NL:

Voor het eerst mag de huiskunstenaar ook de rol van curator opnemen. Alice en zeven andere residenten uit De Tank, de atelierwerking van Het Entrepot, gaan in dialoog met acht jonge kunstenaars die geen link hebben met Brugge.

Zestien kunstenaars spelen "Quartet" in de acht exporuimtes van de Poortersloge: Ester Cornelis, Gilles Dedecker, Hans Demeulenaere, Tramaine de Senna, Kasper De Vos, Eva Dinneweth, Peter Lagast, Els Lesage, William Ludwig Lutgens, Natasja Mabesoone, Hilde Overbergh, Juan Pablo Plazas, Ellen Pil, Thomas Renwart, Alice Vanderschoot, en Leen Vandorpe.


QUARTET verwijst spelenderwijs naar het kaartspel, waarvan het doel erin bestaat om een set van telkens vier kaarten te verzamelen. Tegelijkertijd is een kwartet een stuk muziek die voor muzikanten geschreven wordt.


Tijdens QUARTET dialogeren de kunstenaars over poëtische humor, kleur, populaire beeldcultuur en representaties van (dis)functionele architectuur.

EN:

For the first time, the in-house artist is also allowed to take on the role of curator. Alice and seven other residents from De Tank, the studio work of Het Entrepot, enter into a dialogue with eight young artists who have no link with Bruges.

Sixteen artists play "Quartet" in the eight exhibition spaces of the Porter's Lodge: Ester Cornelis, Gilles Dedecker, Hans Demeulenaere, Tramaine de Senna, Kasper De Vos, Eva Dinneweth, Peter Lagast, Els Lesage, William Ludwig Lutgens, Natasja Mabesoone, Hilde Overbergh, Juan Pablo Plazas, Ellen Pil, Thomas Renwart, Alice Vanderschoot, and Leen Vandorpe.


QUARTET playfully refers to the card game, the aim of which is to collect a set of four cards at a time. At the same time, a quartet is a piece of music written for musicians.


During QUARTET, the artists dialogue about poetic humour, colour, popular visual culture and representations of (dys)functional architecture.

On the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, the Flemish Parliament this year invited six contemporary artists to create a work of art with the theme: the democratic system in the broadest sense of the word. This produced surprising results in textiles, sculpture, photo collage and video, in which modern citizenship, the globalized world, the conceptualization of paradise and even heraldry are linked to the basic concept.


The six artists are Marie Cloquet, Caroline Coolen, Tramaine de Senna, Klaas Rommelaere, Yonas Seyoum and Kato Six.


The Flemish Parliament regularly buys on the advice of the Art Committee, works of art by emerging artists who are professionally active in Flanders. In this way, the Flemish Parliament keeps its finger on the pulse of the dynamic art scene, supports artists and gathers the reference artists of tomorrow. The art collection of the parliament is very special. On the one hand because of the multitude of important artists, on the other hand because of the unique location in the parliament building.


A one-day expo of the first collection of artist jewelry "Love and Lacquer" by Tramaine de Senna x Silver Linings along with the "Spoons" and book project by Louisa Maria Ponseele and Tim Onderbeke.

Dears, 

On Thursday August 19th, 2021, my "Figure of Color" for the "Publiek Figuur" series, 

a project from the Middelheimmuseum's "Kunst in de Stad," 

was permanently installed Antwerp's city center park, Munthof. 

Read more below.

A few meters from the Mercator-Orteliushuis (of Abraham Ortelius, 1527 - 1598, creator of the first modern atlas), within the Munthof park, now stands my "Figure of Color" - a bronze statue commissioned by the Middelheimmuseum. The metallic salmon and purple pigmented wax will fade in time, replaced by the natural blue/green patina of bronze.


This figure is the first in the "Publiek Figuur" series "in which a contemporary artist is invited to create a new work for an empty classical pedestal in Antwerp's Stadspark"^1. The empty pedestal in Stadspark originally hosted the terra cotta bust of poet Frans de Cort (1834 - 1895) by sculptor Frans Joris (1851 - 1914), which had fallen into disrepair in the 1960s. Currently, the pedestal hosts the second in the "Publiek Figuur" series entitled "Figure of Absence" by artist Goshka Macuga.


