11 Aug 2010: Before During After -Artist Talk and Book signing
6-8pm FREE at Contemporary Arts Center in the CAC cafe Houston
Before During After is a visual and literary exploration of how Hurricane Katrina has transformed the lives and work of twelve photographers. Five years in the wake of the storm, we discover Katrina's imprint on the creative expression of each artist. Adding depth to the pictorial representation, each photographer has written an intimate account of how Katrina changed his or her life, work and vision of the future. The photographers include: Eric Julian, Elizabeth Kleinveld, Rowan Metzner, David Rae Morris, Thomas Neff, Sam Portera, Frank Relle, Jen Shaw, Mark Sindler, Zack Smith, Jonathan Traviesa and Lori Waselchuk.

19 Mar 2010: Loosing Nature
The irresistible Denise Rosenboom is about to occupy the window gallery at the Bonairestreet. Maybe her talented paintings will shock the neighbors.
Denise Rosenboom (1979) imaging artist, paints and draws, she lives and works in Amsterdam. Her work tends to be somehow macabre, graphical and personal she is driven by anxiety and fear for unfulfilled dreams. Rosenboom creates an unrealistic world as she tries to escape the multiple choice society of our times. In her world there is no choice, because possibilities are infinite and that is why we have to face alarming though hilarious images.Meanwhile exiting testimony of her personal life.

02 Oct 2007: FRANCO FONTANA 1987 - 2007 POLAROIDS
New Polaroids arrived!
Photography, writing with light is certainly still magic, one click leads through mysterious cemistry to develop and realize an image. But Fontana doesn't restrict himself to just the image, he transforms it to something else, probably curious about other people's life, about moments that are never his, panorama's presumable real but felt differently, dreams that were dreamt by other people somewhere one has not been. Like Elias Canetti wrote what could be the motive of every artist: "Nobody resists without a borrowed life, our own is not enough".
There are landscapes in the mind that surpass those that casually could happen in front of our eyes and they are superior. They are made of so many of those things that we do not even know where and when and how: a book we read, or a song, the memory of a person or the wish to forget, an instant moment or a long run of years, Fontana, with his brilliant simplicity (apparent simplicity, as matters from the mind and from the heart appear in a complicate way) registers this and meanwhile gives space by suggesting to enable us to fill in with our own memories.from our times, with all our own fantasmagoria as everyone of us makes.

01 Nov 2006: Els Botman in stock
Els Botman - Photographer
To write and paint with light
My camera's are my pens, ink, brushes and pigments. With the light that shines on us both I try to allow my vision and feeling to give meaning to what life offers. Beauty and mystery, dreams and phantasies.
When I write and paint in my own way, I do so to unite reality and non-reality. To open doors to an expanding view. To merge movement, colour and form in an original way.
On my travels I stop in front of trees, landscapes and buildings, and of course people. Not to portray or manipulate them through the infinite possibilities of the medium of photography, but to represent them according to my way of seeing.

20 Aug 2006: History Arps & Co
Bernardus Arps ( 1813-1896) was typesetter,printer, founder of Arps&Son Printers, Royal Purveyers in Rottterdam. He started in 1860 in Culemborg, the next step was to move to Rotterdam in 1871 to the Great Market Square.
Typsesetter was a very humble profession at the time. The beginning of the profession he learned in Haarlem at the famous Johan Enschede & Sons Printers company.
The fascinating fact is that he had developped his own learning process as a co-working trainee, at first in Bruxelles and later in Paris. That were Christian bookprinters. There is a European workpermit from this episode with his name and accompanied with an invitation letter from the printer in Paris stating he should come to France and work with them, on the condition that he would be a good and Christian young man. Already in those days there was a political hesitation in allowing working class people travel to other countries, as they might lose their job and decay to begging and would need the social care of the hosting country. (one can notice that there is not much changed in the last two centuries).
Bernardus 1 married at the age of 22 with Elisabeth Zweeres (28)and first settled in Haarlem.Their only son, also named Bernardus (2) was born in 1836. He married with Catherina Pardij. See:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardus_Arps
My great grand parents got 7 children.They all lived in Rotterdam.
My grandfather William Arps started an Art-Gallery, annex Printers in the Nobelstraat 4 in The Hague togehter with his sister, Jet Arps. The grand opening was in 9 november 1902. This was the reason to name the gallery Arps&Co.They also became Royal Purveyers.
Jet Arps was a talented painter and designer. She finished the Royal Academy of Arts in 1900, she never married.The artgallery brought many equisit articles on the market, and also the oil-paintings of their famous brother Bernardus Arps (3), member of the Dutch School. Bernardus Arps has studied at the Academy of Rotterdam, where he was assigned a silver medal for drawing. Later he studied in Delft, with the master A.le Comte. After a long working period as a typesetter at his fathers printíng company, he left the city of Rotterdam to live in Arnhem in 1893 where he stayed till 1898. Het lived 15 years in The Hague. He became a member of the Pulchri Studio.
My grandfather married in 1910 at the age of 31 with Frederica Hoekstra.(24), a referend’s daughter from Friesland who had gone through a terrible period of loosing both her parents and three brothers.
The gallery Arps&Co offered them an extreme interesting period of life, in the middle of the The Haugue establishment. Though financially they didn’t do very well in the crisis episode (the 30th) and 3 of their children went to the Indies to try to earn their own living, none of them comming back from the second world war. That is how my father took over the Arpsgallery in 1953, by that time changed into a stationary shop, annex printer, still Royal Purveyers.
