'They chose their medium as a way of coercing viewers to look closely at
images we might otherwise process in a glance' Los Angeles Times
The ICA London is proud to present the first major UK exhibition of
Dutch artists Jeroen de Rijke and Willem de Rooij. They work in 16mm and
35mm film that recalls elaborate pictures reminiscent of those seen in a
museum or in a cinema. In the ICA Galleries, de Rijke and de Rooij will
show three short films: Of Three Men (1998), 35mm; Bantar Gebang (2000),
35mm; Chun Tian (1994), 16mm.
Bantar Gebang was premiered at the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam in
2000 and shown at the Basel Art Fair in June 2001, where the artists
were awarded the prestigious Bâloise Art Prize for young art. De
Rijke/De Rooij are represented by Galerie Daniel Bucholz in Köln and
have previously shown at the Kunsthalle in Hamburg and Regen Projects in
Los Angeles. They will also be showing this year at Villa Arson in Nice.
