YOUR:OWN
Our buddy Jeroen from Amsterdam, who is frequently in Copenhagen and Århus due to his love sitch, and works as a magazine editor for Reload and art curator, has recently got his fingers on a fine new space in Amsterdam to showcase new young contemporary artists.
YOUR:OWN is a gallery space aimed to facilitate young contemporary artists in Amsterdam. Over a period of four months, nine artists will be invited for a solo exhibition. The artists come from different backgrounds and work in different mediums. Creative energy is what connects them.
The artists showing are:
Lil Shy
Joe Holbrook
Pinkyvision
Stefan Glerum
Lennard Schuurmans
Gijs Kast
And our very own local hero Silencio
The space opens on the 26th of March, with its first exhibition of Amsterdam based artist Gijs Kast. His exhibition titled ‘SHOW’ will see portrayals of people he encountered at various ‘shows’ throughout the Netherlands and Belgium, like a dog show and a ‘strongest’ man contest in Antwerp. With his raw and confronting illustrational portrayals he has won the Dutch Design Award in 2009 for Best Illustration.
