ACCROCHAGE
27.01.11 - 12.03.11
Group show with gallery artists: Kati Heck, Sven 't Jolle, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, Erik Van Lieshout, Angel Vergara and Leon Vranken
n May 2011 Stella Lohaus will terminate her gallery after 14 years of activity.
Bernd Lohaus’ death has clarified some matters and has been the driving force behind this decision.
The role of this gallery within the current artworld has been subject to considerable change. Stella Lohaus has not lost her belief in the necessity of the gallery as a place for experimentation, but has come to realise that it becomes ever more difficult to uphold that definition. In addition, communication and networking are increasingly taking over the emphasis that rightly belongs to the exhibitions and the artists’ oeuvre. This is an evolution which Stella Lohaus finds regrettable and one in which she, as a gallery owner, has no faith.
She will therefore express her artistic commitment in a different way. In a first period she will be engaged in Bernd Lohaus’ legacy, an oeuvre that is in need of the requisite care, of being inventoried and registered, if it is to remain vivacious. This alone is an intense occupation which cannot be reconciled with the manner in which Stella Lohaus carries out her gallery activity.
Stella Lohaus Gallery is present at the art fair ART ROTTERDAM from 9 to 13 February and has a solo presentation with Leon Vranken at the Armory Show in New York from 2 to 6 March.
The last project, sme.lst/svedFles von Jana Dahyn, Wolfgang Dehnbund ltd. u. Manfred Pernice will open on Thursday 17 March 2011.
