Upcoming FRENZY - Talk 22.1o. 5pm

Be welcome to join the conversation Plant whisperers; an event
in response to the work of artist Annegret Kellner, featuring Bioethicist Dirk Hilbers at the Nieuwe Vide in Haarlem.
Followed by a film screening of The Secret Live Of Plants.

>> THIS WEEK LAST CHANCE TO VISIT FRENZY - 26.o9 <<

The trope in Annegretâ€™s work are flowers and plants in distress. With admiration and irony she looks at how unpredictable nature is applied as decoration in family environments. At the Nieuwe Vide she placed a ficus in cramped confinement. This normally soothing office plant rustles with nerves. In her most recent video we see a palm fighting the surf, unnaturally places underwater and subject to external forces. more>>

>> I am not doing anything until I feel the need <<

She reproduced the artworks in the form of a calendar, which will confront the viewer with this mantra everyday. The exhibition in De Nederlandsche Bank gives an overview of all the original works used for the calendar. This conceptual and collaborative artwork is available in bookshops and museum shops in the Netherlands and Belgium and can be ordered online via: http://www.bekkingblitz.com

upcoming solo exhibition

COMMON LAND | DAPIRAN ART PROJECT SPACE

Springweg 59 | Utrecht

Opening | Saturday o1.11. | 5 pm - 9 pm
1th of November - 20th of December 2014

Dapiran Art Project Space proudly presents the solo exhibition COMMON LAND by Annegret Kellner, refering to the common roots that both plants and humans share; the soil that we both need to live from. In her work Kellner uses the plant as a metaphor for the nature as a whole, to show the way in which we, humans, seemingly obviously use the nature around ourselves without having any legitimate knowledge about the consequences of our behaviour. In an ironical manner but with admiration of our tamed, green inhabitant as well, Kellner makes us aware of this complex relation with nature. >>more
