Have a look and listen for a textural and scale-wise glimpse into this solo exhibition. Here's a video interview in relation to my current solo exhibition, MASTERBLASTER which durates until August 23rd, 2020 at het Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen/ the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp. Thank you M HKA communication department (Madiken Verboven and Oliver Vereycken). Elke Vandersypen wrote an article about a 5.7 meter/ 18 foot 8 inch long artwork I made inspired by Bobbejaan Schoepen, a Flemish pioneer in Belgian pop music, vaudeville, and European country music. It's funny to be in different parts of the world and learn about another side of Americana through the experiences of others. 
 Installation of my new artwork, "Chicken Frying, Fire Breathing, Son-of-a-Gun." Photo: Madiken Verboven for the M HKA Tramaine de Senna January 18 - A OPENING NIGHT Thursday, February 6th, 2020 20:00 / 08:00pm Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Antwerpen / Museum of Contemporary Art Leuvenstraat 32 2000 Antwerpen Belgium  Tramaine de Senna’s work bears witness to the artist’s intense relationship with materials, but also to the “migration of forms” between different popular or material cultures, excess, and also the symbolic violence and ‘hauntology’ of histories, both trans-cultural and personal. Working primarily with sculpture, de Senna’s works float aesthetically between exuberance and repulsion. In appropriating different forms, surface qualities and palettes, these works adopt a position of reflection towards society’s ability to produce prosaic pop culture in conjunction with its cannibalism of symbols and human subjectivities. For her solo exhibition at M HKA, titled MASTERBLASTER, de Senna presents a series of new works alongside a key selection of existing sculptures. Together, this constellation of works form a broader investigation of transitionary aesthetics and selfhood. The forms that comprise de Senna’s works can be seen as acts of resistance to the contemporary demands for foregrounding one’s biography or one’s relations to established constituencies of identity, in favour of something much more ambiguous. Under the saccharin hues and textures, lye things more unresolved, mutable and non-representational. In this exhibition, these works requires us to reconcile our desires with the enigmatic nature of de Senna’s works. Tramaine de Senna is an artist from California who lives presently in Antwerp. In 2015, de Senna became a laureate of the HISK (Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten) in Ghent. In 2013, she earned an MFA from the Sint Joost Academy in Breda and ‘s-Hertogenbosch (NL); and in 2004, graduated with two simultaneous BA degrees in Architecture and in Art from the University of California at Berkeley. Recent solo exhibitions include: Tramaine de Senna, Mélange, Cologne (2019); Supernatural, Pulsar, Antwerp (2019); and Tramaine de Senna, Art Centre Hugo Voeten, Herentals, BE (2015). Duo and group exhibitions include: New Movement, Boston, USA (2019); Universal Folklore – Farah Atassi & Tramaine de Senna, Permekemuseum, Jabbeke (2018); CO/LAB 4, Torrance Art Museum, California, US (2019); and Traumdepot: Plastik/Kunstoff, Bern, (2017); two commissioned poster works are currently on view at Witte de With, Rotterdam (2019). The IN SITU programme offers medium-scale monographic exhibitions by significant early- and mid-career artists from around the world. It focuses on the commissioning of new artworks and experimental practices in what is M HKA’s largest and most atypical exhibition space. The IN SITU programme is led by Nav Haq, Associate Director at M HKA.

