You are more than welcome to see this and art from "kunstenaars, samplers, leugenaars, residenten en dissidenten."  above: Joe Louis and Max Schmeling “ [...] each perpetually assumes the guise of the other, creating that dense, many-sided and shifting reality which is the world we live in and the world we make. To tell his story is to begin to liberate us from his image and it is, for the first time, to clothe this phantom with flesh and blood, to deepen, by our understanding of him and his relationship to us, our understanding of ourselves and of all men. [...] 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. Starting from this source material the artists create new work, in diverse materials and contexts. They all work on the thin line between fact & fiction, between truth & lies. Verknipt will be officially opened with a speech of political journalist Ivan De Vadderand with a musical sampling by opera singer Eurudike De Beul. In co-operation with the library of Sint-Niklaas.  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.
