Opening: Thursday, December 11, 5:30–7:00 pm
After four successful editions, the fifth edition of the VDHP Video Biennial is now underway at Van der Helstplein Etalages in Amsterdam. Video works by fifteen artists are on display in twelve windows.
A mourning ritual, a dog’s gaze, a rebellious animation, a vanitas installation, a couple in a headlock, a sneaky peek, an animation in which mouths try to form words, an eternal thread, an abstract representation of a window in a mirrored cabinet, an animation of digital images, feet that scroll, hands that push a face into various shapes, objects thrown on a table, and a portrait of steaming sauna visitors.
Video art in public space, freely accessible, yet intimate thanks to its small size. You can walk by and pause for a moment, catch a glimpse of what’s happening behind the windows, or completely disappear into another world, right in the middle of the street.
Participating artists: Akmar, Danielle Alhassid, Ankabuta, Bhakti Bienemann, Nelleke Bosland, Anneke Bosma, Nynke Deinema, Henriëtte van ’t Hoog, Ine Lamers, Nils Muhlenbruch, Lies Neve, Anneliek Nieuwland, Astrid van Nimwegen, Inge Reisberman, Sam van Zoest.

Rhythm Section consists of artists from various disciplines who explicitly and consciously deal with the theme of rhythm in their work. The core that unites the group is the commitment to a hyper-reflexivity in dealing with rhythm, not as a constraint but as an original constant. The exchange and dynamics that arise from the different approaches and media provide new approaches to art and its practice.
The exhibition 1 5 2 3 8 provides for the first time a retrospective overview of the various activities of the group, which has been working together since 2010. In addition to the exhibition, there will be a side programme of workshops, performances and artist talks. In cooperation with Villa Waldberta (Feldafing), members of the group from China are invited to an artist residency.

Ram Bam is een registratie vanuit verschillende camerastandpunten waarbij een grote hoeveelheid voorwerpen op een metalen tafel wordt gegooid. Er lijkt geen aanleiding of reden te zijn voor deze handeling; het gooien is doel in zich, een vandalistische act. Dat wordt steeds duidelijker naarmate de video vordert. Ram Bam is in essentie een collage van bewegend beeld en geluid, een compositie.
De voorwerpen zijn alledaags en houden geen verband met elkaar. Ze verschillen qua materiaal, vorm, kleur en gewicht en hebben elk een specifieke rol binnen de filmische causaliteit. De camera volgt de voorwerpen tijdens het vallen. Ze landen op de tafel en veranderen telkens de ordening van wat daar al op en rondom ligt. Het ene voorwerp is licht en stuitert, het andere is zwaar en ligt snel stil. Materiaal en gewicht bepalen het geluid wanneer het op de tafel valt. De verzameling voorwerpen is dus ook een verzameling geluiden, met een grote gelaagdheid: van snerpend hard en kristalhelder tot zacht en subtiel.
De voortgang wordt geaccentueerd door vertraging en versnelling. Een object in slow motion zien vallen maakt het gevolg al voelbaar voordat het gebeurt, terwijl een versnelling de kijker juist overrompelt en verrast. Ook is er enkele keren een heel snelle editing vanuit meerdere standpunten. Het intensiveert de waarneming van het gefilmde vallende voorwerp.
