Open Atelier during 26. Kunst-Loose-Tage 2024 (Oderbruch)

10., 11. and 12. of May from 10:00 until 18:00 hours

I hereby invite you to an event where I open my atelier for everybody who wants to come – I want to show a mixture newer and older works to people that are interested to get to know what I stand for.  This is part of a larger event, called the 26. Kunst-Loose-Tage and it will be held from 10.–12. Mai 2024 from 10:00 until 18:00 hours – organized by Kunst im Oderbruch with over 50 artists/locations all over the Oderbruch region – more info here: https://kunst-im-oderbruch.de/ – at the bottom of that page there is also a map – I am number 47 on that map. There is lots to do and see, but this endeavor would be easier with a car since only a few are near a train station.

I am one of the lucky few since my location is literally Am Bahnhof 3, 16259 Falkenberg – so it is the third house at the train station Falkenberg (Mark or Mol) – reachable over Eberswalde with RE 3 or RE 24 from Berlin and then the RE 60 for two more stations until it starts to look like a scene from the walking dead:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/MJn9twv9hQYpgEEr7

Perhaps I’ll see you then. 

Regards, Jerome Goldnose

Last Day of Winter / First Wood / Near that Hill – exhibited during Hungerwinter/Romantique as part of #48HNK 2022

These are 4 large sized artworks (almost A0) and are all hand made prints/transfers made from digital files. The technique is similar to what is done with photocopies or laser prints with lithography but not the same.

My theme was Hungerwinter / Romantique – here is more info on the story behind the works and how it fitted in the main theme for #48HNK2022.

I was very satisfied with the result and the reactions of the public. For now this is the way I will print for some time to come. I will, however, try to find other ways to make handcrafted prints based on digital files. Maybe it is time for a manifesto.

EXPO 24-26.06 2022 / #48hneukoelln #48hnk2022

Hungerwinter/Romantique – Walking through a forest during a pandemic

Expo as part of the Main theme ‘Kafayı yemek / Ich esse meinen Kopf’ during 48H Neuköln 2022 – 24.06-26.06 @CBS-Weinkunstscheune from 24.6 until 26.6.2022

Almost every week during these Covid years, I have made a long hike through Berlin and Brandenburg – and every time I brought a camera.

During my walks I not only cleared my head so I could stop myself from eating my head off – but I also tried to step away from all the head-eating as a result of our changed reality as became clear in the past decade: we are not in control of nature – not the nature around us and not our human nature – and we never have been.

Even before Covid I was regularly pondering about two facts that were burned in my head:

  1. In Europe we used to have at least 10 large famines every century. And Famines and disease often go hand in hand.
  2. Part of the battlefield of WWI is still not accessible to humans or fit to be used as farmland over a 100 years later.

In the western world we want to forget that. We think science will save us and our flourishing economy will make us better people, living in eternal peace and unity. But Trump, global warming and Covid (EDIT: and now the current war, the looming food crisis) have proven that we are not as in control of our destiny as we would like.

For me this was a reason to try and find inspiration in the art of times when we saw nature for what it really is: on the one side it gives us life, on the other it is our mortal enemy. The strange thing is that in the paintings of the past, nature is seen as a place of beauty and a world filled with power. That is what I focused on.

During 48 Hours NK, I want to show a series of large black and white photos printed on surfaces painted with silver or gold. I want to present that as a panorama built from multiple prints in ornamental frames (A0 or larger) on 3 or 2 walls, maybe also photos on floor/ceiling depending on the space. This should not only show nature, but also should be seen as a moment of contemplation of our role in that nature. Because without it we are going to blow our top off (platzt den Hutrand) or people start bashing each other’s heads in – or we have to bow our heads and accept our fate.

What I made for the Kleistpark Berlin Art Price 2017 (sadly I was not selected)

This is the work I send to the Gallery Kleistpark Berlin to apply the art price of 2017 around the theme of the ‘Capriccio.’ To them this has to do with going against the art rules in a playful way. This is seen as the forerunner for the modern art. In wikipedia it is called ‘an architectural fantasy, placing together buildings, archaeological ruins and other architectural elements in fictional and often fantastical combinations.’

I applied since I think I could fit into both definitions.

The text I send to them was more or less the one in my ‘About my work‘ text – and I added the following:

”The main grammar that I use in the work I present here, is that of the ornament, and the goal is to make people question what is inside the fleshy, semi-erotic, alien – perhaps grotesque – ornamental centerpiece. What should be the meaning of this in an era where so many people wonder about sexualitiy, gender; what is the meaning of this in this time where we marvel about the knowledge and ability to perform sex-changes and at the same time we ponder about the existence of Alien Life.

Maybe trans-sexualism – and also trans-humanism – should be the next step in our development before we even are able to be confronted with the unimaginable coming from other planets. But on the other hand, who says the unimaginable has to come from outer space? It does not matter if it is true alien life or simply the next step in our own evolution. Or maybe the person standing next to us in the subway. Maybe we’ll find out at some point.”

