ERWIN OLAF – STAGES
2024-10-14Erwin Olaf, Stages, is a exhibition of key series centered on the concept of performance, a recurring theme in the artist’s four-decade career.
Stages includes Olaf’s 1980s documentation of Amsterdam’s gay and nightlife scenes, highly produced series such as Hope (2005) and Grief (2007) that dramatize social norms, and ongoing engagement with dance. These tableaux — whether occurring on a social stage, theatrical stage, or studio set— portray beautiful but not necessarily camera-ready moments, often lit by a flash of unscripted emotional experience.
Opposite – The Board Room, 2004
