Pan Podium & Art Evening
Please note this event will be held in Dutch.
Breng samen met ons een bezoek aan de besloten Art Evening op kunstbeurs PAN, die exclusief toegankelijk is voor genodigden. Tijdens deze avond kun je niet alleen in gesprek gaan met met antiquairs, kunsthandelaren en galeriehouders maar ook ons programma op het PAN Podium bijwonen.
Om 19.00u gaat Young Collectors Circle in gesprek met Pieter ter Keurs, die onlangs het boek ‘Verzamelen. De drang om te bezitten’ publiceerde. We bekijken het verzamelen vanuit verschillende invalshoeken en generaties en duiken dieper in de motivaties van de verschillende types kunstkopers. Na afloop van deze panel talk heb je ruim de tijd om zelf de beurs te verkennen en samen met andere leden van Young Collectors Circle kennis te maken.
PAN Amsterdam is de beurs voor kunst, antiek en design. Jaarlijks laten ruim 45.000 bezoekers zich inspireren en verleiden door de vele duizenden kunstvoorwerpen die op de beurs aangeboden worden. Klassieke oudheid, oude meesters, fotografie, hedendaagse kunst, antiek, designmeubelen en objecten. Elk object wordt vooraf door onafhankelijke experts gekeurd op kwaliteit, echtheid en conditie.
Studio Visit: Marleen Sleeuwits
On Sunday 8 December, you have the chance to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into the studio of Marleen Sleeuwits in The Hague. The artist is currently working on an installation for the Fotomuseum Den Haag, inspired by Sol LeWitt’s "Open Cube" series. Her work will be on display at the museum from 18 January 2025, so we’ll get a sneak peek.
Marleen Sleeuwits is known for her captivating ways of playing with space, material and perception. She creates optical illusions and visual mind tricks that completely transform how you perceive your surroundings. She builds new realities and experiences that sit at the intersection of photography and sculpture. This studio visit offers a rare opportunity to witness her creative process up close. How does she peel back the layers of a space? How does she construct visual illusions and blur the boundaries between two- and three-dimensionality? The artist reveals how she tells new stories using everyday materials and environments.
