Saturday January 11th | SPLITTER SPLATTER
Splitter Splatter is a multidisciplinary artist based between Amsterdam and the Veluwe nature reserve. She is often inspired by nature and works with symbolic, surrealist shapes and totems that reference rituals, the subconscious and the absurd. In a playful and intuitive way, she creates costumes, music, videos, set designs, ceramics, and wall hangers to build her colorful worlds. |
Saturday December 21st | La Santeria de Sonora
Mercado de Sonora is a witch market in CDMX / Mexico City. For Kippy, Laila will open a shop for the spiritual, sensual en secular. A place where Jesus and naked women can go hand in hand. Within her practice, Laila plays in a field of belief and desire, wanders where the sacral and secular meet. Wherein symbols and narratives are embodied by idols and icons, shaped by locality and cliches. Myth is created by commercial culture and in the religious realm. On the side you will be served a little Perreo-party mix and some Mexican mescal |
Friday December 13th | THE CREEPER
Alban Karsten and Kitty Maria show an installation binding their two recent films together in the crawl space of Art Bar Kippy. Both films investigate different methods of disaster retardation, and are shown welded together in a metal piece on chain. Their choice for metal alludes to the underground bar's feeling like a retreat for miners. The miner that is seen by Novalis as an astrologer in reverse, who plunges deep into the earth to uncover hidden origins. Alban Karsten is a sculptor and performance artist who explores the potential roles of the artist and his audience. His works are inquiries into the codes of labor and show, in which he usually assigns himself a task, duty or job. Kitty Maria videos and performances form an ongoing investigation into the automated production site and the new laborer. In her work she often temporarily befriends companies or shop to intervene in the places of labor or to submit to the production process herself. |
Saturday December 7th | MIND YOUR STEP
Jim Mooijekind works from themes he finds hard to grasp. Abstract concepts like his emotions, psychology, art as whole & his position within the arts. He symbolizes these abstract observations in a figurative cartoonesk manner. In this realm of symbolism there is a place being created where The Epic and mundane can co-exist. In the Stroboscope Paintings Mooijekind portrays the constant shifting between juxtapositions. Yin and Yang, black and white, Light and Darkness & boredom and fear. The fast phase wherein these Profiles change result in a hypnotic rhythm. A rhythm we all dance to. |

Danielle and Frederique created 'Sunday sessions' in their studios to go freestyle. During these sessions there is no pressure to make 'good' work. Often the best things arise there.

Now they take over Art Bar Kippy! ig: hoogendoorndanielle - ig: frederiquejonker |

Saturday October 19th | UNDERGROUND RESISTANCE by Marcel van den BERG
"Underground Resistance" is the title of a mural Marcel van den Berg made in Art Bar Kippy. The title refers to the techno collective from the Detroit scene of the 1990's. The industrial aggressive sound of "UR" has had a major influence on Van den Berg's work. The mural is a shout out to the sound of "UR" and to the underground and dissonant character of Art Bar Kippy. Marcel van den Berg (Alphen aan de Rijn, 1978) studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam and had a residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam (2013/2014). |

Saturday October 12th | SUDDEN FUN by Meeus van Dis ‘Constructed the answer to my questions, failed to apply accordingly.’ How we perceive the principle; alternately stimulating the right and the left brain in a controlled environment (EMDR) has changed immensely in the last 20 years. In 2014 I was offered the opportunity to undergo EMDR myself and found, not unexpectedly, an overlap within my fascination for dualism. A repetitive action and or the observation of this action (real-time or in retrospective) became the starting point for making work at Art Bar Kippy. Drinking alcohol is an effective way to strengthen or soften the harsh dividing line dualism provides, |
Friday October 4th | ALLES FEIN, ALLES KLAR by Niko Riedinger  In his own words: “Painting is like mental locomotion and physical talk. A primary, instinctive impulse. Dichotomic, heroic sages and a cut in stone, chubby descrial of my periphery. The wrung out water of a sponge. A predatory dead angle, like a fictitious space towards our know-how. Painting becomes virtually a paramilitary action. Being in trenches, carving through time and space. An energized phase transformation” Niko Riedinger was born in Germany and lives in the Netherlands. He graduated with a BFA at AKV St. Joost, Den Bosch in 2017. www.nikoriedinger.com |

At the opening, all three will show new work. The bar will serve its own brewed 'Kippy' beer, and will regularly organize exhibitions and events.
