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. |

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 |

Initiated because - to use their own words: 'The city of Amsterdam nowadays lacks a worthy art pub where artists, curators, gallerists, art lovers and friends can come together in an informal way while enjoying art and beer.' 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.
