DOUBLE EXPOSURE(S)/ STUTTERS – solo exhibition by Dominique Hurth
We’re delighted to open Dominique Hurth’s first solo exhibition in the Netherlands. In 2014, Hurth encountered four boxes of cyanotype prints by Thomas W. Smillie, the first custodian and curator of the Smithsonian Institution’s collection of photography. In her artist book Stutters (Printed Matter, 2021), Hurth builds on several years’ research to rework the original cyanotypes into visual montage, sequencing images that provide a record of Museum life as it documents a ‘national’ collection in the making.
For her exhibition at Page Not Found, Hurth has developed a new installation that expands from her research and the material that created Stutters. The title refers to the photographic process of superimposition of two or more exposures on one image, and serves as a metaphor for the artist: as a way of looking at the history of the institution through the subjects of the photographs, and at the same time at the institution historicising its own history through the infrastructure of the archives.
Dominique Hurth’s exhibition is the first instalment of Mal d’Archive, the new public programme of Page Not Found, exploring the space between artistic, archival and publishing practices. This programme will span over several years and encompass events, exhibitions, workshops and residencies.
Dominique Hurth (1985, France) is a visual artist working with installations, sculptures and editions. Her work has been exhibited i.a. Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Fundacio Tapies, Barcelona; Memorial of Ravensbrück, Fürstenberg/Havel; Württembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart) and is part of several collections. She is the recipient of several awards and residencies such as the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2016-17) and Prize of the Berliner Senate / Governing Mayor of Berlin at ISCP, New York (2014).
DOUBLE EXPOSURE(S)/ STUTTERS opens on March 8, 7 pm. The exhibition is on view until May 8, free entrance. Made possible with the financial support of the Mondriaan Fonds and Gemeente Den Haag.

Double Exposure(s)/ Stutters— finissage conversations with Babak Afrassiabi, Ruth Noack and Dominique Hurth
Dominique Hurth’s solo exhibition “Double Exposure(s)/ Stutters” is on view through May 8.
To celebrate the ending of the exhibition, we are pleased to welcome you for the finissage and conversations between Babak Afrassiabi, Ruth Noack and Dominique Hurth addressing taxonomies of collection-making, sites of storage and artistic strategies within post-archives.
The public event takes place on May 8, at 18:00 at Page Not Found
Babak Afrassiabi (b. 1969 in Tehran) is an artist. Since 2004, he has worked in collaboration with Nasrin Tabatabai to produce Pages, a bilingual (Farsi/English) magazine. This has now expanded into many projects and exhibitions, defined mostly by their combinations of different media and materials, often brought together as a result of long-term research. Linking these works is an attempt to articulate the undecidable space between art and its historical conditions.The recurring question, especially in more recent works, has related to the technological and material place of the archive in defining this juncture between politics, history, and the practice of art.
Ruth Noack (b. 1964, Germany) is an author, art critic, university lecturer and exhibition maker since the 1990s, trained as a visual artist and art historian. Noack was curator of documenta 12 (2007). Exhibitions include Scenes of a Theory (1995), Things We Don’t Understand (2000), The Government (2005) (with Roger M.Buergel), a solo show of Ines Doujak’s work (2012), and Notes on Crisis, Currency and Consumption (2015). Ruth Noack has contributed to “Stutters” publication by Dominique Hurth.
Dominique Hurth (b. 1985, France) is a visual artist and publisher working with sculpture and installation, and within the relationship between sculptural and printed matter. Her works develop by means of archival research, journalistic investigation, writing, and material experiments, and it is by way of editing that the installation operates in the exhibition space. The strategy of replicating follows a reading of images, where the outcome is often concentrated in the relationship between sculptural work and printed matter. Hurth frequently publishes in the format of artist editions and pamphlets. Her editions often emerge from within her installations yet are not per se illustrating the works nor documenting them. In recent years Hurth investigated the physical manifestation and the performativity of a book.

The amateur feminist library, founded by Lara Dautun —is a space for encounters, revision, and negotiation, where informal research and collective knowledge production strive to enable the making of critical feminist herstories.
Bringing into the physical world a digital archive of feminist periodicals from the 1970’s-1980’s, this workshop invites everyone to become an amateur feminist librarian. Reading, arranging, discussing, rearranging, editing, cutting, pasting and writing together, we’ll discover which resonances they can have today.

Reading, arranging, discussing, rearranging, editing, cutting, pasting and writing together, we’ll discover which resonances they can have today. What can they teach us about collective and collaborative ways of doing? About the emancipatory potentials of publishing practices? About love, labor, friendship, anger and the beauty of shaky drawings and hand-drawn lettering? About the way feminist thoughts and practices evolved?
▫️« The materials are books, yes, but they are also spaces of encounter; how we are touched by things; how we touch things. I think of feminism as a fragile archive, a body assembled from shattering, from splattering, an archive whose fragility gives us responsibility: to take care. » Sara Ahmed, Out and About on feministkilljoys, February 2017▫️
