1UP Evelien Lohbeck with Semâ Bekirovic, Marrit Snel and Roel Wouters Thursday 11 June to Sunday 16 August 2009

Under the heading 1UP, young artists are provided with a platform in the 45m2 upstairs space at 21 rozendaal. Each 1UP exhibition lasts roughly two months. Evelien Lohbeck’s 1UP exhibition is the first in a series. ‘Notebook’ constantly switches back and forth between a sketchbook and a laptop, and thus between the real, analog world and the digital world. The installation ‘Notebook’ bundles together in a playful manner various animations by Evelien Lohbeck. The artist has chosen to share her ‘solo’ exhibition with like-minded artists. As in ‘Notebook,’ the three works by Semâ Bekirovic, Marrit Snel and Roel Wouters play with the concept of handcrafted work in a digital world. The works give a nod to digital techniques, make an appeal for a return to old-fashioned cutting and pasting, and usually involve reversals. Humor is never far off, and the works are charged with the pleasure of creation. Biography Evelien Lohbeck (1983, lives in Breda) graduated from the St. Joost Academy of Art and Design in Breda in the summer of 2008. She majored in Animation. ‘Notebook,’ which was Evelien Lohbeck’s final graduation piece, has already earned her various prizes.
