"Lens and Paper: the Loudon collection"
2001-02-10 until 2001-02-15
Gemeentemuseum Den Haag
Den Haag, , NL Netherlands

Lens and Paper offers a snapshot view of contemporary art today. The emphasis is on drawings and works made with the help of lenses: photographs, film and video. Guest curator Carel Balth has selected work by over 50 international artists from the Loudon collection.

His choice includes: drawings by artists such as René Daniëls (NL), Chris Ofili (GB) and Patrick van Caeckenbergh (B); photographs by Alicia Framis (S), Rineke Dijkstra (NL), Richard Prince (U.S.) and others; and films, videos and video stills by Mariko Mori (J), Pippi Lotti Rist (CH) and Marijke van Warmerdam (NL), to name just a few. His choice of works is inspired by the idea of 'the beauty of intimacy'. This intimacy can be experienced not just in the small-scale works but also in those of larger dimensions. The exhibition is accompanied by an English-language catalogue
