I HAVE TO WORK HARDER
Solo tentoonstelling Aukje Dekker

24 April - 19 May 2010
Vriend van Bavink, Geldersekade 58, Amsterdam

Aukje Dekker’s eerste solo-expositie in Nederland zal van 24 april tot en met 19 mei te zien zijn bij galerie Vriend van Bavink. In 2009 voltooide Aukje Dekker de Master of Fine Art aan het Central Saint Martins in Londen. Eerder studeerde ze aan het Sandberg Instituut en de Rietveld Academie. De expositie bij Vriend van Bavink zal een selectie van haar meest recente werk tonen. Er zal onder andere nieuw video-werk te zien zijn en “The 24 Painting Project”, dat eerder werd geëxposeerd in de OXO Tower in London. In dit werk onderzoekt Aukje Dekker de waarde van iets authentieks als een schilderij. Dekker heeft een obsessie voor obsessies, op een vaak humoristische wijze weet zij de dwangmatigheid van sociaal gedrag te visualiseren.

The Apartment Project
11-13 December 2009

Private View
Friday 11 December 2009, 6-9pm
35-37 Broadway Market
E8 4PH London

Aukje Dekker experiments with a range different media such as film, performance, photography, spatial installation and painting. As she says herself "I prefer to take a situation as the starting point rather than laying the starting point within a certain situation. This can be a feeling, an event or a thought, whatever is keeping my mind busy at that moment."
For one of her previous projects she made 24 paintings of the exact same image in collaboration with Jack Lewis. As such questions of authorship were put forward, the relationship between the viewer and the art work as well as the inherent value of a work. On a second level the issue of uselessness arose, the act of making art as a compulsive reflex?
In the Apartment Project Aukje Dekker will present a video work engaging with similar issues as well as the notion of physical endurance. Next to that a print will be shown from her MA degree show at Central Saint Martins. This consisted out of the room-sized video installation 'Verwend Ongenoegen (Spoilt)', where a series of men were projected against the walls while continually vomitting paint in all the colours of the rainbow in glitters.

'Atmosphere in the Spectrum' is an exhibition showcasing a gamut of young emerging artists each at different stages of their education who explore a wide variety of techniques for expressing something as intangible as mood, atmosphere and spectrum.

Each artist brings a different viewpoint to bear on the concept of atmosphere; thus, by its very nature, each vision expressed will be personal, engaging the viewer in a very individual way.

The artists present their work in a range of media including drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation and video, featuring a fluidity that will appeal to a sweep of emotions enhancing the work as well through the influence of the space and the aura of the crypt that pervades it.
