Ag Galerie is pleased to announce the opening of Paulien Oltheten's solo exhibition titled "For those that will, ways are not wanting". In this exhibition Paulien Oltheten shows her latest work for which she travelled to both Isfahan in Iran and Samara in Russia. At first she focused on the river that streams through both cities and that both had been changed ‘temporary’ into a new public space because of the season or the climate change. But soon she made other significant observations along the way.
The result is a photoseries and video. The video that bares the title of the exhibition shows playful image combinations of seemingly simple observations that, once combined and rhythmically edited, can become funny and poetic.

RAUMA TRIENNALE 2019 /
IN PRAISE OF BOREDOM
When: June 8-September 15, 2019
Where: Rauma Art Museum
Opening hours:
closed on Mondays
Tue-Fri 12-17
Sat-Sun 11-16
The first Rauma Triennale, to be held this summer, will challenge you to consider the value of boredom – a phenomenon seemingly to be avoided at all costs in our time, the stimulus-packed era of digitalisation and globalisation. What do we lose if we give up boredom? Does boredom hide something worth holding on to?
The exhibition is hosted by the Rauma Art Museum and the abandoned shopping centre of Tarvontori. Boredom is present in the works in a number of ways: as a laborious technique, slow-paced contents or an appearance that demands it be explored without hurry.

DE MATERIAALMAN
De hesjes wassen, de ballen oppompen, de lijnen op het speelveld trekken: onzichtbare, maar belangrijke klussen die een wedstrijd mogelijk maken. Maar wie is DE MATERIAALMAN eigenlijk?
In de derde aflevering van HET PERSONAGE geven vijf schrijvers, een fluitist en een beeldend kunstenaar DE MATERIAALMAN een stem.
Een avond over materialen binnen en buiten de sport: over twaalftoonsmuziek, kleedkamerhaakjes en cornervlaggen, maar ook over de straat als magazijn voor de kunstenaar en een ode aan een uitstervend beroep.

Nouveau Prix Découverte 2018
2 july - 23 sept 2018
Happy to announce that my project about La Défense is nominated for the Prix Découverte in Arles this year!
En 1930, l’écrivain et dramaturge Bertolt Brecht, écrivait dans sa pièce L’exception et la règle : « Observez bien le comportement des gens : trouvez-le surprenant, même s’il n’est pas singulier et inexplicable, même s’il est ordinaire et incompréhensible, même s’il est la règle ». Les photographies, les performances et les vidéos de Paulien Oltheten semblent vouloir explorer ce qu’il y a de commun et à la fois d’extraordinaire dans le comportement humain dans l’espace public.

La Défense, le regard qui s'essaye
Le Jeu de Paume accueille l’artiste néerlandaise Paulien Oltheten pour clôturer la programmation culturelle autour de l’exposition Ed Van der Elsken. Auteur de l’un des essais du catalogue, elle propose au public une performance inédite dans laquelle l’homme et l’espace public sont les enjeux centraux : des thèmes chers et partagés avec Ed Van der Elsken.
Sous nos yeux, l'artiste Paulien Oltheten trie et manipule une sélection d’images imprimées, d’objets et de vidéos. Son cheminement dans les images esquisse une cartographie du comportement humain dans les espaces publics des grandes villes.
L’artiste Paulien Oltheten a réalisé pour le magazine une performance à huis-clos, dans son atelier à la Cité internationale des Arts à Paris. La captation vidéo présentée ici montre la manière dont cette artiste produit des interactions visuelles avec les images fixes ou animées d’Ed van der Elsken. Au cours de cette performance Paulien Oltheten met en jeu ses propres photographies et vidéos, captées dans l’espace public, parmi celles d’Ed van der Elsken. Elle filme la table sur laquelle elle active les images et projette cette captation en temps réel sur le mur derrière elle. Certaines vidéos préenregistrées dans sa caméra sont également diffusées par intermittence.

The recent US Presidential election, the British Brexit vote, the upcoming Dutch national elections - what better time to question the role of speech, Who speaks, Who acts? There is a significant sense that we simply don’t understand the direction of travel currently being followed. Now, at the beginning of 2017, there are many rallying cries to make this year different to the last. Where do we go from here? starts with this question” (Vincentelli).

In this performance Oltheten offers a staged rendition of the way she handles her visual archive when at work in her studio, in a sense performing her own behavior as an artist. Sorting through a selection of print and moving images, which are simultaneously projected as a slide show, Oltheten elaborates on her methods for mapping particular aspects of human behavior. Oltheten orders a seemingly random selection of images into clusters, based on recurrent patterns. This live presentation is at once a performance, an anthropological investigation, an auto-contextualization of Oltheten’s own work, and an instructive viewing exercise: by letting the audience in on her own ways of seeing and sorting, as well as by sharing the stories behind images, she allows others to draw their own connections within this selection from her archive.

Where: Oude Kerk, Oudekerksplein 23, 1012 GX Amsterdam
With: Hedwig Houben, Melanie Bonajo, Frank Koolen en Paulien Oltheten.
About my performance: Oltheten uses public space as her field of operation, taking humans in relation to their surroundings as her main subject. In photography and video she selects particular kinds of postures, patterns and behaviours. In her pseudo-lectures the artist weaves various works into a narrative structure, stacking them both formally and in time. This new lecture, too, results in a piece that may be positioned between performative archive, anthropological study and documentary.

EVERYDAY LIFE
PART III: STREET
4.09 — 25.09 2014
Vernissage: 4.09 17:00-20.00
Artist's Talk: 18:00
Between July and October, ‘Local Library Window’ hosts a series of exhibitions entitled ‘Inventing Everyday Life’, which has been included in the parallel program of the European biennale for Contemporary Art ‘Manifesta 10’.
‘Local Library Window: contemporary art about everyone for everyone’ is a project in a remote residential area, in which an outdoor library window is used as the exhibition space. This curatorial intervention aims to move contemporary art practices beyond the museum-gallery system toward a wider audience and to examine the different manifestations of everyday life in a place of its most apparent concentration.

8th August - 5th October 2014
Mit dem Verhalten von Passanten, Körperskulpturen des Zufalls und Situationskomik erkunden die Fotografien Paulien Olthetens das Genre des Schnappschusses. Oltheten lotet dabei bewusst die Gesetzmäßigkeiten des Ephemeren aus, in vielen ihrer Aufnahmen kann vom Betrachter nicht nachvollzogen werden, ob es sich um eine tatsächliche Momentaufnahme handelt oder ob er unfreiwillig Zeuge einer Inszenierung der kleinen Gesten geworden ist.

Of Walking
Oct 19 — Dec 22, 2013
Walking is one of humankind's most basic acts. As Rebecca Solnit has written, "the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series of thoughts. And so one aspect of the history of walking is the history of thinking made concrete-for the motions of the mind cannot be traced, but those of the feet can." The exhibition Of Walking will explore the concept of thinking (while walking) made concrete via the camera's lens and other means.

In recent times, the traditional nuclear family has expanded to incorporate a range of relationships. Including a vast and fluid network of in-laws, half-siblings, acquaintances and partners, the idea of the ‘family’ is also found across numerous disciplines, from scientific systems of classification to the genealogies of language and culture.

Traveling around the world with a camera in hand for the past decade, the talented young artist has accumulated a personal archive of thousands of images of people crossing streets, taking public transportation, gathering for events, and caught in a variety of moments of movement and repose.
