Erwin Olaf in the Gemeentemuseum

Today I went to the Gemeentemuseum for the second time to see Erwin Olaf’s retrospective. In honour of his sixtieth birthday, the Fotomuseum Den Haag and the Gemeentemuseum have organised a combined retrospective.

Last time, we started in the Fotomuseum. Olaf’s early photos are on display here. This is generally the rawer work, mostly black and white. In the Gemeentemuseum, the more stylised work of the older Erwin Olaf is exhibited. Top work, related to Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson.

Hannah Starkey

Hannah Starkey makes images with beautiful light and full colors. The photos remind me of William Eggleston (the colors, the mundane subjects), Jeff Wall (the silent, staged pictures), and Alex Prager (the colors, the women).

The pictures look misleadingly simple and light, but just give it a try: impossible.

Vraag me af of het goed gaat met Albini, hij zag er niet zo gezond uit, maar het optreden was als vanouds (afgelopen februari – kwam het filmpje in mijn video archief tegen).
