Press release
Exhibition: ?Receive Life Changing Information?
From 16 January to 8 February 2009, the exhibition entitled ?Receive Life Changing Information? will be on display in Kunstencentrum DeFKa in Assen. The exhibition presents work by four students of MFA Painting at the Frank Mohr Institute in Groningen. At 4.30 p.m. on Thursday 15 January, the exhibition will be officially opened by Sicko Heldoorn, Mayor of Assen.
The title of the exhibition, ?Receive Life Changing Information?, is derived from American television adverts. Mina Minov and Julie van der Scheer spent last semester in New York and Philadelphia. The work that they produced there is on show in the exhibition.
Besides the work of Julie van der Scheer and Mina Minov, the exhibition also presents work by Ron Amir and Larissa van Zanen.
The Frank Mohr Institute in Groningen teaches the advanced programme of the Academie voor Beeldende Kunst en Vormgeving (School of Fine Arts), of the Hanzehogeschool Groningen, and works in close co-operation with the Faculty of Art History of the University of Groningen and Hunter College, City University of New York.
Julie van der Scheer:
In Philadelphia, I paint over photos that I take of the surroundings. I paint curtains and backdrops over the spaces on A4 photocopies. Most copies are black-and-white, a few are colour. Some photos show people. Now it looks like they are walking through a decor. Sometimes the space itself becomes a backdrop, sometimes it seems as if a transparent curtain has been suspended in front of the spaces. I paint with casein tempera and allow the paint to flow from light to dark in the brush so that I can apply it with one single stroke.
Date: 16 January to 8 February 2009
Opening: 15 January, 4.30 p.m.
Location: Kunstcentrum DeFKa, Vaart NZ 2, 9401 GM Assen
Theme afternoon: 'New York State of Mind?'
A 'New York State of Mind?? theme afternoon will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m on Sunday 8 February. This theme afternoon fits in with and rounds off the exhibition, and is a precursor of another DeFKa project later this year. On this Sunday afternoon, one of the exhibitors, Mina Minov, talks about his experience as an art student in New York, which celebrates its four-hundredth anniversary this year. Admission is free.

1st-year student MFA Painting Larissa van Zanen presents in Het Langhuis in Zwolle four large paintings and a few collages.
In her work, Larissa van Zanen feels attraction to chaos. Chaos forms a contrast to the order around Larissa, which is a little bit oppressing for her. The work of Larissa shows the relation between order and chaos. It results in an exposition which exists of organic, complex, fragile and energetic objects of art.
