Van Ostade Biennale | Lonneke van der Palen


  • Galerie Fleur & Wouter Van Ostadestraat 43a Amsterdam The Netherlands (map)

The fifth edition of the Van Ostade Biennale opens on Saturday May 25. In our shared shared space, Galerie Fleur & Wouter and GoMulan Gallery present a living exhibition with work by Lonneke van der Palen and Sophie Steengracht. The exhibition is constantly in motion, through an evolving mural and changing placement of the works. The exhibition is part of Amsterdam Art Week (May 30- June 2)

The artistic practice of photographer Lonneke van der Palen (NL, 1985) unfolds as a constantly growing visual research in which one overarching theme is key: material culture and its preserved, unexpected aesthetic beauty. Out of this emerges a dynamically growing visual archive. For this exhibition, Van der Palen chose never before shown images. 

On June 21, Van der Palen opens a solo exhibition at Museum JAN and will also present her first book, which can be seen as an exhibition concept within a publication form. The book consists of individual pages with which endless combinations can be made and invites you to create your own presentation at home.
