Analog Borders; Grafische Werkplaats Den Haag (The Hague Graphic Studio)

Analog Borders Festival is a small but fine festival for artists and designers initiated by Grafische Werkplaats Den Haag (The Hague Graphic Studio).

Part of it is an exhibition, open to the public, with works by different artists made in the Studio, exploring the borders of traditional graphic techniques.

For Zeger Reyers this was a good opportunity to see how flatfish would look when used as printing material.

Designer duo Kok Pistolet try to show the individual expression of preparing an etching plate.

Navid Nuur used lithographic stone to make a piece of ceramics and

citric acid for screen printing these pterodactyls.

Very different works by artists like Stijn Peeters and

Charlotte van Winden are presented brotherly together.

Peeters being the great etching professional he is, mixing Delacroix with themes of the present and

Van Winden diving into the world of subcultures with almost mercurial energy.

Lisa Blaauwbroek has experimented with skin cream connecting reproduction with finiteness.

To Peter Zuur gum printing is the base of his works on show.

The small exhibition shows very diverse works but with a constant high quality, in a studio setting.

On Friday December 4th Gemak/Vrije Academie closed its doors as a result of rigorous cuts by the municipality of The Hague in financing the institution. Herewith a good and spacious platform to show present day art in dialogue with the neighbourhood, the city town and indeed the rest of the world, is closed down. On the last day of its existence Gemak organized amongst others a one day exhibition in which more than forty artists took part. It was a great and heart warming show for the closing institution and for the many people who attended. The next day I visited Gemak to make some pictures of the day after for this posting. For a full article in Dutch about the closure of Gemak i refer you to Villa La Repubblica (click here). In the mean time, enjoy the pictures.
