"BLACKOUT" JELMONI STUDIO GALLERY in collaboration with MUSEUM CBK AMSTERDAM

In the beginning there was BLACK, an absolute darkness before the fateful Big Bang, as described in today's scientific theories. A condition related to the “privatio lucis” (the absence of light) followed thereafter: the phenomenal black of what remains in the shadow. What we can call the “creation starting from black” therefore took place in an unspecified and remote point in history and time.
This exhibition, created by JELMONI STUDIO GALLERY, focuses on research and selection of emerging contemporary art, on its different and multifaceted forms of expression, and on its variety of genres without any restriction―from painting to sculpture, photography to projections. Everything finds its own place in this unique exhibition space.
CBK Amsterdam is a meeting place where contemporary art is central. CBK starts and encourages activities for a wide audience, and works with organizations, schools and artists to make art accessible. Thanks to its diverse programming, CBK contributes to the active cultural environment in Amsterdam and in its surroundings. The venue is located in the heart of the cultural district, surrounded by a variety of organizations devoted to research and innovation. CBK joins the cultural network by collaborating with a number of institutions and academies in order to promote and stimulate debate on contemporary culture. The institution was created to present, collect, document and promote the most advanced artistic research. Since its inauguration, CBK has been extensively engaged in exhibiting and documenting contemporary art, and has also implemented many educational programs, shows and multimedia events. It has collected more than a thousand works of art that map art trends from the Sixties to the present: painting, sculpture, cinema and videos, installations, works on paper, art books, photographs, graphics and various commissioned projects.
The museum presents a dynamic perspective. It explores the present through a research-focused exhibition, and helps to draw new ways following the most innovative experimental practices.
Project Introduction
In the new millennium the art scene is global, and the epicenters of the new creative impulses are no longer just the great metropolises. New, smaller contexts with rich cultural traditions can fascinate the audience thanks to their original, innovative and dynamic art proposals. The last few years have been characterized by a "Nordic boom", i.e. an increased presence on the international scene of Scandinavian artists together with a strong upswing of museums and institutions for contemporary art in countries such as Holland, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
