January 11^th-February 21st 2015

Ruth Legg’s artwork explores the role of authenticity. Asking why we aspire to this specific quality and how our search for the authentic, both as artist and viewer is reflected in our choice of aesthetics, which change over time and with fashion. While she works predominantly with video, Legg also employs photography and installation as part of her practice.

Grace is at once a light-box, a sculpture, a poem and perhaps even a painting. It is a flirtatious invitation to engage with the artwork. Suggesting both the ability of an artwork to seduce and our expectation and desire for such a seduction to take place.

Legg is a British artist living and working in Amsterdam. She has a Masters degree from the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam and studied for a PhD in art practice at Goldsmiths College, London from 2009-2013. Her work has been exhibited across Europe.

SCHUBERTIADE

Mima Schwahn

24 mei -22 juni

A Schubertiade is an event held to celebrate the music of Franz Schubert.

During Schubert's lifetime, these events were generally informal, unadvertised gatherings, held at private homes. While in those years many Schubertiades included the composer's participation, this was not necessary, and they were sometimes held in places other than Vienna, where Schubert spent most of his life.

Schubertiades in early 19th-century Vienna were typically sponsored by wealthier friends or aficionados of Schubert's music. In addition to Schubert's music, they often also featured poetry readings, dancing, and other sociable pastimes. Attendees numbered from a handful to over one hundred. Schubert's friend Leopold Kupelwieser claimed to hold them on his own, writing, "I treat myself to a Schubertiade now and again".

Modern Schubertiades are more likely to be formal affairs, presented as concerts or festivals devoted to Schubert's music.
