Ron van der Ende – Markers
Julian Rosefeldt – In the Land of Drought & Deep Gold
January through February 2020 Ron Mandos Gallery in Amsterdam will show ten new perspectivist wall sculptures made from salvaged wood by Rotterdam based sculptor Ron van der Ende. The bas-reliefs were produced over a period of five years and are on display now for the first time.
The core of the exhibition is a rendition of five archeological finds from the soil of Rotterdam. Other subjects are landscapes, a truck covered in soap, a tribal mask, and a lambs rib. Each was chosen to mark the stages in an epic obstacle course designed to find new modes of expression.
Opens on Saturday January 11, 2020; 5:00 p.m – 7:00 p.m
Runs 11.01 through 15.02.2020. Open wed – sat, 12.00 – 18.00 and by appointment
Galerie Ron Mandos, Prinsengracht 282, 1016 HJ Amsterdam