Expo ‘Filmriss / Blackout’ during European Month of Photography 2016 in Boulevard Berlin

I had an exhibition with 13 other lovely people in Boulevard Berlin from october 2016 until december the 31st 2016. The exhibition is part of the European Month of Photography and takes place with support from the ‘Kulturamt Steglitz’

On the 16th of November starting at 18.00 I will be there to tell something about my work – together with three other participants.

The exhibition takes place in Boulevard Berlin, Schloßstraße 10, 12163 Berlin on the first floor (entrance nearest to the U-Bahn station Scholßstraße) in the exhibition space of Culturamt Steglitz. Open Mondays till Saturdays 10-20 hours, and at the sundays all shops are allowed to be open.

Check the tag ‘EMOP2016‘ for my works at the exhibition:

Road to Europe – Expo 2014 S.Bahnhof Potsdamer Platz – 17.10 – 16.11.2014

Road to Europe is a group exhibition at S. Bahnhof Potsdamer Platz organized by MFG, part of the Europeam Month of Photography exhibition in Berlin (MDF), with works from: Eva Brunner, Michele Caliari, Marion Elias, Jeroen Goulooze, Christine Kisorsy, Susanne Leibold, Stephanie Neumann, Nicole Woischwill.

From the catalog:

Die Fotoausstellung „Road to Europe“ zeigt Innen- und Außenansichten von einem Europa, das sowohl als geografischer Kontinent als auch als politischer und wirtschaftlicher Staatenbund, auf den Wünsche und Visionen, Bedeutungen und Identitäten projiziert werden, verstanden werden kann. Die Straße ist die Metapher für die ständig fortschreitenden gesellschaftlichen und sozialen Entwicklungsprozesse und der Ausgangspunkt für die verschiedenen Perspektiven, welche die teilnehmenden Fotografen mit ihren Bilderwelten einnehmen.

Jeroen Goulooze – Standing outside, looking in

Obwohl es offiziell keine nationalen Grenzen mehr gibt, entwickelt sich Europa zunehmend zu einer “Gated Community”, zu einer geschlossen Gesellschaft. Diejenigen, die innerhalb dieser Grenzen leben, glauben an das Versprechen, von einer prosperierenden Zukunft profitieren zu können. Grenzen trennen das Innen vom Außen und schaffen Ordnung. Doch sie definieren nicht, was sich hinter den Grenzen befindet.

In seiner Arbeit versucht der Bildkünstler die Sichtweisen derjenigen aufzuzeigen, die ausserhalb dieser Grenzen leben, weil sie entweder nicht Teil dieser Gesellschaft sein wollen oder es nicht sein können.

Thoughts about ‘Road to Europe’and the adaptations for Road to Europe

The future is already here — it’s just not very evenly distributed
— William Gibson

Europeans have a birth-right to reside inside of what is more and more becoming the gated community called the EU. That right gives them the opportunity to participate in and benefit from Europe’s blissful future. In my work I am looking for the viewpoints of those who do not wish to be part of this utopian world, those who are willing to work on an alternative future or those who can not be part of that privilege for whatever reason – and I have positioned them against the borders or inside the no-mans lands that seem to define them. Will they be honored as martyrs in future-Europe, just like the early monks who gained sainthood because of their apocalyptic visions, the hardships they endured and the good deeds they performed?

Expo 2012

Expo – Opening 15th of October 2012 -19:00 hours

I have an exhibition starting on monday the 15th of October until monday 21st of October in a bar called ‘The Great Heisenberg’ in Neuölln, Berlin – opening starts at 19:00. I will show mostly new works and one of them will be donated to the Kreutzigerstrasse during an event at a later time. Music by the PrunX acoustic + suprise guests session :-)

I’m not a photographer per-se, but I do take photos all the time and use the resulting material and a bunch of digital tools to create art that is inspired by classical topics and themes. One of the works I will show is the last in a series of modern icons I have been working on for almost 10 years. It is the picture of an ex-junky who has since died after a robbery. I can still find him in my list of facebook friends. Every year on the day he died people will tell him they miss him. If we also post our prayers on his wall, will he talk to god so he favors our wishes? In our modern society we no longer honor our outcasts as the saints they used to be in earlier times, as described in anthropological works like ‘The Golden Bough’ by sir J.G. Frazer. What used to live in churches /temples is now experienced while dancing to a thumping beat. Too bad being an outcast is just a live-style that is at its best an inspiration for our latest fashion choices. The other works I will show are also inspired by something classical: I’m trying to rediscover ornamental themes as used in wallpaper, murals and in books until not that long ago.

Opening hours are from 20.00 hours until way after midnight. The expo is part of a series of exhibitions from [MfG Berlin – Movement for Galleries]
