Quintus Glerum
Christos Mavrodis
​​
During this year’s edition of Amsterdam Art Week, Josilda da Conceição is delighted to announce an engaging artist talk featuring both Christos Mavrodis and Quintus Glerum. This discussion will focus on their intricate collaborative process, which has played a pivotal role in the creation of their current exhibition. The talk aims to explore their unique creative styles and how they have woven their narratives into a cohesive artistic expression within the gallery space. Both of the artists connect in the vision of creating fictional characters that can be used as an extended voice of the self. Attendees can expect an insightful conversation that begins with an in-depth examination of their artistic journeys, illuminating how they arrived at this point of collaboration. Christos and Quintus will share the dynamics of their partnership, including the challenges and triumphs they experienced while co-creating the exhibition. They will discuss key moments of realization and connection that have allowed their approaches to intersect, fostering a rich dialogue that transcends their practices. Through this exploration, the artists will highlight the unifying themes and shared inspirations that have contributed to the emergence of their exhibition, showcasing the beauty that can arise when different artistic visions come together.

Nadim Choufi​
Josilda da Conceição proposes a solo presentation of Nadim Choufi, a Netherlands-based Lebanon-born artist. Primarily dealing with sculpture and moving image, selected pieces constituting the presentation explore various socio-political realities, non-normative desires, hybrid bodies and their position in global visions of progress and welfare. The booth brings together recent sculptural works from 'Skinned Chairs', 'Sand Curtain' and 'Diplomatic Bestiary' series, as well as pastel drawings under 'Anonymous Intimacy' series, as an autonomous storyboard installation pointing to Choufi's moving image practice, in the deliebrate exclusion of AV medium in this presentation. The sculptures take as their starting point the ways abstraction is utilised politically to construct the Middle East as a site of extraction and in need of outside interference, while the lands, stories, and communities they reference refuse to be abstracted.​

Booth D2​​​
​
Josilda da Conceição presents a duo-presentation of Juliëtte de Graaf and Aaron Harris, two artists mainly engaged in painterly medium. Juliette de Graaf's work is a curious exploration into the way materials communicate with their spectator and tap into their impulses. All works are part of a story, an unwinding story that depicts personal as well as art historical concepts.
Aaron Harris contributes a recent body of work from the series "Book & Sanitary Shop”, depicting household appliances and other utilitarian objects next to drawings of erotic nature.
Alongside the paintings of both artist, intimate sculptural works of de Graaf will be displayed in the booth.
The proposed duo presentation highlights the similarities and contrasts between two painters, and their distinct vocabularies of story-telling and documenting.

Ruben Raven​
Bart Stolle
Josilda da Conceição offers a duo presentation of Ruben Raven and Bart Stolle, simultaneously informed by the divergence and interjections of their unique practices. Aesthetically distant, their bodies of work find similar motifs and tropes as points of departure, utilising proximate artistic vocabularies, rooted in semiotics of manual and mechanical labor, natural and technological evolution and reproduction. Showcased pieces, canvases of contrasting painterly approach and mien, and ceramic contributions that index the agreed upon permanence of human-made tradition, acutely manifest the synergy between computational and artisanal. On one hand, the collaborative aspects of Raven’s practice, and on the other, Stolle’s long-term research in digital multiplication, stipulate the intricacies of authorship in contemporaneous times. The vegetations commonly portrayed by Raven, alongside his observations of every-day decorative or recreational objects, telling of their handcraft or factory-made origins, are confronted by Stolle’s geometric compositions of unit-based logic, formally drawing back to the early modernist idiom. The duo-presentation aims to instrumentalize the elemental, with its inherent push and pull between accuracy and inaccuracy.

Quintus Glerum​​
Through the course of media artist Quintus Glerum’s life he has tried to get a better understanding of himself by mirroring his image to that of machines. While our tools are created for a specific purpose, humans don’t have the same luxury. Why do I act the way I do and what am I supposed to do? What does it mean to be human and does it even make sense to ask these questions? Getting strangled in endless streams of recurring questions shaped through both conscious and unconscious actions caused Glerum to perceive life as a kind of natural information processing-system.
Comparison has become the strategy at the base of Quintus Glerum’s practice. He commonly takes human specific elements and portrays them through the simplified lens of a machine. The act of simplification results in comedic works that both question and highlight the strange relationship between humans and their tools. He applies his background in animation (graduated with honors in 2018) to play with different realities and hypothetical worlds. Since he finished his masters degree in media arts and technology (graduated with honors in 2021) his practice moves between both the virtual and physical space, but always focusses on shaping narratives.

Quintus Glerum
​
Josilda da Conceição joins the fair with a solo presentation of Quintus Glerum, a mixed media artist, who explores the boundaries between humanity and technology. He uses his background in animation in the digital and physical space to play with different realities and hypothetical worlds. Glerum’s work moves between the realms of virtuality and physicality, and thrives on all the processes which transform data into information. Amongst a vast array of devices used to set up his installations, Glerum’s main tool is the computer, while the extraction of data, and the processing, storing and displaying of information are key concerns. The comparison between human and machine is underpinned by a cognitive understanding, recognizing the peculiarity of being human in how we handle information. Glerum’s work offers situations to reflect on what it means to be human when our image is mirrored by the gaze of machines.

During this event, the artists Geraldo Dos Santos and Emre Özakat will host an artist talk. During the talk, they will briefly reveal their mutual interest in hauntology, and the role that their backgrounds and different investigations lead to their contrasting interpretation of hauntological themes. Geraldo Dos Santos will unveil his more esoteric and mystical approach, taking inspiration from traditional South American belief systems, whilst Emre Özakat will share his interest in digital ghosts, nostalgia and lost futures, paralleling their mystical and rationalist angles. The artist talk will be concluded with a Q&A session.