As "Figure of Color" ended its year-long showing in Stadspark, it was decided to relocate it permanently to the Munthof park - "one of the last vacant open spaces in the historic city center."^2 At the end of the 15th century, Munthof housed a mint which fabricated bronze coins used as currency, and was owned by the Dutch Republic.


Many thanks to the residents of the Munthof neighborhood; Samuel Saelemakers, curator of the Antwerp public art collection; and to the Kunst in de Stad collection for acquiring this work.

Lisse Declercq and Tramaine de Senna are clearly also film buffs judging by what they can do for house Bernaerts. The entrance and first floor of the auction house, housed in the former interbellum cinema Cinema Tokio, are taken over for their duo show First Date - effectively the first collaboration between the two artists. They play with aesthetics of dinner and movies, the fantasy magoria of the dream manufacturer Hollywood in a duo between reality and fantasy. Personal stories are presented in a flashy form language that hints at popular culture and cinema. For example, Declercq's ​​very sweet paintings evoke the past idle calling language of advertising and cosmetics, while de Senna translates through cultural-historical research into work that takes on the most diverse forms.

I am pleased to announce my participation as one of the shortlisted artists in the genre of sculpture for the "Grote Prijs Ernest Albert" which will be held at De Garage - Room for Contemporary Art. This exhibition and biennial art prize is organized by the city council of Mechelen.

The opening of the exhibition, announcement and presentation of the prize will take place on Saturday, March 20th, 2021 at 11am in De Garage, Room for Contemporary Art, Onder den Toren 12, 2800 Mechelen.


In memory of Mrs. Marcelle Breugelmans, widow of Mr. Ernest Albert and the donor of this art prize, reference is made to the donor's preference for the figurative form of the art discipline practiced.

The Flemish Minister of Culture, the Chairman and members of the Board of Directors, and the M HKA team have the honour of inviting you to the opening of MASTERBLASTER, an exhibition by Tramaine de Senna.For her solo exhibition at M HKA, titled MASTERBLASTER, de Senna presents a series of new works alongside a key selection of existing sculptures. Together, this constellation of works form a broader investigation of transitionary aesthetics and selfhood. The forms that comprise de Senna’s works can be seen as acts of resistance to the contemporary demands for foregrounding one’s biography or one’s relations to established constituencies of identity, in favour of something much more ambiguous. Under the saccharin hues and textures, lye things more unresolved, mutable and non-representational. In this exhibition, these works requires us to reconcile our desires with the enigmatic nature of de Senna’s works.

Tramaine de Senna’s work bears witness to the artist’s intense relationship with materials, but also to the “migration of forms” between different popular or material cultures, excess, and also the symbolic violence and ‘hauntology’ of histories, both trans-cultural and personal. Working primarily with sculpture, de Senna’s works float aesthetically between exuberance and repulsion. In appropriating different forms, surface qualities and palettes, these works adopt a position of reflection towards society’s ability to produce prosaic pop culture in conjunction with its cannibalism of symbols and human subjectivities.

Tramaine de Senna is an artist from California who lives presently in Antwerp. In 2015, de Senna became a laureate of the HISK (Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten) in Ghent. In 2013, she earned an MFA from the Sint Joost Academy in Breda and ‘s-Hertogenbosch (NL); and in 2004, graduated with two simultaneous BA degrees in Architecture and in Art from the University of California at Berkeley. Recent solo exhibitions include: Tramaine de Senna, Mélange, Cologne (2019); Supernatural, Pulsar, Antwerp (2019); and Tramaine de Senna, Art Centre Hugo Voeten, Herentals, BE (2015).

