Watching art in On Keeping A Notebook by Gabrielle Kroese

During On keeping a notebook, we will again organise a “Kijken met Jaap” evening. In an accessible way, we will discuss what we see in all the works in the exhibition. Jaap van der Veen will guide the meeting in an open and humorous way. The aim is not to discuss substantive expertise, but the pleasure of looking. Gabrielle Kroese herself is also present.

Experience shows that the conversations always lead to surprises and new insights, both among the participants and the artists.

"In conversation, you also look through the other person's eyes. One is focused on form and colour, the other immediately looks for meaning or a story. I also discover how I look myself." - visitor

"There is more to see than meets the eye. I spent a long time looking at something I would otherwise have walked past." - visitor

"When I made the artwork it was clear. Now I'm completely surprised by the viewer's confusion." - exhibitor

‘I didn't know I made this.’ - exhibitor

Jaap van der Veen is a behavioural biologist specialising in learning processes. Jaap is an active contributor to Galerie Noord, where he enjoys confusing others joyfully.

Galerie Noord.

Galerie Noord is een expositieruimte in hartje Groningen. Vierwekelijks bieden we kunstenaars uit het Noorden de mogelijkheid recent werk te tonen, solo of in kleine groepen. Galerie Noord richt zich op autonoom, experimenteel en onderzoekend werk in vrijwel alle disciplines. We willen bezoekers verrassen door tentoonstellingen te bieden met een wisselend karakter. 
 
Galerie Noord wordt volledig gerund door vrijwilligers. In 1997 werd de galerie opgericht als kunstenaarsinitiatief.
