6 march till 27 march 2010

‘Grow ups’ goes to Japan!

The exhibition ‘Grow Ups’ opened in Shizuoka, Japan on Saturday 6 March at the center for creative communications. An exhibition of eleven young Dutch artists whose work moves between mature art and childlike fantasy. Grow Ups will be opened by Ms Omori ( curator CCC ) and presented by curator Renée Reijnders. Before the opening Renée gave a lecture about the artwork and concept of the exhibitionassisted by a translator.

The title Grow Ups indicates that the art contains strong influences from the artists’ childhood and adolescence. Mature themes come together with visual references to toys, television cartoons, comic magazines and video games of American and Japanese origin.

Participating artists:
IRIS, Nanna Koekoek, Merijn Hos, Lennard Schuurmans, Pepijn van den Nieuwendijk/Cirque de Pepin, Ingrid de Lugt, Wayne Horse, Mark Verhaagen, Leendert Masselink/studio illurama, Bjorn Eulink, Manumanu

Parts of this exhibition were shown at CORROSIA! in 2008. On invitation of CCC the work is exhibited following a curational contest.

Grow ups is curated by Renée Reijnders. The accompanying text is written by art historian Marinus de Ruiter.
