Page Not Found now welcomes submissions to Open Letters: an open call for artists and writers in The Hague to occupy our large storefront with messages of urgency and vulnerability.

Open Letters gives artists room to publicly reflect on current times, despite the current restrictions and the lockdown of art spaces. Open Letters will be published in the front window of Page Not Found’s project space using vinyl lettering, which can vary in size, color and font type – however, the execution does not need to stay limited to just that and we invite artists to share their message in additional ways that seem fitting to the cause.

The published work will be given the audience of passersby of the lively Boekhorststraat. Artists will receive a fee of €500 and production will be taken care of by the team of Page Not Found. The next presentation will be unveiled in June 2021. Each presentation will last five weeks.

Deadline: 15 May, 2021

Only artists and writers who live or work in The Hague are invited to apply. Submissions will be reviewed by Page Not Found team and the selected artist/writer will be notified by the end of May 2021.

This open call is made possible thanks to the generous support by Stroom Den Haag, Mondriaan Fund and Gemeente Den Haag.

Page Not Found is delighted to invite you to an online talk by artist Marianne Vierø.

This event marks the fifth instalment of our Tangible Photography program, which started at the beginning of 2020 and was postponed due to the pandemic. The dematerialization of the image created for some artists with a photographic practice a desire for tangibility, that is: for a materiality accessible by touch. Publishing appears in this context as a natural strategy to answer this desire and to reinstate the photographic image in its materiality. This program presents a large selection of publishing practices to show the diversity of their approaches.

Marianne Vierø works with installation, sculpture and print. Driven by equal parts intuition and analysis she investigates existing premises in our systems of understanding. Taking inspiration from the structures of language her practice involves a continuous process of translation that places her work in a constant state of becoming. In her talk Marianne Vierø will tap into recent and current projects to consider objects, methods and gestures through the lens of transformation. She will also share her thoughts on a forthcoming publication co-published by Page Not Found.

Marianne Vierø studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam. She was a resident at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, 2008-2009; and at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin (D) in 2007. Selected solo exhibitions include ‘Figure Bold’ at Rita Urso Gallery, Milan (IT); ‘Dunk’ and ‘Great Transformation’ at Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Amsterdam (NL); and ‘Zeppelin Bend’ at PAKT, Amsterdam (NL). Her work is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Page Not Found is delighted to invite you to an online artist talk by artist, photographer and filmmaker Chloe Dewe Mathews.

This event marks the fourth instalment of our Tangible Photography program, which started at the beginning of 2020 and was postponed due to the pandemic. The dematerialization of the image created for some artists with a photographic practice a desire for tangibility, that is: for a materiality accessible by touch. Publishing appears in this context as a natural strategy to answer this desire and to reinstate the photographic image in its materiality. This program presents a large selection of publishing practices to show the diversity of their approaches.

Chloe Dewe Mathews makes work in the documentary tradition. Her practice explores the human relationship to landscape and the ways in which photography can project the past onto the present, allowing for time to be expanded and contracted and multiple narratives to be explored side by side.  In a talk for Page Not Found, she will discuss her bookworks, including “In Search of Frankenstein” and “Thames Log”.

Chloe Dewe Mathews is an artist, photographer, and filmmaker. Her work is internationally recognised, exhibiting at Tate Modern, Irish Museum of Modern Art and Staatliche Kunstsammlungen, Dresden; as well as being published widely in newspapers and magazines such as the Guardian, New Yorker, Financial Times and Le Monde. She is the recipient of the Robert Gardner Fellowship in Photography from Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, and her work is held in public collections such as the British Council Art Collection, the National Galleries of Scotland and the Irish State Art Collection.  Thames Log is her fourth monograph, following Shot at Dawn(Ivorypress, 2014), Caspian: the Elements (Aperture / Peabody Press, 2018) and In Search of Frankenstein (Kodoji Press, 2018).
