    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.

    THE VÖLVA’S BESTIARY OF BEST FRIENDS – Book Launch with Rasmus Myrup and Sabo Day

    To celebrate Rasmus Myrup’s exhibition at our dear and near 1646, we are happy to invite you to discover his latest publication, in company of its prolific designer Sabo Day.

    In The Völva’s Bestiary of Best Friends we are introduced to characters from Danish folklore, Scandinavian history and Norse mythology. Making their first appearance as a series of sculptures by Myrup, the characters from this Bestiary are all seen through the lens of a Seeress – The Völva. She knows everything her folkloric friends have been through and will endure in the future. It’s a heavy burden: the workaholism of The Bog Lady, failed attempts by The Elven Girls to end the Patriarchy, Freya’s sob story, the sexual frustrations of The Stream Man and Hild’s inability to stop the war between her lover and her dad. In Myrup’s world, they have befriended each other across multiple spheres of fiction – if they don’t know each other, they at least know of each other.

    Whether they are embodiments of natural elements, misunderstood misses of myth or corporeal manifestations of counter-culture, these figures have all lived outside the realm of human civilization – but just like us, they have a knack for being unable to see the obvious ways they could fix their flaws and save themselves. The Völva’s lips runneth over with scaldingly hot takes and reads her friends probably can’t handle – so she writes them down. To clear the visions from her retina, she draws them. She is not a tattletale, she lets destiny run its course – but in one book she unleashes her pent up load of sticky secrets: The Völva’s Bestiary of Best Friends.

    We welcome you on 21 March, 19:00. Free entrance.

    Blurred waters: ambient explorations through river landscapes – listening session and talk with Kristoffer Kjærskov (EOM)

    We welcome you to Blurred waters: ambient explorations through river landscapes, listening session and talk with Kristoffer Kjærskov (EOM). Page not Found invited Kristoffer Kjærskov to contribute to the program of rewire festival.

    Kristoffer Kjærskov (* 1984, Denmark) is a sound and visual artist. His practice intertwines investigations between locations and materialities, where found and processed fragments create bridges between experiences and are used as elements in new collages and assemblages. Through his sound project Economy Of Meaning (EOM), he works in a genre-bending field that explores techniques, moods and formats. In 2023, his LP album Site Seeing was released on the London-based label Calling Cards. The release is based on recordings from the landscape around Sharjah (UAE), where he was an artist-in-residence at the Sharjah Art Foundation in 2021. Currently, Kjærskov is a fellow at the Danish Institute in Rome, where he is working on a sound project centered around the Tiber River.

    In April, he will launch an artist book at the exhibition platform O-Overgaden in Copenhagen. Previously, Kjærskov has performed his music live at Iklectik Art Lab (London), Mayhem (Copenhagen), PAS (Berlin), Click Festival (Helsingør, DK), WestGermany (Berlin) and News Of the World Gallery (London, UK). His visual art has recently been exhibited at SIMIAN (Copenhagen) and Manifattura Tabacchi (Florence).

    For the listening session at page not found Kristoffer will be presenting his research centred around object oriented sound and ambient layers and perform pieces from his current projects. 

    The entry is free of charge.
