Heineken Prize for Art, the biggest visual art prize in the Netherlands.ДЇrom NovemвЂ“ Aphe was the subject of a career survey show at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam titledВ Remy Jungerman: Behind the Forest. Placing fragments of Maroon textiles and other materials found in the African diaspora-the kaolin clay used in several religious traditions or the nails featured in Nkisi Nkondi power sculpture-in direct contact with materials and imagery drawn from more вЂњestablishedвЂќ art traditions, Jungerman presents a peripheral vision that enriches our perspective on art history. In his work, Jungerman explores the intersection of pattern and symbol in Surinamese Maroon culture, the larger African diaspora, and 20th century Modernism.

He attended the Academy for Higher Arts and Cultural Studies in Paramaribo, Surinam, before moving to Amsterdam where he studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

Remy Jungerman (1959) lives and works in Amsterdam. JungermanвЂ™s assemblages and sculptures will therefore be shown side-by-side with artworks by some of the most important international artists working today, including Anila Quayyum Agha, Dinh Q. Comprised of twenty-three artworks and installations in a wide variety of media, from metalwork and ceramics to rugs and mosaics, Tradition Interrupted explores the work of international artists who merge traditional craft with contemporary ideas and processes. His work will also be put in dialogue with the KMAвЂ™s main summer exhibition, Tradition Interrupted. JungermanвЂ™s exhibition Higher Ground will be sited in the KMAвЂ™s spacious Atrium, as well as in the MuseumвЂ™s project gallery, a space for innovative contemporary installations. Where the River Runs, a comprehensive monograph of JungermanвЂ™s work, was published by Jap Sam Books in 2020. The artist is represented by Fridman Gallery in New York, which organized Brilliant Corners, JungermanвЂ™s first solo exhibition in the United States (April 7 вЂ“ May 15, 2021). Jungerman is the subject of a career survey show at the Stedelijk Museum, Remy Jungerman: Behind the Forest (November 20, 2021-April 10, 2022). In 2008 he received the Fritschy Culture Award from the Museum het Domein, Sittard, The Netherlands. In 2017 he was nominated for the Black Achievement Award in The Netherlands. Jungerman represented the Netherlands at the 2019 Venice Biennale with Iris Kensmil. Through these works, Jungerman also poses a challenge to established art historical hierarchies the canonвЂ™s age-old denigration of non-Western art.

Both abstracted altars and compositions that recall the orthogonal aesthetics of Dutch De Stijl, these constructions, like all of JungermanвЂ™s carefully-considered works, draw seemingly disparate visual and cultural languages into conversation with one another. The exhibition includes aВ selection from JungermanвЂ™s three major bodies of work: wall-hung or free-standing three-dimensional assemblages (which the artist calls вЂњhorizontalsвЂќ and вЂњverticalsвЂќ), stacked вЂњcubes,вЂќ and fabric-covered вЂњpanels.вЂќ Through these self-imposed formal constraints, as well as a limited vocabulary of carefully-chosen materials, Jungerman explores connections between pattern and symbol in Surinamese Maroon culture and European вЂњmodernism.вЂќДЇor instance, вЂњHorizontalsвЂќ are composed of slats of varying length, width, and color, stacked atop one another and topped with small panels skim-coated with kaolin, a white clay from the artistвЂ™s native Suriname. 1959), who lives and works in Amsterdam and New York.
