Censored pornography

It was a very crowded opening at De Service Garage yesterday evening. The exhibition is entitled 'Censored pornography – DOGtime's Teachers Exposure'. DOGtime is Gerrit Rietveld Academy's five years evening study programme. 160 students, 35 teachers, 2 departments: Fine Arts and Interaction Design/Unstable Media. Students always want to know what the teachers do and make, with this exhibition they show it all. (Exhibition until April 5.)

Excentric, Romantic, Swedish

Documentarista documents: Heyboer revisited by Dutch artist Jasmina Fekovic at Outline, Oetewalerstraat 73, Amsterdam. Fekovic (1976), invited by guest curator Francesco Bernardelli and who recently had a solo show at MuHKA in Antwerp, Belgium, is showing a new documentary-project around Dutch artist/excentric Anton Heyboer (1924-2005), best known for living together with four wives. (Opening: March 7, 17-19 hrs. Exhibition until April 4, 2009.)

Distinguished by the Swans by young American artist Erin Dunn at W139, Warmoestraat 139, Amsterdam. Using pastels and oil paint, airbrush techniques and holographic stickers, feathers and flowers, burning candles and impossibly dark crimson strawberries, fresh and wilted parrot tulips and a Dutch windmill fashioned from coloured pipe cleaners, Dunn (b. 1982) conjures up a cosmos that is Romantic in the true sense of the word. (Opening: March 13, 21 hrs. Exhibition until April 12, 2009.)

She Who Speaks, the first Dutch solo exhibition by Swedish artist Carl Johan Högberg (b. 1979) at Smart Project Space, Arie Biemondstraat 105-113, Amsterdam. Högberg is currently participating in the De Ateliers programme. (Exhibition: March 14 until May 3, 2009.)
