TweetSARAH MORRIS – MIDTOWN PAINTINGS: 1998–2001
2018-11-12The year is 1993: Sarah Morris, mid twenties, rents a studio between Times Square and Port Authority Bus Terminal on 42nd Street, a place, she says, where “urban decay and excess meet mainstream”. Drawn to explore the coded relationship she witnesses between people and architecture at this nexus of pornography and the corporate world, Morris records, surveys, absorbs fragments and particles of visual information: a flâneur’s view of the mapping of power. Embedded in New York’s real estate, redolent with the artist’s trespassing eye, the Midtown paintings and Morris’s first paradigmatic film, index the artist’s unique vision of the city and its future.
Fast forward twenty years—the Midtown paintings and the eponymous nine minute, 16mm film have become the visual distillation of Morris’s practice: precise, glamorous, de-familiarizing; portentous of dystopic futurism. Midtown is a harbinger of Morris’ series to follow, as the artist situated herself and her subject matter in the cities of Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Beijing, Rio, Abu Dhabi among others. The Midtown paintings and film are also prescient of a world on the cusp of change and equally of the artist’s role in relation to that.

TweetERIK VAN LIESHOUT – FREDDY’S
2018-11-12“The jury for the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Art has praised Erik van Lieshout’s work for its radical, personal and confrontational nature. In his unique, tragicomic style, Van Lieshout puts his finger on what ails society. His work never flags, continues to grow and is pure: he is not out to preach. He enters into dialogue with groups who others often give a wide berth: ghettodwellers, junkies, drifters, and right-wing or left-wing extremists. He raises questions about drugs, sex, violence and overregulation. There is no taboo or danger that Erik van Lieshout tries to avoid; on the contrary, he makes a beeline for them and tries to find a dialogue.” states the Jury Report of the Heineken Prize 2018.
As part of the grant, Erik van Lieshout decided to develop a new project that, in line with his practice, involves the production of a film encircled by collages of drawings and paintings and reflects on Heineken itself. The selection of works presented in The Bakery explores a more intimate, familiar side of the Heineken colossus. The many drawings realized during the film production often portrait Alfred Henry “Freddy” Heineken (1923-2002) himself, alone, with his daughter or with other family/colleagues, showing us the human face and relations behind the corporate façade.