The Cost Annex is pleased to present, for one night only, a group exhibition curated by Helen Singh-Miller.
NEW MOVEMENTMovement catches the eye, but it is not easy to see. Can we spot the impetus to motion? Can we tell the stillness of a completed action from the stillness before it began? How does the perception of movement change as we move? The artists in this show animate the connection between rhythm and syntax, basic steps and speech. A language, a family, each city street is revealed to “contain multitudes,” as Walt Whitman sings about the self. “As if you tied a knot on a timeline so that the past and future switch places and cover the current moment in more curves" (Oliver Strand). Or, as William James describes the present, like "a canoe or a saddle," something you can move back and forth inside of; it has a definite duration, is not infinitely divisible like a geometric point. Cherished gestures from pop and conceptual art, postmodern dance and *the movies* are rethought and remade. Part of a wider commitment to the relevance of physical experience, this exhibition explores what human movement looks like now. The results are unlikely and affecting. Featuring the work of Julie Carr, Carmine Grimaldi, Deniz Tortum, Wendy Jacob, Will Johnson, Helen Mirra, Robert Moeller, Joseph Pomp, Nathan Liow, Tramaine de Senna, and Helen Singh-Miller.

Friends and Colleagues,
On Sunday, April 7th, 2019, at 3pm, I have the great pleasure to invite you to the opening of  "Een tentoonstelling met posters/ An Exhibition of Posters" at the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
On this day, the collective learning participants of Witte de With will announce a new identity for Untitled, the provisional name of the ground-floor gallery space which is open, free of admission, to the public.
A set of A0 posters (84.1 x 118.9 cm or 33.1 x 46.8), available in an infinite edition, will be unveiled in response to this new identity. Twelve artists, including me, were specifically commissioned to make two posters each. These posters are available for purchase.
I will be delighted to meet you there.
ENGLISH:◑ Opening of An Exhibition of PostersSunday 7 April 2019, 3 - 6 pmLocation: Untitled (ground floor gallery)Free entrance
An exhibition of posters by Maja Bekan, Kévin Bray, Chloë Delanghe, Baldvin Einarsson, Priscila Fernandes, Vera Gulikers, An Onghena, Kevin Osepa, Josie Perry, Rory Pilgrim, Tramaine de Senna, and Edward Clydesdale Thomson.
Organized as part of the initiative for collective learning with Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij and Sytze Vanderwolk.
Curators: Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy, Samuel Saelemakers
The twelve visual artists, who live in the Netherlands and the surrounding region, were commissioned these posters as part of Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art’s collective learning initiative, with a focus on community building. This initiative entails many activities, including a work/study program designed for Rotterdam youth. The program includes art history courses as well as business workshops, and engages the program participants in skill-building activities to gain skills that range from hospitality to creating collaborative partnerships.
During the first edition nine participants enrolled: Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij and Sytze Vanderwolk. They are either still enrolled in school or are already pursuing a career in the arts. For a period of six months, these young Rotterdammers met, discussed ideas, and organized public programs together with Witte de With’s Curator of Collective Learning, Jessy Koeiman.
The participants learned and worked in the ground floor gallery space of Witte de With from September 2018 until February 2019. This space has provisionally been called Untitled, and is designed as a site for art displays and public convening, as well as the primary location for the institution’s public programs. At the exhibition opening on Sunday, April 7, the collective learning participants will announce a new identity for Untitled, which they conceptualized and developed during their work/study program.
In an effort to make the ground-floor gallery space more readily accessible to the public, entrance is free of admission.

