EXHIBITION STATEMENT

‘KEEP ON GOING’ is the first in a series of exhibitions curated by NL=US Gallery artists. This exhibition features seven artists from Germany and the Netherlands, all making kinetic work: art that moves.
The participating artists are Jan van Munster, Leslie Nagel, Jorrit Paaijmans, Pfeifer & Kreutzer and Julius Stahl. Lily de Bont, artist associated with the gallery and curator of this exhibition, will also be showing work herself.

Often with the help of an electric motor, the artists literally set static paintings and sculptures, which are usually displayed in a gallery, in motion, stretching the boundary of the traditional art object with an extra dimension: time. The works become like a performance, an endlessly repeating movement, as if the paintings and sculptures have come to life. Human influence is ultimately limited to turning the works on and off.

The starting point for the gallery’s exhibition series, is that artists, each of whom has a long-term working relationship with NL=US Gallery, provide insight broadening and deepening their own work and the gallery, by creating a context with other artists they find inspiring.

ARTIST STATEMENTS

Pfeifer & Kreutzer
The sound sculptures of Pfeifer & Kreutzer are minimalist objects brought to life through technology, where programmed compositions resemble emotional outbursts.

Jan van Munster
Energy is the basis around which everything revolves.., the force fields between you and me.

Leslie Nagel
Leslie Nagel’s sculptures squeak, grind, tap, shock and crack.

Jorrit Paaijmans
Paaijman’s hand-made mechanical objects produce drawings – or are they drawings in themselves?

Julius Stahl
The light and sound based objects of Julius Stahl appear as a movement in between seeing and hearing.

Lily de Bont
In the threads extracted from the linen, I expected an anti-form. The opposite is true: the anti-form of the loose threads turns out to reflect the painted composition and becomes a residual form.
