Patricia Esquivias: Folklore
Patricia Esquivias’s exhibition “Folklore” at the Gallery Miroslav Kraljevic features for the first time all four works from the series in a single gallery space. Her works thematize the history of Spain, its culture and image. Folklore video installations deal with the events of historical significance and parallel stories which are stored in the collective, “folk” memory. Using a modest aesthetics and unrehearsed speech to narrate the stories, Patricia Esquivias weaves together unrelated facts, presenting the making of history as a democratic, continuous, permeable and participatory activity. We watch the lecture through the subjective frame of the artist-narrator. Exhibition opening: 5th of March, 7 pm. Exhibition is open until 6th of April.

Nicoline van Harskamp: Yours in solidarity
Yours in Solidarity addresses the history and future of anarchism and revolves around the letter archive of the Dutch anarchist Karl Max Kreuger (1946-1999), now housed in the International Institute for Social History in Amsterdam. Kreuger maintained extensive correspondence with about 400 fellow anarchists world wide. Through the study of the letters he exchanged with 60 of them –- an investigation of their respective private and political observations and handwriting analyses –- and with the help of actors of the relevant age and nationality, van Harskamp constructs their life stories starting from the last date of writing. In a fully staged meeting of correspondents, she suggests what would happen if they were to meet today. The resulting work brings together van Harskamp’s notes and quotations from over 1000 letters - video documentation of the individual working sessions with actors - and a video of the meeting.