NEDERLANDS:◑ Opening van Een tentoonstelling met posterszondag 7 april 2019, 15:00 - 18:00 uurLocatie: Zonder titel (tentoonstellingsruimte op de begane grond)Gratis inloop
Houd de middag van zondag 7 april 2019 van 15:00 tot 18:00 uur vrij voor de opening van:
Een tentoonstelling van posters door Maja Bekan, Kévin Bray, Chloë Delanghe, Baldvin Einarsson, Priscila Fernandes, Vera Gulikers, An Onghena, Kevin Osepa, Josie Perry, Rory Pilgrim, Tramaine de Senna, en Edward Clydesdale Thomson.
Georganiseerd als onderdeel van het initiatief voor collectief leren, met Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij en Sytze Vanderwolk.
Curatoren: Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy, Samuel Saelemakers
De twaalf beeldend kunstenaars die voornamelijk in Nederland wonen, hebben hun werk gemaakt in opdracht van Witte de Withs nieuwe Collectief Leren programma, dat zich richt op gemeenschapsvorming. Dit initiatief omvat meerdere activiteiten, waaronder het werk-leertraject voor Rotterdamse jongeren, met workshops variërend van beeldende kunst tot het betrekken van gemeenschappen en ondernemerschap. Het doel was uiteenlopende vaardigheden te verwerven: van gastvrijheid tot het creëren van samenwerkingsverbanden.
Tijdens deze eerste editie waren negen deelnemers actief: Gizem Adanur, Chloé Blansjaar, Tayler Calister , Mohamed Chajid, Sjoerd van Kampen, Stijn Kemper, Eva Langstraat, Joy Ravenswaaij en Sytze Vanderwolk. Sommigen van hen studeren of werken en sommigen streven een carrière in de kunst na. Gedurende een periode van zes maanden ontmoetten deze jonge Rotterdammers elkaar, bespraken ze ideeën en organiseerden ze een reeks evenementen samen met Jessy Koeiman, Witte de Withs Programmamaker voor Collectief Leren.
De jongeren hebben vanaf september 2018 tot februari 2019 geleerd en gewerkt in de ruimte op de begane grond van Witte de With. Deze tentoonstellingsruimte met de voorlopige naam Zonder titel is ontworpen voor kunstpresentaties en publieke bijeenkomsten en is daarmee de voornaamste plek voor openbare programma’s. Tijdens de opening van de tentoonstelling op zondag 7 april zullen de jongeren de nieuwe identiteit onthullen voor de tentoonstellingsruimte die zij hebben ontwikkeld tijdens het werk-leertraject.
Om de ruimte zo toegankelijk mogelijk te maken voor publiek is deze ruimte altijd gratis te bezoeken.

Friends and Colleagues,
I have the great pleasure to invite you to the opening of SUPERNATURAL, my solo exhibition at Pulsar, an independent exhibition space by and for artists. All new works will be exhibited for their first time.
I will be delighted to meet you there.
* * * * *
Tramaine de Senna’s SUPERNATURAL is part of an ever-evolving body of work that bears witness to the artist’s intense relationship with materials and her interest in issues such as the migration of forms, pop and material culture, internalized violence, exuberance, and the enduring ambiguous presence - “ghosts” - of histories. Executed via the plasticity of foam, textiles, and 2-composite materials, the SUPERNATURAL series are sculptures of biomorphic, abstracting, and rectilinear entities, radiating information in non-narrative ways, existing in lives outside human consciousness. These nomadic elements, drifting through time and space, are extracted from a vast visual and audio bank compiled by the artist. They reveal a myriad of ongoing preoccupations including Brutalist architecture of electrical power and telecommunications, children’s television programming, exotica for armchair safari-ers, frontier idioms, architecture between the world wars such as streamline modernism, funk and soul music, toys, and the creativity of “passing” to avoid stigma. She makes a visual and conceptual link, for example, between the physical manifestation of internalized violence and the formalism of certain hybrid plastic injection molded toys, equating both to the grotesque (deformation bodies, tortured souls). In this sense, her forms are analytical and emotive, an exercise in social dissection that inhabits a haunting formalism, heightened by tactility, bouts of scale, and a visceral use of texture and color.

Dear friends and colleagues,


From August 26th until October 7th, 2018, I am pleased to announce "Expo Verknipt" in which I am presenting a new work within WARP's

window display. You are more than welcome to see this and art from "kunstenaars, samplers, leugenaars, residenten en dissidenten."

above: Joe Louis and Max Schmeling


“ [...] each perpetually assumes the guise of the other, creating that dense, many-sided and shifting reality which is the world we live in and the world we make. To tell his story is to begin to liberate us from his image and it is, for the first time, to clothe this phantom with flesh and blood, to deepen, by our understanding of him and his relationship to us, our understanding of ourselves and of all men.


