of his own life. His final show at the Rijksakademie initiated the continuing project ‘Woman in Divorce Battle’, dealing with the aftermath of his mother’s messy divorce and subsequent life as a single woman. In his new work he turns to his father: or rather to the gap left during his adolescence by a father who as a sea-captain was emotionally and physically absent. A gap to be filled by his three most significant art tutors, the father-figures who Krijnen acknowledges formed him as a man and as an artist - from school, Ronald Ruseler, Arthur Kempenaar from the Rietveld Academie, and finally Michelangelo Pistoletto, who was one of his judges for that final Rijksakademie show, and who from then on became his aesthetic and political mentor. The show will consist of a major piece by Krijnen himself, and works by Ruseler and Pistoletto. On the final Sunday of the show (28 October at 4 pm) Krijnen will launch and give a reading from his new autobiography 'The Ultimate Self-Portrait' This travelling exhibition is made possible by the support of The Mondrian Foundation studio1.1 57a Redchurch St London E2 7DJ tubes: Shoreditch High St/Liverpool St/Old St bus: 8, 26, 35, 47, 48, 149, 344, 388 email: [email protected] tel: 07952 986696 web: http://www.studio1-1.co.uk open: Wednesday to Sunday 12-6 pm or by appointment |
