Opening: Thursday, December 11, 5:30–7:00 pm
After four successful editions, the fifth edition of the VDHP Video Biennial is now underway at Van der Helstplein Etalages in Amsterdam. Video works by fifteen artists are on display in twelve windows.
A mourning ritual, a dog’s gaze, a rebellious animation, a vanitas installation, a couple in a headlock, a sneaky peek, an animation in which mouths try to form words, an eternal thread, an abstract representation of a window in a mirrored cabinet, an animation of digital images, feet that scroll, hands that push a face into various shapes, objects thrown on a table, and a portrait of steaming sauna visitors.
Video art in public space, freely accessible, yet intimate thanks to its small size. You can walk by and pause for a moment, catch a glimpse of what’s happening behind the windows, or completely disappear into another world, right in the middle of the street.
Participating artists: Akmar, Danielle Alhassid, Ankabuta, Bhakti Bienemann, Nelleke Bosland, Anneke Bosma, Nynke Deinema, Henriëtte van ’t Hoog, Ine Lamers, Nils Muhlenbruch, Lies Neve, Anneliek Nieuwland, Astrid van Nimwegen, Inge Reisberman, Sam van Zoest.

Zu den Arbeiten von Henriëtte van ’t Hoog
Die Aquarelle von Henriëtte van ’t Hoog bilden einen faszinierenden Aspekt ihres Oeuvres. Ihr Aussehen auf einer Ebene zu beschreiben, ist relativ einfach. Viele bestehen aus asymmetrischen Reihen von Farbflecken, die in der Art ihrer Anordnung gesammelten Exemplaren von geologischen Gesteinen, Halbedelsteinen oder sogar in Musterreihen angeordneten Käfern ähneln. Sie vermitteln einen Eindruck von Taxonomien verwandter Formen. Doch bei näherer Betrachtung ist jede Aquarellform eine individuelle Meditation über Farbinteraktionen: wie Farbe mit einem deutlich dunkleren Rand auf dem Papier liegt, wie sich zwei Farben miteinander vermischen. Jede Form ist eine Variation der vorherigen. Dies ist eine der kreativen Strategien der Künstlerin, mit weniger mehr zu erreichen. Je nach Blick oder Blickwinkel auf ihre Arbeiten verschiebt sich die Wahrnehmung der Bilder, in die auch Gold- und Silberfarben aufgenommen sind, zwischen Transparenz und Undurchsichtigkeit. Man erlebt die Aquarelle nicht nur als Bilder, sondern auch als Ereignisse.

In June 2024, the Leiden-based EST art foundation organized the exhibition Export: Bulgaria 5 in Leiden, introducing works by Bulgarian artists to a new audience. This show marked a new phase in a long-lasting collaboration between EST and the Bulgarian art foundation nonsofia.
Half a year later, nonsofia shows work of Dutch artists in the exhibition Focus: The Netherlands. The selected artists are closely related to the history of EST and nonsofia. Although EST follows the common denominator of concrete art, all artists employ their own set of rules in their work. The exhibition is supported by the National Culture Fund of Bulgaria.