[...] there are whites and blacks among us who hate each other, we will not; there are those who are betrayed by greed, by guilt, by blood lust, but not we; we will set our faces against them and join hands and walk together into the dazzling future when there will be no white or black.”^1

Twenty artists received an original copy of Signaal, a very popular German military propaganda magazine distributed during World War II in the occupied territories. Starting from this source material the artists create new work, in diverse materials and contexts. They all work on the thin line between fact & fiction, between truth & lies. 


Verknipt will be officially opened with a speech of political journalist Ivan De Vadderand with a musical sampling by opera singer Eurudike De Beul.


In co-operation with the library of Sint-Niklaas.

(photo above): Way back in 1976 the word Hammerfriar was coined when Jill Plamann and her husband Steve decided to name any 

joint venture they created. Based on the words hammer-for-hire they would do anything they could to earn a dime to support their artistic ventures.


NEWS:

Hammerfriar Gallery celebrates its first 13 Years with a retrospective of 41 artists. This is the final show curated by influential Gallery founder, Jill Plamann, who is retiring after 40 years of presenting art. The Gallery will now continue under the direction of new owners Charly Leys and Glenn Young. Hammerfriar Gallery is dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art with a vision. Since our inception in 2005, we have developed a reputation as one of Sonoma County's premier galleries -- representing both established and emerging artists from the greater San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Our artists are diverse in their expression and backgrounds, yet they share a common intuition and vision that is conveyed in their individual styles and mediums. Through exhibitions of paintings, sculpture and mixed media art, we come together to explore a central philosophy deeply

rooted in humanity, time and space.


41 VISUAL ARTISTS:

Chris Beards, Edi Bergman, Seymour Bergman, Francesco Cafiso, Ryan Carrington, Peter Crompton, Robyn Spencer-Crompton, Sandy Deeks, Ryan Douglas, Ann Gerber, Harley, Pamela Holmes, Jenny Honnert, John Hundt, Britta Kathmeyer, Sally Krahn, Frank LaPena, Pat Lenz, Hamlet Mateo, Gene McClelland, Penny Michel, Frank Miller, Monty Monty, Art Moura, Jann Nunn, Daniel Oberti, Sherry Parker, Molly Perez, Catherine Richardson, Deborah Salomon, Tramaine de Senna, Bill Shelley, Judson King Smith, Claude Smith, Robert Michael Smith, Shelley Spira Burns, Alice Sutro, Mike Tinney, James Vogel, Victoria Wagner, and Kathleen Yorba

From June 3rd to October 21st, 2018, I am pleased to announce an exhibition curated by Ilse Roosens of paintings by Farah Atassi

and a mixture of new and older works from my oeuvre at the Constant Permeke Museum in Jabbeke (through Mu.Zee in Oostende, Belgium).

Like Constant Permeke’s, the works of Farah Atassi and Tramaine de Senna manifest a keen interest in folkloric motifs. The artists copy and mix the imagery of objects that are often situated in an ethnographic or design context, such as carpets, masks or toys. In the first half of the twentieth century, Permeke and several of his contemporaries adopted the forms of African masks and sculptures. They were motivated by a fascination with the aesthetic qualities of the objects.

Grete Simkuté wrote an article for Belgium's (h)art magazine (October 22, 2015) about my solo exhibition, which will close on Halloween, October 31, 2015. 

From September 25 - October 29th, 2015, fellow colleagues and I will be exhibiting at the sixth Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art.

Art Center Hugo Voeten proudly presents my solo exhibition, exhibiting from August 28th to October 31st 2015.

Published text:

The Californian artist, Tramaine de Senna, is interested in the migration of forms in relation to material culture and political economies. Through a staging of her work as artifacts, de Senna cues a visual cinematic memory in relation to the viewer under which histories manifest. Next to older works, the emphasis of this exhibition will be on her most recent creations.


Tramaine de Senna (°1981, San Francisco, California) is currently based in Ghent where she is following an artist in residency at the HISK (Higher Institute of Fine Arts).


Curator: Lisa van Gerven
