A famous painting hangs in the town hall in Breda, just outside the wedding rooms. It can be seen in the background of hundreds of photos that are taken right after the marriage ceremonies.
The artists Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum have called on the residents of Breda to search through their albums for such photos and to submit them for a large, joint exhibition. The result of the many submissions can be seen in Nieuwe Veste during the Breda Month of History.
On October 4, the artists Jaio and Van Gorkum will give a lecture in the Stedelijk Museum Breda. They will talk about their project that they are carrying out at the invitation of Witte Rook, in which they go in search of the backgrounds of the copies of the painting by Velázquez. The lecture in the auditorium is accessible with a ticket for the museum. Monique Rakhorst, curator of old art at the museum, will be present at the lecture to provide a historical perspective on the painting.

- Exhibition in the Nieuwe Veste, Molenstraat 6, 4811 GS Breda.
October 4 3:00 PM:

Welcome to the fifth edition of the Groot Rotterdams Atelier Weekend (GRAW) on September 21 and 22, 2024!
Many years ago, we explored the ruins of an abandoned porcelain factory. Under a thick layer of soil, vines and weeds, we discovered the original plaster molds from which the tableware was cast. After carefully cleaning and drying the molds, we tried to put them back into production.
Would you like to see the results? Come and visit our studio in the weekend of September 21 and 22, at Ackersdijkstraat 20, in Rotterdam.

Tenemos el honor de anunciar nuestra participación en Ten Thousand Suns, la 24ª edición de la Bienal de Sydney, comisariada por Inti Guerrero y Cosmin Costinas. La Bienal nos ha encargado la producción de una nueva serie de esculturas para la instalación Bandera Falsa.
Estas esculturas están inspiradas en los aviones de combate surrealistas pintados por René Magritte en 1937 en reacción al bombardeo alemán sobre la población civil de Guernica. Se mostrarán junto con un vídeo en el que el paisaje montañoso que rodea Guernica juega un papel principal.

"Atlas of a Paper Empire" will be on display in the exhibition 1 SQUARE METER by the 004-collective, at Borgerstraat Studios 2-4 February 2024. This work was produced for the San Telmo ethnographic museum in Donostia-San Sebastian in 2022, and became part of its collection afterwards. It consists of a computer program that animates random trajectories through ultra-high definition digitized images of the museum's archive of antique maps, which are then projected onto a handbound volume filled with empty pages.

La plataforma de arte contemporáneo Witte Rook, junto con el Stedelijk Museum Breda invita a la pareja artística formada por Iratxe Jaio y Klaas van Gorkum ha investigar los vestigios de la historia compartida entre Holanda y España.
Su proyecto toma como punto de partida tres copias del cuadro “Las Lanzas” de Diego Velázquez: una realizada por Kees Maks en 1903, otra por Frans Hogerwaard pintada en 1912 y la tercera pintada por Fernando Coll en 1931.
A pesar de que a primera vista las imágenes que representan son muy similares entre sí, cumplen funciones muy diferentes. Al centrarse en estas diferencias, los artistas esperan arrojar luz sobre la fluidez de estas imágenes y las diferentes narrativas, a veces contradictorias, que sustentan.

La instalación Bandera Falsa formará parte de la exposición Lo que nos queda por hablar en el Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos de Santiago, Chile. En el marco de los 50 años del golpe de Estado en Chile, esta muestra propone un despliegue de narrativas alternativas, diálogos y reflexiones sobre la memoria de la dictadura civil-militar chilena y de la dictadura franquista española, a partir de obras de artistas contemporáneos/as de ambos países. La exposición se piensa como una caja de resonancia donde los elementos del presente, del pasado y la prefiguración del devenir reverberan en un complejo entramado que interpela nuestra propia configuración de mundo y remiten a seguir accionando desde nuevos espacios de sentido.

Together with students of the new Master in Practice and Theory in Contemporary Arts and Culture at the UPV/EHU and Azkuna Zentroa, we have worked on the contents of a Time Capsule that will remain sealed for a thousand years.
It contains artefacts of the present, selected by Xabier Barrutia Abalia, Miren Bayona, Ekain, Paula Cárcamo Carrera, Victor Díez Bildosola, Juanita Puñales, Sabin Fígaro, Koldo Gutiérrez, Edurne Iriondo Plaza, Arantzazu Luzarraga Iturrioz, Lucía Meyiro, Iñaki Olarra, Alfredo Olarra, Jesús Mª Platón Cabello, Manuela Varona, Kaizen Vegas and Juan Viedma Vega.
A detailed inventory of its contents has been created to leave a record of its existence outside the box. In this way, participants reflect on their role as authors in the transformation of cultural codes over time and on the relationship between object, image and text.
This inventory will be on display during Prototipoak, Biennial of New Artistic Forms in Azkuna Zentroa, after which the Time Capsule will be sealed and hidden in a niche of the atrium of the building.

It contains a selection of objects gathered by students of the Master in Practice and Theory in Contemporary Arts and Culture at the UPV/EHU and Azkuna Zentroa.
