Aurélien Villette, Expo ‘WAR SILENCE’, 6 until 30 August

OPENING CEREMONY: 6 August 2022 3:00 pm, Hooglandse Kerk, Nieuwstraat 20, Leiden and afterwards in Galerie Zône.

Photo exhibition in support of Ukraine.

The ArtEcho Foundation, together with its partners, organizes the photo exhibition ‘War Silence’ by the famous French photographer Aurélien Villette. The exhibition will take place from 6 to 30 August 2022 in Galerie Zone in Leiden. This exhibition is the 30-year link of notorious acts of war in Georgia and Ukraine, both initiated and perpetrated by Russia. An echo of human suffering resounds in both conflicts.

In 2016, during his world tour on the eastern Black Sea coast, the French photo artist and architectural photographer Aurélien Villette stopped in Abkhazia (Georgia), which has been occupied by Russia since 1993. As a professional photographer, he created hundreds of photographic works for the ‘Topophilia’ (‘Abandoned Places’) series, 12 of which were exhibited at the Georgian National Museum in 2018. This brilliant photo collection is now coming to Leiden.

With the exhibition ‘War Silence’ as a guide, war disasters from the past and the present are linked, first in Georgia (1992 and 2008) and now, 30 years later in Ukraine (2022). The photo artworks will be sold during the exhibition and one photo artwork will be raffled during the opening ceremony. The prices vary between € 1800 and € 2500. Interested visitors can buy a ticket for € 30. Part of the income is transferred to GIRO 555/Ukraine.

Aurélien Villette lives in Paris. Traveling is an opportunity for him to gain a better understanding of the world, humanity, different cultures and beliefs. Aurélien Villette visited about 70 countries to discover new societies and gain new impressions that shape his perception of the world. ‘Space of Spirit’ is Aurélien Villette’s bestselling photo album.

ArtEcho Foundation is a small ambitious foundation established in 2009 in the Netherlands. Since that year, the foundation strives to build bridges between Western and Eastern European countries by organizing special cultural events. In 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2017, the foundation let the city of Leiden, Keukenhof and Texel taste the voices, dances, colors and flavors of Georgia. In 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Georgian public could enjoy Dutch art, including films, drawings, paintings and photographs by Dutch and French artists, such as Gerrit van Dijk, Cilia van Dijk, Erwin Olaf and Aurélien Villette.

Velowa, 1 to 30 July

The work of this young artist can be seen on our walls in July. Velowa currently mainly works with glass, formed in the glass kiln.

In her work you always find the intangible. The multiple dimensions and the vast universe are subjects that are difficult to comprehend and that fascinates her. Explosions in the universe, dark matter, the amount of dimensions that exist and how they relate to each other and to us. She dreams about it and tries to give herself and the viewer more clarity about these subjects by making these works.

You are welcome at the opening on Sunday 3 July from 2 p.m.
Her work can be admired in the gallery throughout the month.

Anna Rotteveel makes made-to-measure clothing with a lot of expertise.
She attaches great importance to a good fit and a good finish.
I also like to apply graphic decorations by means of applications, hole patterns or [gold] embroidery.
Usually she works on order but in the gallery there are also some examples that you can attract. But she lovingly improves the fit for you. In the last few years she also makes a lot of hats and caps,
especially to draw attention to the local Green Heart wool.
A visit to her own studio is also possible and not far away in Rijpwetering.

Tom van Teijlingen

Who are you?
Tom van Teijlingen, web designer in my own company TastyMouse.

Where are you from/ where were you born?
Leiderdorp, 100 meters outside Leiden. Now I live in Amsterdam.

What do you make (and how do you make it)?
I design and develop websites. First I discuss with a client what the purpose of the website is and what look it should have. Then I make a proposal for the structure, what to put on it and how to divide it over pages, and a sketch design for the design. If we agree on this, I create a website using Content Management System such as WordPress and translate the design into code.

How did you get on this path / what kind of education do you have?
I did a course ‘multimedia and internet’ after visiting the art academy.

what is your inspiration?
The conversation with the client and the nature of the company/activity.

do you do other paid/unpaid work?
I also make prints of abstract photos on a large format inkjet printer. Philosophy is my main inspiration.

how did you get the gallery zone?
Via Frida van der Poel for whom I made a website earlier. And I knew Zône from the beginning when I was still involved in De Klos.

