Connected exhibition photos

The opening of the exhibition Connected has been great. There where many visitors, great music and a beautiful atmosphere. These are some photos of the exhibition.

The interactive exhibition Connected at Frank Taal Galerie invites us to rethink our connections with each other and art.

New forms of communication make it easier than ever to maintain contact, regardless of physical distance. Yet contemporary society seems increasingly divided, with personal contact slowly disappearing. The shift to digital interaction can limit spontaneous encounters and increase the feeling of isolation.

The artists in Connected all work with the theme of connection, each from a unique perspective. Their works offer perspectives on possible connections in contemporary society. This concept is reinforced by the exhibition layout, which makes the experience of connection tangible. For this purpose, the gallery is divided into a space of contact and isolation, each with its own rules and a contrasting atmosphere. In this way, visitors are challenged to connect with the work and each other in new ways.

The participating artists are;
Semâ Bekirović
Zoë d’Hont
Saminte Ekeland
Caren Van Herwaarden
Ildikó Horváth
Marilou van Lierop

Dämmerung

The summer exhibition Dämmerung is exclusively opened during twilight; the moment of
day in which the amount of sunlight declines, and the day transforms into night. During this
exhibition, all phases of dusk will be addressed; from the so called ‘civil’ dusk – in which the
human eye is still capable of detecting all small details -, until the ‘astronomic’ dusk, -in
which the darkness finally takes away our sight- .

During twilight, our senses sharpen; as if preparing to hunt. By catching shadows, that will
slowly crawl over the artworks, the visitors will experience the artworks as never before.

Twilight is not only a natural phenomenon: it also marks a mental area: a period that rises
more questions than answers, which forces us to rely on mere interpretation.

Each work in this exhibition relates to the theme of twilight in its own way. Aldo van den
Broek, for example, shows us scenes from Eastern Europe, in which civilians live in the
inbetween of communism and the following era. His black works are composed with
masked materials, likewise the way deteriorated materials in communist architecture are
often coveredd with a thin layer of masking plaster.

The work of WDKA graduate Vincent Zanni, departs from a whole different perspective: in
his dark blue cyanotypes, he shows us slowly fading memories.

As the summer progresses, the days will shorten. At the beginning of the show, the
artworks will still somewhat be lit by sunlight. But at the end of the exhibition, visitors must
probably use some lights of their own, to reveal all hidden structures. However, the show
won’t be obscured completely, as it takes place in a city that never completely sleeps itself.

Curator Thomas Meijerman (Westervoort, 1995) graduated in 2020 from the WDKA and
has since then, been studying dynamic natural phenomenon.
