Find us at @supermarketart 23rd-26th April We will presenting the ‘Schizophonic Archive Collective’ by @malougistics and ‘One More Time with Feeling (!)’ by @bark4kisses — One More Time with Feeling (!) (2017-2020) By Karin Iturralde Nurnberg Is a series of videos that start with the prompt: << I really like what you just did. Could you please do it again for me to film it? >> Re-enacted scenes, movements or situations performed by people that Karin encounter’s in her day-to-day life across different cities in Europe and Latin America. These actions she finds touching, absurd, strange or stereotypical of life in western infrastructures; for some reason they call her attention. To make the videos she first let the actions end, then she approaches whoever was doing the action with a description of their recent moves, like a script, and ask them if they’d like to perform it again for her to film it. Sometimes she suggests a slight change and direct the film. Sometimes they do. 📸: Still from video Your brother laid relaxed on the floor of the supermarket.

Star Me Up | a closer look Old mattresses, upside down floor tiles, fireworks remains and a falling-apart sun blind are some of the materials that came together in my one day studio exhibition. These objects all hold traces of their past use; textures, residues, and intimate details of bodily presences. I’m drawn to these overlooked, worthless, dirty, damaged or even repulsive materials because of their ability to reveal the fragility of life, and the suggestive qualities they contain. To me, they are all carriers of meaning and I use them to reflect on the passing of time, consumption, value-making, death, decay and care. Through carefully arranging, shaping and repurposing these objects, I invite the viewer to consider them differently, drawing attention to how value, meaning, and purpose are constructed in a world where sustainability and conscious care have become urgent.

Star Me Up | Installation shots from my one-day studio exhibition at @willie_creative_space Over the past three months, I’ve been working in the Willie Project Space, exploring the traces we leave behind. Old mattresses, floor tiles, dead plants, and fireworks found their way into the studio, becoming part of sculptures and installations that reflect on material, use, and value. Last Sunday, I presented this work in a one-day studio exhibition, the final day in the space before I move to Finland for my next residency. It was great to see visitors engaging with the work, moving through the materials and installations, and noticing everyday objects in a new context. Thank you to everyone who came by, for taking the time to explore the work and the space, and for sharing thoughts. I also want to thank Willie for hosting and supporting this project over the past months. It’s been a great place to develop and experiment 🤍 #sarabjarland #artexhibition #contemporaryart #installationshot #willie

The book Groundwork by Sara Bjarland has the power to capture a feeling some of us felt when moving to Amsterdam. We asked her to tell us about this photo collection of objects found on the street and their relation with her sculptural work.

Star Me Up - one day studio exhibition by Sara Bjarland
 Date: Sunday 8th of February, 15-19h Location: Willie Project Space, Schellingweg 15, Zaandam.
 For the past three months, Sara Bjarland has worked in the project space at Willie. Before moving out, she will present her work in a one day studio exhibition on Sunday 8th February.
 Sara is interested in the material traces that we leave on the planet. In her sculptures and installations, she uses discarded objects to reflect on issues like overconsumption and pollution, death, decay and care. While working at Willie, old mattresses, floor tiles, dead plants and firework remains have found their way into the studio. Sara treats these objects with care and attention, viewing them as carriers of meaning which can reveal something essential about how we live and the fragility of our existence. By including these worthless materials in her work, she also reflects on value-making and the backside of consumer society. Sara Bjarland is a Finnish-Dutch artist based in Amsterdam.

Happy holidays! VZL’s focus in 2025 was on promoting WILLIE Creative space along with its artists. In 2023 Van Zijll Langhout / Contemporary has founded WILLIE located in a business park in Zaandam as a creative incubator with space for four artist studios with an exhibition space. Currently working at Willie four young artists: Dagmar Bosma, Karin Iturralde Nurnberg, Malou van der Veld and Joppe Venema. As the year draws to an end, we are proud to look back to beautiful shows by guest artists at WILLIE and works created in the studios of WILLIE by the artists which were displayed at fairs in 2025. Thank you to everybody who joined us this year. @tuff_n_tender @bark4kisses @malougistics @joppevenema @nap.plus @williewilliestudio @artislandamsterdam felix keslassy @vrastor_ @_rachelleepearl @willie_creative_space photo 1 en 2) At NAP+ 2025, VZL presented works by Dagmar Bosma, Karin Iturralde Nurnberg, Malou van der Veld and Joppe Venema.

This Saturday was the Sybren Hellinga Keunstpriis exhibition at Kunsthuis SYB. We are so proad Karin Iturralde Nurnberg is one the five nominees. Karin Iturralde Nurnberg created a homely space to rest and dream, she asks: what can arise in vulnerable moments? For example, at the immigration office, at customs or during an eleven-hour flight home? Karin is interested in how playfulness can enter these situations. It was a festive opening with a drink and a bite. With the delicious Lebanese saj bakery of the artist Mounira Al Solh and her assistent Koen Kutters. This event was a re-enactment of the bakery initiated Mounira Al Solh in 2017 in Kassel during documenta 14. @bark4kisses @kunsthuissyb mouniraalsolh @koennutters
