    We are excited to be returning to UNTITLED San Francisco, where we will feature new works by Jasper de Beijer, Matthew Craven, and Melanie Daniel. 
    Jasper will debut two photos from his new series “The Admiral’s Headache,” about Dutch colonialism in Curaçao, created with both cut paper models and digital techniques. Matthew will have collages of gems and mushrooms, on movie posters from the ’60s and 70’s. Melanie is continuing her series on climate change, with fantastical narratives of women and plants in a post-apocalyptic world.

    For a full PDF catalog, detail images, or any additional information on our artists, please do not hesitate to contact us. We hope to see you at booth B11!

    About ‘The Admiral’s Headache’:

    During his 4 month residency at the Instituto Buena Bista in Curaçao Jasper de Beijer collected information about the Dutch past in this former colony of the Netherlands.  The artist was intrigued by the modular character of the buildings, ships, tools and weapons, which were in a way all part of the method of using human beings as a commodity. The administrative papers prove the instrumental character of the Dutch activities, breaking down all commodities into bits of profit or cost.
    De Beijer imagined this whole system as an alien invasion on the island, using the method of compartmentalized boats and houses as prefab and modular units. He took this idea as a vantage point to imagine the ships bringing these units, unloading them like container ships and start colonizing the land to prepare it for the slaves who provided the running engine for the system.

    In this world the colonialists become hidden players, only present behind their facades and their empty uniform costumes in the museums in Curacao. He recreated his version of the island, in 3D in paper  – and made a desolated place in his studio, riddled with living units, storage units, prefab harbors, boats and machines that are waiting to be involuntary powered by humans, the ancestors of the current inhabitants.
