CAESURA //
A Perception of Silence
Group exhibition ‘Caesura’ is on view in the gallery from the 9th of February until the 16th of March.
This exhibition brings together a selection of pieces by Azul Ehrenberg, Johnny Mae Hauser and Aldo van den Broek.
In a fast paced world filled with stimuli, even the slightest perception of silence can be significantly valuable. What happens in this fleeting moment of quiet presence?

Azul Ehrenberg (1997) is an emerging interdisciplinary artist who graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2022, she is based between Mexico and Amsterdam. Among other projects, she showed her graduation work in the exhibition '34 ondergaande zonnen' at gallery Vriend van Bavink. In her work she dominantly uses a combination of self-made paper, visual poetry and moving image. Azul said about her work in the upcoming show: 'The works in 'CAESURA' might all together form a journey through my subconscious. The images represent moments of wandering in and out of what's real and imaginary.'
Johnny Mae Hauser (1997) is known for her sensitive ways of capturing the obscure existence of human emotion. An incomprehensible stillness can be found in her images, which are recognisable by their soft and at times cool colour schemes. The Dutch-German artist who graduated in 2022 from the KABK challenges us to see beyond the traditional ways of looking at photography. She already has several solo exhibitions on her name and is paving her way to becoming an internationally recognized artist.
Aldo van den Broek (1985) creates charged, texturized canvases and sculptures by using scrap materials that he carefully selects from the street such as cardboard, wood, fabrics, plastic, and metals. He reframes and re-contextualizes his subject and combines technical mastery with playful assemblage techniques. These resulting stills defy straightforward interpretation as he questions our fast-paced society, exploring love, death, and the existential.
