The London Police, 10 years later @ Go Gallery
The London Police will showcase their latest works at the GO Gallery on the 16th of May, 2009.
TLP began in 1998, when 2 Britsh geezers came to Amsterdam to cheer up the capital city, with their aerosol antics. Very soon "LADs" began to appear all over the Amsterdam, on Fuse boxes, scaffoldings and such.
Not only in Amsterdam did the "LADs" come to life. For the last 10 years, TLP has participated in exhibitions in 35 countries and been part of shows all over the globe with murals, pieces and various charitable activities. Their largest mural can still be seen in Kreuzberg, Berlin, on a 6 storey building. In Tiblisi, Georgia, they painted an orphanage along with the Hope Box. ( http://www.hopebox.nl/) A similar project has been planned in Kosovo. A couple of years ago, the TLP had a show in China for dogs. The paintings were exhibited at knee level complete with a collection of doggie clothing and toys.
Two of the founding members of the TLP, Chaz and Bob did a solo stint for a number of years, and since 2008 have made a re-combined effort with their individual talents and hence the show,which will travel the world over: The London Police, 10 years later.
After the first solo show at a very popular London Gallery, the GO Gallery is next in line to showcase the duos latest collection of artworks. Circa 10spectacular works combining the efforts of both artists will be on display at the Gallery on the Prinsengracht.
The Project "Every 20 minutes- a week long" , a photographic project which will also be on view during this show.
Preview:Friday evening until 8.00 pm.
Opening: Saturday, May 16th 2009,5.00 and 8.00 pm.
The show will be on diplay until the 21st of June.
Bioshock - Artists Anonymous @ Ron Mandos Gallery
Encroaching into every inch of the 350 square meter Galerie Ron Mandos, this latest installation will consist of an array of different surreal scenes: a wild wood, an overgrown garden, a down ‘n out cabaret, a surreal beach dinner setting. Each ‘room’ will be constructed from different technologies and media, combining personal details, art-historical references, internet and computer game imagery to create an other-worldy and unsettling environment where all is not quite what it seems. The collective’s newly created paintings, photographs and light-boxes will be seamlessly incorporated into these locations, forming points of visual interest within this sinister spectacle.
The ‘Bio-Shock’ installation directly references and comments on the artificial realities we increasingly inhabit today. Staged as a microcosm of chat rooms, social networking sites, computer games and even fantasy novels, the installation directly reflects and comments on these artificial locations that increasingly provide the context for our fulfillment and triumphs as human beings and to whose rules, conventions and boundaries we are more than willing to subjugate ourselves to.
Lftfld , As a collective we aim to promote Amsterdam cultural (night)life by publishing a montly magazine (LFTFLD Magazine), organizing events and parties on a regular base and broadcasting a local television programme called LFTFLD TV. With these means we focus on the more 'leftfieldish' artists, organisations or initiatives of Amsterdam. For this we were rewarded with (translated) the Amsterdam Night Culture Award, an award initiated by Amsterdam Dance Event and the 'Nachtwacht' (which is the official collective of Amsterdam Night Mayors).
