Terneuzen (NL), 1971 lives and works in Axel(NL) represented byGalerie Van den Berge, Goes contact(0031) 645 3721 85 info(at)tamaradees.nl statementThe work of Tamara Dees is about experiencing and investigating what it is like to be small in a big world – often the world of shipping. In recent years she has repeatedly investigated the actual size of ships, as well as the actual size of various ‘big’ works of art. Although ships are a recurrent feature of her work, she is more interested in what happens alongside the nautical world. How big are ships, actually, and what happens if you use them for a quite unintended purpose? Turned upside down, or broken, they become something very different. In 2008 the artist built a partial replica of the side of a barge for a project at the Caesuur exhibition space in Middelburg, to show the relative sizes of ships and houses. The work, entitled Ware Grootte (‘Full size’), was a huge black surface placed behind the windows of the building – visible and yet invisible. Dees also investigated the actual size of the wave depicted in Hokusai’s famous print The Great Wave. She estimated the size of the boats and the wave by taking the human figures in the print as her yardstick. She then used these sizes to produce an installation at the Kipvis guest studio in Vlissingen. A small newspaper report about a tragedy in 2011 was the inspiration for several works in which all the passengers in an older newspaper photograph of ‘boat people’ were coloured with a marker pen, to emphasise the disappearance of the subject matter. The Disappearance (2013) is based on a book of pictures about the history of sailing. All the ships shown in the book, as well as the people on board them, are coloured with permanent black marker ink. Where is the boundary between presence and disappearance?Tamara Dees studied sculpture at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design and Visual Arts at the Post Sint Joost Academy in Breda. Her work has been purchased by the Sanders-Ten Holte collection, Woongoed Zeeuws Vlaanderen, the Vlissingen art library and various private collections. It has also been commissioned for temporary exhibitions in public space by clients including the Province of Limburg/Roermond Municipal Museum and the Province of Zeeland Visual Arts Centre (CBK Zeeland). downloadscv 2015 (pdf) | //educationPost St. Joost Breda, Visual Arts (MA), graduated in 2001 1998 Erasmus scolarship KIAD, Canterbury (UK) Academie Beeldende Kunsten Maastricht, Visual Arts (BA), graduated in 1998 //exhibitions solo/duo2017 Mare Nostrum, Mon Capitaine, Middelburg 2017 Flotilla, Rotterdam Contemporary, booth twelve twelve gallery 2017 The Open Boat, twelve twelve gallery, The Hague 2016 So You Don't Get Lost In The Neighborhood, Vleeshal Middelburg/ Terneuzen 2015-16 Of Suffering, Elizabeth Ziekenhuis, Tilburg 2015 Motivi Portanti, duo with P.B.
