This weekend: a double feature at the Toussaintkade in The Hague
Jan van Munster, Transformed Square, 2023, Galerie Ramakers | David Bade, Your body is a House, 2023, Galerie Maurits van de Laar
This weekend, you have the opportunity to catch two exceptional gallery openings on the Toussaintkade in The Hague: a captivating group exhibition at Galerie Maurits van de Laar and a grand jubilee exhibition at Galerie Ramakers, spread across two spaces.
Catalijn Ramakers in haar galerie
Catalijn Ramakers is celebrating a significant milestone this September: in 2024, her gallery marks its 30th anniversary. To honour this occasion, the gallerist has devised an ambitious plan. To celebrate the jubilee, she will showcase work from all of her artists — over thirty in total - across two locations on the Toussaintkade. The gallery will be filled with two-dimensional works, while the nearby Quartair space (at number 55) will feature three-dimensional pieces. This setup creates an engaging experience, guiding visitors from reality-bending paintings to sculptures that redefine how we perceive space. A charming backdoor route connects the two locations, adding a playful and adventurous element to the visit. Ramakers invites us to take a moment to slow down and truly absorb the art on display.
Nathan Henderson. Sorry Giotto, 2022, Galerie Maurits van de Laar
Meanwhile, just a few steps away, Galerie Maurits van de Laar presents a vibrant group exhibition featuring a dynamic mix of paintings, works on paper and sound works. The exhibition will showcase the work of David Bade, Nathan Henderson and Sebastiaan Schlicher and opens on Sunday 1 September at 4 PM. The artists will be in attendance, a unique chance to engage with them and learn more about their creative processes. Nathan Henderson creates a fascinating world for which he blends classical art history with the aesthetics of cartoons. His drawings, including a reinterpretation of a Renaissance annunciation scene, present familiar settings that are eerily contrasted with ghostly faces and robotic or plastic limbs. Sebastiaan Schlicher adds a unique dimension to the exhibition with his sound installation, "noisemachine A-dynamic mood shifter V1.0," alongside a selection of his works on paper. David Bade is known for his expressive sculptures and paintings, which often explore socially engaged themes. At Galerie Maurits van de Laar, he seems to offer a more personal and emotional approach, with works on paper featuring titles like "Your body is a House" and "Moodswings."
