Klaas Gubbels and Christian Ouwens have made a unique selection from Gubbels' oeuvre for the exhibition 'The difference of the same'. This exhibition is a reflection of Gubbels' extensive work and also bears the same name as the recently published monograph. This was published by Christian Ouwens Galerie and nai010 publishers and presented on January 22.
A diverse group of creative people was approached for this overview book, all of whom were equally enthusiastic about making a contribution. K. Schippers, Sara Berkeljon, Adriaan van Dis, Cherry Duyns, Benjamin Herman, Dirk Jan Postel, Bianca Stigter and Niña Weijers, among others, have each shown in their own way what Gubbels' work means to them. The book contains more than 300 pages of Gubbels' most iconic works. Based on the final selection of works made by Christian Ouwens, graphic designer Irma Boom started designing this week.
In addition to the regular edition, a limited screen print of 88 copies has been issued, based on the painting 'The difference of the same'. This screen print is personally numbered and signed by hand by Klaas Gubbels and published by Christian Ouwens Galerie.