On Friday, September 13th, 2019, from 6-9:00 o'clock pm, I am pleased to announce my duo person exhibition with Nicolás Lamas in which a selection of my artworks will be exhibited at Loggia in München's Maxvorstadt university district, home to both small galleries and major cultural sights such as the three Pinakothek art museums. This exhibition, curated by Patrick Haas and Jonas Schenk of Köln's Mélange, is part of “Various Others,” a forum with a mission to “intensify exchange and dialogue between the art scene in München and international partners, guests and media.”   If you happen to be in Boston, Massachusetts (US) on Friday, June 7, 2019,  NEW MOVEMENT Movement catches the eye, but it is not easy to see. Can we spot the impetus to motion? Can we tell the stillness of a completed action from the stillness before it began? How does the perception of movement change as we move? The artists in this show animate the connection between rhythm and syntax, basic steps and speech. A language, a family, each city street is revealed to “contain multitudes,” as Walt Whitman sings about the self. “As if you tied a knot on a timeline so that the past and future switch places and cover the current moment in more curves" (Oliver Strand). Or, as William James describes the present, like "a canoe or a saddle," something you can move back and forth inside of; it has a definite duration, is not infinitely divisible like a geometric point. Cherished gestures from pop and conceptual art, postmodern dance and *the movies* are rethought and remade. Part of a wider commitment to the relevance of physical experience, this exhibition explores what human movement looks like now. The results are unlikely and affecting. Featuring the work of Julie Carr, Carmine Grimaldi, Deniz Tortum, Wendy Jacob, Will Johnson, Helen Mirra, Robert Moeller, Joseph Pomp, Nathan Liow, Tramaine de Senna, and Helen Singh-Miller.

On Sunday, April 7th, 2019, at 3pm, I have the great pleasure to invite you to the opening of "Een tentoonstelling met posters / An Exhibition of Posters" at the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. On this day, the collective learning participants of Witte de With will announce a new identity for Untitled, the provisional name of the ground-floor gallery space which is open, free of admission, to the public. A set of A0 posters (84.1 x 118.9 cm or 33.1 x 46.8), available in an infinite edition, will be unveiled in response to this new identity. Twelve artists, including me, were specifically commissioned to make two posters each. These posters are available for purchase. I will be delighted to meet you there.   ENGLISH: ◑ Opening of An Exhibition of Posters Sunday 7 April 2019, 3 - 6 pm Location: Untitled (ground floor gallery) Free entrance An exhibition of posters by Maja Bekan, Kévin Bray, Chloë Delanghe, Baldvin Einarsson, Priscila Fernandes, Vera Gulikers, An Onghena, Kevin Osepa, Josie Perry, Rory Pilgrim, Tramaine de Senna, and Edward Clydesdale Thomson. Organized as part of the initiative for collective learning with Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij and Sytze Vanderwolk. The twelve visual artists, who live in the Netherlands and the surrounding region, were commissioned these posters as part of Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art’s collective learning initiative, with a focus on community building. This initiative entails many activities, including a work/study program designed for Rotterdam youth. The program includes art history courses as well as business workshops, and engages the program participants in skill-building activities to gain skills that range from hospitality to creating collaborative partnerships. During the first edition nine participants enrolled: Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij and Sytze Vanderwolk. They are either still enrolled in school or are already pursuing a career in the arts. For a period of six months, these young Rotterdammers met, discussed ideas, and organized public programs together with Witte de With’s Curator of Collective Learning, Jessy Koeiman. The participants learned and worked in the ground floor gallery space of Witte de With from September 2018 until February 2019. This space has provisionally been called Untitled, and is designed as a site for art displays and public convening, as well as the primary location for the institution’s public programs. At the exhibition opening on Sunday, April 7, the collective learning participants will announce a new identity for Untitled, which they conceptualized and developed during their work/study program. In an effort to make the ground-floor gallery space more readily accessible to the public, entrance is free of admission. -------------------- NEDERLANDS: ◑ Opening van Een tentoonstelling met posters zondag 7 april 2019, 15:00 - 18:00 uur Locatie: Zonder titel (tentoonstellingsruimte op de begane grond) Gratis inloop Houd de middag van zondag 7 april 2019 van 15:00 tot 18:00 uur vrij voor de opening van: Een tentoonstelling van posters door Maja Bekan, Kévin Bray, Chloë Delanghe, Baldvin Einarsson, Priscila Fernandes, Vera Gulikers, An Onghena, Kevin Osepa, Josie Perry, Rory Pilgrim, Tramaine de Senna, en Edward Clydesdale Thomson. Georganiseerd als onderdeel van het initiatief voor collectief leren, met Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij en Sytze Vanderwolk. De twaalf beeldend kunstenaars die voornamelijk in Nederland wonen, hebben hun werk gemaakt in opdracht van Witte de Withs nieuwe Collectief Leren programma, dat zich richt op gemeenschapsvorming. Dit initiatief omvat meerdere activiteiten, waaronder het werk-leertraject voor Rotterdamse jongeren, met workshops variërend van beeldende kunst tot het betrekken van gemeenschappen en ondernemerschap. Het doel was uiteenlopende vaardigheden te verwerven: van gastvrijheid tot het creëren van samenwerkingsverbanden. Tijdens deze eerste editie waren negen deelnemers actief: Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij en Sytze Vanderwolk. Sommigen van hen studeren of werken en sommigen streven een carrière in de kunst na. Gedurende een periode van zes maanden ontmoetten deze jonge Rotterdammers elkaar, bespraken ze ideeën en organiseerden ze een reeks evenementen samen met Jessy Koeiman, Witte de Withs Programmamaker voor Collectief Leren. De jongeren hebben vanaf september 2018 tot februari 2019 geleerd en gewerkt in de ruimte op de begane grond van Witte de With. Deze tentoonstellingsruimte met de voorlopige naam Zonder titel is ontworpen voor kunstpresentaties en publieke bijeenkomsten en is daarmee de voornaamste plek voor openbare programma’s. Tijdens de opening van de tentoonstelling op zondag 7 april zullen de jongeren de nieuwe identiteit onthullen voor de tentoonstellingsruimte die zij hebben ontwikkeld tijdens het werk-leertraject. Om de ruimte zo toegankelijk mogelijk te maken voor publiek is deze ruimte altijd gratis te bezoeken. -------------------- Witte de Withstraat 50 3012 BR Rotterdam The Netherlands T: +31 (0) 10 411 01 44 Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Closed Sunday, Monday, and all major holidays. Dear Friends and Colleagues,  I have the great pleasure to invite you to the opening of SUPERNATURAL, my solo exhibition at Pulsar, an independent exhibition space by and for artists. All new works will be exhibited for their first time. I will be delighted to meet you there. ***** Tramaine de Senna’s SUPERNATURAL is part of an ever-evolving body of work that bears witness to the artist’s intense relationship with materials and her interest in issues such as the migration of forms, pop and material culture, internalized violence, exuberance, and the enduring ambiguous presence - “ghosts” - of histories. Executed via the plasticity of foam, textiles, and 2-composite materials, the SUPERNATURAL series are sculptures of biomorphic, abstracting, and rectilinear entities, radiating information in non-narrative ways, existing in lives outside human consciousness. These nomadic elements, drifting through time and space, are extracted from a vast visual and audio bank compiled by the artist. They reveal a myriad of ongoing preoccupations including Brutalist architecture of electrical power and telecommunications, children’s television programming, exotica for armchair safari-ers, frontier idioms, architecture between the world wars such as streamline modernism, funk and soul music, toys, and the creativity of “passing” to avoid stigma. She makes a visual and conceptual link, for example, between the physical manifestation of internalized violence and the formalism of certain hybrid plastic injection molded toys, equating both to the grotesque (deformation bodies, tortured souls). In this sense, her forms are analytical and emotive, an exercise in social dissection that inhabits a haunting formalism, heightened by tactility, bouts of scale, and a visceral use of texture and color. ***** Opening: FRIDAY, MARCH 15th, 2019; 19:00 > 22:00 ***** Exhibition: MARCH 15 - APRIL 6, 2019 ***** Viewing dates: Saturday - Sunday, March 16th and 17th; 14:00 > 18:00 … or visit by appointment: +32 (0) 499 63 21 65 ***** PULSAR Frankrijklei 51 2000 Antwerp, Belgium website | Instagram | Facebook Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten - event  Dear friends and colleagues, On Friday, November 16th, 2018, from 18-22:00, I am pleased to announce the opening of "In the Pines," a duo exhibition with artist Eline De Clercq at Haecken & Ooghen.

