“THE CASTLE OF EAST” – A PHOTOGRAPHIC INSTALLATION

The Centre for Visual Arts “CBK Amsterdam” will move to its new premises early 2009. With the last exhibition at their current address, an old city mansion, Jan Theun van Rees will turn the entire building inside-out.

The photographic installation is an exploration for traces from present and pat users. Jan Theun van Rees himself is part of this past, since his first studio, as a beginning artist, was located in the basement of this building.

Photographs of different sites in the building have been installed in the attic, which is located right above the gallery space. Photographs taken from these small installations are displaced on large scale panels in the exhibition. The result is a layered portrait of the building, where the different spaces merge together into a kaleidoscopic view.
