My abstract comic at the WildBookMarket !

At the WildBookMarket (WBM), national and international artists and publishers will be presenting their remarkable art books published between 2007-2011. WBM is the ideal opportunity to explore, buy or exchange art(ists) books. This year WBM will be focussing on the phenomenon of the monograph. WBM 2011 includes 20 exhibitors and over a 100 individual entries. The entries come from many countries in Europe, and one from the USA. Most publications were released in 2010, but some are even fresh off the press! On 11 February the WBM 2011 catalog (€8,-) will be presented.

nov 2010: I participate with abstract drawings @ Ketelfactory Schiedam:

PEOPLE, PASSIONS, PLACES….The World of Hans van Bentem 21 november 2010 t/m 30 januari 2011 Beeldend kunstenaar Hans van Bentem heeft zich bekwaamd in monumentale sculpturen, veelal in de openbare ruimte. Zijn zoektocht naar traditionele, ambachtelijke materialen om zijn verhalen in te vertellen brachten hem o.a. naar Tsjechië voor kristal, India voor brons, China voor porcelein en Marokko voor koperwerk. Op uitnodiging van de KetelFactory heeft van Bentem een tentoonstelling samengesteld. Hij vindt het onderwerp van meer belang dan de stijl: ieder beeld heeft zijn eigen verhaal en dit kan op vele wijzen in beeld gebracht worden. Middels een aantal opgetuigde wanden, die figureren als ‘klankborden’ wordt divers werk getoond uit van Bentems eigen collectie, alsmede werk van 3 ‘Special Guests’. De essentie van de tentoonstelling is de mentale constructie, die de kunstenaar in staat stelt zijn werk te maken: hiertoe omringt hij zich met werk dat inspireert en waarin hij tevens bevestiging ziet in de gekozen weg: het interieur van de kunstenaar als spiegel van de ziel… De ‘Special Guests’: Woody van Amen (NL), Harma Heikens (NL) & Milan Kunc (CZ) Verder zal er werk getoond worden van Camara Gueye (Senegal), Ralph van Meijgaard (NL), Karel Goudsbloem (NL), Yulong (CN), Adriaan Rees (NL), Herman Makkink (NL), Peter Saul (USA), Gert Arntz (NL), IRIS (NL), Arno Coenen (NL), Luis Pablo Bolivar (Spanje), Denis A. Gomis (Senegal), Luuk Bode (NL), Liu Liguo (CN), Luo Zhenghong (CN), Wan Liya (CN), Ewout van Rijn (NL), Norman Trapman (NL), Florentien Haak (NL), Jos Hachmang (NL), Vincent de Pater (NL), Walton Ford (USA) en anderen.

sept 2009: exhibition ‘Silent Pictures’ , opening reception september 10 (6-9 pm).

James Gallery’s Silent Pictures Explores the Nonverbal Power of Comics

Inspired by and Featuring Works from Art Spiegelman’s Personal Collection

Silent Pictures, running from September 1 through October 11 in the James Gallery, will focus on aspects of comic book structure and depend on words to advance an image sequence. The exhibition is inspired by artist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Art Spiegelman’s personal collection of wordless comics and graphic novels — mostly black and white rare artist books from the 1930s. The show will feature a selection of these books, as well as more recent “abstract comics,” and a related film program — all of which investigate essential qualities and aesthetics of this hugely popular medium. (Pictured: Woodcut from David N. Holzman’sIn the Gulf, 1989.)

The James Gallery is located off the lobby of the Graduate Center at 365 Fifth Avenue (between 34th & 35th Streets). Hours are Tuesdays through Fridays, 12–8 pm, and 12–6 pm on Saturdays & Sundays. Admission is free; for more information call 212-817-7138 or visit http://www.gc.cuny.edu/events/art_gallery.htm An opening reception for Silent Pictures will be held on Thursday, September 10, 6-8 pm. The abstract comics, compiled by art historian and cartoon artist Andrei Molotiu for a just released anthology, Abstract Comics Fantagraphics Books, 2009), call attention to the formal mechanisms that underlie all comics. Where the earlier art collected by Spiegelman retains a narrative, often politically charged thrust, the comics gathered by Molotiu emphasize the dynamic graphics that lead the eye and mind from panel to panel, suggesting that these structural elements are fundamental to the emotional register of the medium. (Pictured: Andrei Molotiu, from The Panic, 2006) The exhibition will also feature a specially commissioned wall drawing by Renee French, a hand-drawn animated film by the British artist team Rachel Cattle and Steve Richards, and a new collaborative project for the Graduate Center’s Fifth Avenue lobby display windows by Gail Fitzgerald and Carl Ostendarp. (Pictured: Renee French, Untitled (Plank), 2009.) Silent Pictures In addition, Columbia University art historian and film scholar Noam Elcott will curate a related film program titled “Comic-Film-Strip.” To be installed in a small gallery-within-the-gallery, this program will feature mostly wordless, animated historic films, in which the frame-by-frame narrative parallels developments in the wordless comics that also emerged during the first half of the 20th century. “Comic-Film-Strip” will include selections of films by Emile Cohl, Walter Ruttmann, Norman McLaren, and Robert Breer, as well as a very early partially animated film by William Kentridge. Elcott will elaborate on “Comic-Film-Strip” in a public conversation to be held September 25, 6-7:30 pm in the Graduate Center’s Skylight Lounge.
