The Death of Modernism

An exhibition by Ben Kruisdijk and Conny Kuilboer, featuring individual works and work made in collaboration.

The exhibition will be opened by Josien Beltman, Coordinator documentation / librarian at Rijksmuseum Twenthe.

The opening will also host a New Years Drink Party.

We hope to see you there!




The Shock of the New

Ben Kruisdijk en Conny Kuilboer zijn kunstenaars in een Postmoderne tijd, voor hen is er geen sprake meer van duidelijke opeenvolging van stromingen, zoals in het Modernisme.
Het lineaire vooruitgangsbegrip, dat aan het Modernisme ten grondslag lag, heeft hier plaats gemaakt voor een gelijktijdigheid en zelfs bonte mengeling van stromingen en stijlen zonder duidelijk toekomstperspectief.

Mede hierdoor voelen zij zich vrij om te refereren naar stromingen van voorheen en daar vragen bij te stellen en kanttekeningen bij te plaatsen.

In de tentoonstelling 'The Death of Modernism' gaan Kruisdijk / Kuilboer in op het idee van het Avantgarde en 'The Shock of the New' binnenin beeldende kunst.
Dit doen zij met een licht humoristische beeldtaal die ook ironisch en melancholisch opgevat kan worden.

Conny Kuilboer has been granted the opportunity to study at the HISK in Ghent, Belgium.

The Higher Institute of Fine Arts (HISK) organizes postgraduate education in Flanders in the field of the audiovisual and visual arts. It provides approximately twenty-five young artists from Belgium and abroad with a studio of their own for the duration of two years along with specific, tailor-made guidance.

At the HISK, emphasis lies mainly on individual practice with an international focus. The visiting lecturers are crucial.
Artists, curators, critics and theoreticians pay individual studio visits at regular intervals. There are also frequent visits to significant art events and lectures, seminars and workshops are provided. The HISK also offers technical facilities and production opportunities.
Thanks to the unique HISK concept, the participants are given every opportunity to invest in critical research of their work in order to situate it within a broader artistic, cultural and societal context.

At the end of the two-year working period, the participant receives a certificate of ‘Laureate of the HISK’. The HISK is officially recognized as Higher Institute and is financed by the Flemish Community - Ministry of Education and supported by the City of Ghent.

Since 1997, 148 laureates have graduated from the HISK. The largest part of them are currently building up a successful professional career in the Belgian and international art world.