Do you want to say something else?
I think it’s very good that a collective shop like Zône exists. Bravo!

Maker: Mark Flipse

who are you?
My name is Mark Flipse and I live in Leiden with my wife Marianne and two daughters Simone and Tess. And not to forget, our four year old labrador, Otis.

where do you come from/ where were you born??
I was born in Meliskerke, a small village near Middelburg.

what do you make, and how do you make it?
I make WASTE LAMPS. That is, I make lighting based on material that other people no longer need or want. These are objects such as thermos flasks, jerry cans, old heaters, broken televisions…..and so on.
Then I also make lamps from paper pulp and salt. For these I use old paper such as pizza boxes, egg boxes, or used files, which I put into a food processor together with warm water and salt. The resulting pulp I then put into a mould, which is usually something like a plastic lampshade, and after drying for three to four weeks the lamp is ready.
From old foam mattresses I make lamps especially for use in bedrooms. As foam is porous light can shine through it and this gives a warm and diffuse effect.

how did you end up on this path, what training do you have?
After secondary school I studied at the Royal Academy of Art in Gent, where I received my propadeuse in graphic design. After that year I switched studies and went to Amsterdam where I studied psychology, finally graduating as a Neuropsychologist.
At the same time I remained active as an artist in various disciplines such as painting, sculpture, and photography. In 2011 I went back to art school this time enrolling at The Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. There I followed the part-time course in interior architecture and furniture design.
In 2015 I finished the course and since then I have been working in my studio in the Haagweg 4 complex

what inspires you?
I am inspired by the material itself and am always looking for ways to use it other than the way it was meant for. Through this process surprising things develop, partly recognizable yet at the same time new.

do you do any other paid or unpaid work?
I am inspired by the material itself and am always looking for ways to use it other than the way it was meant for. Through this process surprising things develop, partly recognizable yet at the same time new.

how did you find Galerie Zone?
Via my studio neighbour, Mathilde Zijp. She said I should have a chat with Frida, so that’s what I did. I feel that my lamps fit in really well with the work of the other people in the gallery, and it is really nice to have more contact with customers by being part of the gallery!

would you like to say anything else?
I think that’s fine. Stay well everyone!

Exhibition Vivavilt, 2 to 31 January

Opening 5 January at 14:00

 

Textiles are very important in an interior. It gives warmth and atmosphere to a room and also has a positive influence on the acoustics and climate. A personal tapestry will give a room a special appearance. Vivavilt is a company that designs wall panels/cloths for business premises and private individuals, according to the wishes of the customer.

I call these tapestries ‘woolscapes’, landscapes made of wool. In my designs I allow the originality of each breed of sheep to be expressed. Each breed has its own specific wool and colour nuances. By seeing them next to each other, you get a beautiful overview of the breeds and the different coats. The coats come from the Netherlands, France and the United Kingdom.

Wall of Future, new talent in Zône

The hopeful name: Wall of Future is now becoming part of the list of Leiden traditions.
In November, for the third time, Galerie Zône offers a platform to newly graduated talents: shoe designers, ceramists, carpenters and textile artists from various academies. In this special exhibition, they will present their masterpieces. Perhaps the first step towards success. Perhaps visitors to Zône will come across an artist who will have become a big name in a few years’ time!

What can the public expect? Particularly exorbitant, yet wearable shoes from the Dutch Shoe Academy Utrecht. On the wall textile work from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague; furniture from the Wood and Furniture College Amsterdam/Rotterdam and surprising ceramic objects from the Dutch Ceramics Academy Gouda.
Their work fits well in Galerie Zône.
Zône was in the news this year because the Vereniging voor Toegepaste Kunst (Association for Applied Art) – with the support of many! – was able to buy the building on the Nieuwstraat in which she has been located for more than 27 years. The gallery is run by members themselves, experienced artists and self-producing designers of applied arts. They know only too well that ‘real life’ only begins after graduation.
Only craftsmanship – making beautiful, unique, useful things – is not enough. How do you reach your audience? How can you build an existence with it? With the exhibition, Wall of Futere, Zône wants to help you take the first steps.

The third edition of Wall of Future starts on 3 November and is open to the public during the gallery’s opening hours. On 24 November, the exhibition will be festively closed with a finissage. The work of the ceramists can still be seen until 8 December.
