CITYSCAPES at RAW ART FAIR
RAW ART FAIR
06 to 10
February 2013 Cityscapes Gallery presents at the Raw Art Fair Rotterdam
exiting new work by three guest artists, who use destruction and distortion to construct new spatial realities: Marjan Teeuwen, Alexa Meyerman and
Jeroen Molenaar.
Modern Dutch
architecture is characterized by a dialectic proces of destruction and reconstruction.
‘YOU DESTRUCT WHAT WE BUILD UP’ said Berlage to Gerrit Rietveld. Rietveld on his
turn blamed Aldo van Eyck to do the contrary: ‘YOU BUILD UP WHAT WE DESTRUCTED’
Building and destruction are also the common themes behind the installations
and objects that Cityscapes Gallery shows at this years Raw Art Fair.
MARJAN TEEUWEN
Cityscapes
Gallery is proud to collaborate on Raw Art Fair 2013 project based with special guest artist
Marjan Teeuwen. Cityscapes offers at RAW Marjan Teeuwens monumental photo series
VERWOEST HUIS BLOEMHOF. The Bloemhof series is based on the installation that
Marjan Teeuwen realized in a demolition house in Rotterdam Zuid. During RAW it
is possible to visit the installation Verwoest Huis Bloemhof. A shuttle bus
drives regularly from Raw Art Fair to the nearby location of the installation
at Putse Bocht 58/60.
ALEXA MEYERMAN
At RAW
Cityscapes Gallery shows three recent photo objects by Alexa Meyerman. Her
fragile, transparent photo sculptures are dreamlike depictions of existing
buildings. The buildings are reconstructed in a surreal way. Some details have
been emphasized; others are dissolving or dissolved, like in memories or
dreams.
JEROEN MOLENAAR
Jeroen Molenaar
is a young Dutch artist who investigates architectonic themes in his
sculptures, paintings and photo’s. Cityscapes shows at RAW Molenaars wall
sculpture DISTORTED LANDSCAPE and some recent paintings. Both paintings and
sculptures show deconstructions and distortions of architectonic environments.
