Anne Ausloos and Jeroen van Westen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exhibition: Saturday 29\u00a0October\u00a0to Fryday\u00a0 23 December 2016,\u00a0 Location Galerie De Witte Voet
\nKerkstraat 135\u00a0 Amsterdam<\/p>\n

Opening concert*:\u00a0Sunday 6 November\u00a03 pm<\/p>\n

Gathering clay from the ground underneath their feet, Anne Ausloos (1954, Schoten, Belgium) and Jeroen van Westen (<\/strong>Beverwijk, 1955, Netherlands)\u00a0<\/strong>have been working on an in-depth research project for the past few years. In 2014\u2013\u201915 they produced the installation\u00a0\u2018Grenswereld\u2019 (Border world) as their first contribution to the program \u2018Balanceren tussen zoet en zout\u2019 (Balancing between fresh and salt) for The Bewaerschole.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The initial question was: where does fresh and salt (water) meet each other?\u00a0Salt water seepage has always threatened agricultural land and drinking water on the island. Global warming reinforces\u00a0the problems. For \u2018Grenswereld\u2019\u00a0Anne and Jeroen decided to start looking for the tipping point, the borderline between fresh and salt. \u2018Grondhouding’ (Fundamental), is the title of this second show on the changing balance between Fresh and Salt.\u00a0A few years ago, whilst walking through\u00a0Zierikzee,\u00a0a medieval town\u00a0on Schouwen,\u00a0Jeroen pointed Anne at a\u00a0green glaze on some of the\u00a0bricks\u00a0in\u00a0the walls of 15th-century houses.\u00a0Literature tells this is likely an incidental result of salt in the peat that fuels the kilns, or in the local clay the bricks are made of. Chance or deliberate? Is there a thin line behind which salt creates this beautiful shiny colors. That is, if it is salt that causes the \u2018glaze\u2019. The\u00a0initial question has become an extended investigation,\u00a0the artists\u00a0using multidisciplinary strategies to unearth information about a particular terrain and\u00a0its culture.<\/p>\n

Four distinct elements are important in our collaboration, explain the artists. Firstly, Anne Ausloos’s fascination for detail and need to pay close attention to the materiality of the clay is a kind of starting point. Secondly, Van Westen has a more philosophical approach and sees the wider picture, bringing in history, geography, geology and their relationship to the landscape and what lies beyond the immediate and prosaic. Thirdly, both approaches are, according to the artists, \u2018very sensorial\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0Ausloos and Van Westen \u2018relate to the world through their senses\u2019, they don\u2019t just look and touch but also listen and taste the terrain. Fourthly, they see their approach to the different clays and their in-depth, slow, appreciative research as a form of releasing the intrinsic qualities of a landscape. They produce knowledge, acquired and disseminated through the endless process of\u00a0observation, creating conditions, intervention, documenting, decision making and discussing the work. Examining what is fundamental is central to their work, as well as the idea that there is always an exchange of values, materials, concepts and ideas. The word \u2018fundament\u2019 means a number of things, one of which is \u2018an underlying ground, theory, or principle\u2019, as well as \u2018a terrain untouched by human hand\u2019; the ideal word to summarise the kind of philosophical\/aesthetic activity both artists are engaged in.<\/p>\n

The gallery shows not only bricks known as \u2018kloostermop\u2019, fired using mediaeval methods, but also photographs of the samples. It is hard to believe that these very detailed, visually arresting prints on Hahnem\u00fchle artists\u2019 paper are not actual objects. Photographed in a \u2018scientific way\u2019, printed on one metre wide paper, each image is \u2018a portrait of an individual landscape\u2019. Fire brings out invisible particular qualities of the clay, of which the brick will bear witness for centuries. This fascinating exhibition shows many research artefacts and transformations. Visiting is like physically and mentally entering a geological horizont. The answer to the initial question remains tantalisingly unanswered but here, we see the process and the relics of both artists’s urge for \u2018Diepgang\u2019 (in depth).<\/p>\n

*Composer Koos de Muinck wrote \u2018Diepgang\u2019 using the sounds of a dry brick in salt water as recorded by Jeroen and Anne, a piece for vibraphone (Niek Kleinjan) and accordeon (Ellen Zijm).\u00a0\u2018Diepgang\u2019 is a second piece written by Koos especially for Anne and Jeroen\u2019s research. \u2018Grenswereld\u2019 was the first, fresh and salt water sounds, on land and under water, plus base clarinet (Pedro Guridi).<\/p>\n