[...] there are whites and blacks among us who hate each other, we will not; there are those who are betrayed by greed, by guilt, by blood lust, but not we; we will set our faces against them and join hands and walk together into the dazzling future when there will be no white or black.”^1    Opening Sunday, August 26th, 2018; 14 - 17 hr confirm your presence at: info@warp-art.be (free) Exhibition Information August 26th - October 7th, 2018 (Wase Artistieke Projecten) Apostelstraat 20 9100 Sint-Niklaas, Belgium *****  above: Max Schmeling Twenty artists received an original copy of Signaal, a very popular German military propaganda magazine distributed during World War II in the occupied territories.

Description of the photo above: Way back in 1976 the word Hammerfriar was coined when Jill Plamann and her husband Steve decided to name any joint venture they created. Based on the words hammer-for-hire they would do anything they could to earn a dime to support their artistic ventures. NEWS: Hammerfriar Gallery celebrates its first 13 Years with a retrospective of 41 artists. This is the final show curated by influential Gallery founder, Jill Plamann, who is retiring after 40 years of presenting art. The Gallery will now continue under the direction of new owners Charly Leys and Glenn Young. Hammerfriar Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art with a vision. Since our inception in 2005, we have developed a reputation as one of Sonoma County's premier galleries -- representing both established and emerging artists from the greater San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Our artists are diverse in their expression and backgrounds, yet they share a common intuition and vision that is conveyed in their individual styles and mediums. Through exhibitions of paintings, sculpture and mixed media art, we come together to explore a central philosophy deeply rooted in humanity, time and space. 41 VISUAL ARTISTS: Chris Beards, Edi Bergman, Seymour Bergman, Francesco Cafiso, Ryan Carrington, Peter Crompton, Robyn Spencer-Crompton, Sandy Deeks, Ryan Douglas, Ann Gerber, Harley, Pamela Holmes, Jenny Honnert, John Hundt, Britta Kathmeyer, Sally Krahn, Frank LaPena, Pat Lenz, Hamlet Mateo, Gene McClelland, Penny Michel, Frank Miller, Monty Monty, Art Moura, Jann Nunn, Daniel Oberti, Sherry Parker, Molly Perez, Catherine Richardson, Deborah Salomon, Tramaine de Senna, Bill Shelley, Judson King Smith, Claude Smith, Robert Michael Smith, Shelley Spira Burns, Alice Sutro, Mike Tinney, James Vogel, Victoria Wagner, and Kathleen Yorba EXHIBITION: June 23 - August 25 RECEPTION: June 23 6 - 9 PM 132 Mill Street, Ste. 101 Healdsburg, CA 95448 707-473-9600 Tu-Fr, 10-6, Sat, 10-5 From June 3rd to October 21st, 2018, I am pleased to announce an exhibition curated by Ilse Roosens of paintings by Farah Atassi and a mixture of new and older works from my oeuvre at the Constant Permeke Museum in Jabbeke (through Mu.Zee in Oostende, Belgium).  Like Constant Permeke’s, the works of Farah Atassi and Tramaine de Senna manifest a keen interest in folkloric motifs. The artists copy and mix the imagery of objects that are often situated in an ethnographic or design context, such as carpets, masks or toys. In the first half of the twentieth century, Permeke and several of his contemporaries adopted the forms of African masks and sculptures. They were motivated by a fascination with the aesthetic qualities of the objects.

Text: The Californian artist, Tramaine de Senna, is interested in the migration of forms in relation to material culture and political economies. Through a staging of her work as artifacts, de Senna cues a visual cinematic memory in relation to the viewer under which histories manifest. Next to older works, the emphasis of this exhibition will be on her most recent creations. Tramaine de Senna (°1981, San Francisco, California) is currently based in Ghent where she is following an artist in residency at the HISK (Higher Institute of Fine Arts).
