Ellen de Bruijne, Amsterdam

/EDB PROJECTS: KSENIA GALIAEVA

Ksenia Galiaeva (Pskov, 1976) is taking us back (again!), to gloomy afternoons, late night walks with friends, back to the parental kitchen and the intense synopsis of her life "view from the kitchen window". Back to all her friends she had to leave, back to the well-known and familiar places, back to the small town of Pskov, somewhere in the middle of the Russian countryside, south of St. Petersburg.
It seems that Galiaeva is not only leading us to personal places, but also leading us back in time. As Hilde de Bruijn describes the work in the Appel's "In the mean time" catalogue, it "gives the viewer the impression that what is being depicted has withdrawn itself from time". And that "there also seems to be an accumulation of several periods from the past, both on a historical as well as on a personal level". () "several pasts seem to come together in the shared presence of the photo."
In the gallery, Ksenia Galiaeva will present her latest work with photographs, a slide installation and photo-albums.

opening Saturday, January 24, 17.00 - 19.00h

/DOLORES: LESLIE KAMPS

The animations of Leslie Kamps (1970, lives and works in Groningen), made with the aid of computer-programs, are both tragic and humorous. Although they often consist of only very simple elements such as lines and circles moving around in a mechanical and repetitive manner there's definitely a story being told. While watching his schematized representations of human behavior identification with the mad little black ball seems inevitable. The animations that bear titles like Tiktak drie (Ticktack three) quite straightforwardly refer to serious existential matters but display something mildly lighthearted as well.
In Dolores Leslie Kamps will show 6 animations simultaneously, including his video Bismarck (2003), a reconstruction of the ruin of the German battleship Bismarck. According to the history books, the Bismarck, which the Germans had worked on for years, was finally finished in 1942. The ship was supposed to lead to a reversal in the Second World War, but it was all too soon destroyed by the English air force and navy. Two thousand Germans died.

opening Saturday, January 24, 17.00 - 19.00h
