MATT BRYANS, WOJCIECH BAKOWSKI
21 January – 3 March 3, 2012
Martin van Zomeren is pleased to present a duo-show by . The exhibition
includes new work by Matt Bryans and the film Spoken Movie 5 by
Bakowski.
Matt Bryans uses as ‘found’ material common newspaper images that he
strenuously erases to create a mysterious but highly refined world.
Pieces are placed together creating a substantial density. The gallery
presents new landscape panoramas where their large formats do not limit
their intimacy.
Bryans has exhibited among others at the Ullens Center for Contemporary
Art (Beijing), MOCA (Los Angeles), Tate Modern (London) and at the Musée
des Beaux-Arts (Besançon).
Wojciech Bąkowski is a polish artist, poet and musician. Wojciech’s reality is tangible, concrete, and first of all audible.
Spoken Movie 5 is based on domestic neurosis: the narrator guides us
through his closed room, describing his everyday objects. The poetic
narration of the film is closely combined with the image, and the two
elements are in fact inseparable.
The understanding of the text without the image is hermetic, since the
imagination inherent to the film can only reveal its abstract sense
through the combination with the image.
Wojciech exhibited among others at the New Museum (New York), Casino
(Luxembourg), Museum of Modern Art (Warsaw) and at the Sainsbury Center
for Visual Arts (Norwich). His work is presented for the first time in
the Netherlands.
