Binnen of Buiten – de Betekenis van Grenzen en Begrenzingen (“(With)in or (With)out – The Significances of Borders and Boundaries”)

May 27, 2023 @ 8:00 am - June 23, 2023 @ 5:00 pm

From May 27 to June 20, the art space of the Milk Factory presents a group exhibition titled “(With)in or (With)out – The Significances of Borders and Boundaries” with a work by Brian Dickerson. Dickerson’s painting “Vroman” is structured from aggregated surfaces, rich with energetic brushwork, that envelope built-in elements. These constructed ridges create sharp shadows that change as the viewer’s gaze shifts from left to right, and from up to down. The raised edges act as bridges, buttresses and apertures that at once tip and balance as their silhouettes continuously change with the ambient light. Lengthening and shortening shadows invite meditation as the viewer dwells in the crevasses only to emerge again to travel nimbly between narrow ledges and mysterious angles. Though the paintings invite intimacy, Dickerson’s painting also spearheads a journey as vast as deserts as he engages with eternal questions of space and being.
The group exhibition in De Melkfabriek, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, ‘Binnen or Buiten – Boundaries and Limitations’, explores the boundaries of society from the artist’s point of view.
“We are on our way, yes, but everywhere we collide with boundaries: Boundaries set by others: physical, with customs control, high fences or sometimes even with landmines. Or we collide with limits in norms and morals. And, sooner or later we come up against limits that our body or mind encounters.”
Eighteen artists from eight countries show their vision in image or word. In addition to background and visual material by the artists, the accompanying book contains essays by 5 authors who approach the theme in different ways.
This exhibition can be visited free of charge between 13:00 and 17:00 in De Melkfabriek at Guldenvliesstraat 4H, 5211 AM in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
Vernissage: May 27, 2-5 p.m. Preview May 26 after 3 pm.
Van 27 mei tot 20 juni presenteert de kunstruimte van de Melk Fabriek een groepstentoonstelling getiteld “Binnen of Buiten – de Betekenis van Grenzen en Begrenzingen” met een werk van Brian Dickerson. Dickersons schilderij “Vroman” is opgebouwd uit geaggregeerde oppervlakken, rijk aan energieke penseelvoering, die ingebouwde elementen omhullen. Deze geconstrueerde richels creëren scherpe schaduwen die veranderen naarmate de blik van de kijker van links naar rechts en van boven naar beneden verschuift. De opstaande randen fungeren als bruggen, steunberen en openingen die tegelijk kantelen en balanceren terwijl hun silhouetten voortdurend veranderen met het omgevingslicht. Langer wordende en korter wordende schaduwen nodigen uit tot meditatie terwijl de kijker in de spleten vertoeft om vervolgens weer tevoorschijn te komen om behendig tussen smalle richels en mysterieuze hoeken te reizen. Hoewel de schilderijen uitnodigen tot intimiteit, vormt het schilderij van Dickerson ook de speerpunt van een reis zo uitgestrekt als woestijnen terwijl hij zich bezighoudt met eeuwige vragen over ruimte en zijn.
