Friday October 14th 2021 |TUNED IN MELODIES I by Trees Heil  Trees Heil (1993, The Netherlands) makes photos, installations, performances and short videos. The works show temporary constructed situations in which spaces, people and their behavior are given a new, poetic context. By using materials including plaster, jute, hair and paint, the people who are photographed are transformed into different shapes. Heil examines the fluidity of man and themes such as identity and intimacy are explored. The intuitive and personal working process is expressed in a magical-realistic, playful visual language.

Friday October 1st 2021 | 'HEB je HAAST ofZO?' by Marc Elisabeth & Jan Modaal
"Ik heb geen tijd", zegt hij. "Maar waarde vrind, je hebt precies even veel tijd als ik!" "Ja, ja lieve betweter. Ik heb gewoon geen tijd." "Het is al goed, mijn tijdloze kameraad." "I have no time," he says. "But dear friend, you have exactly as much time as I do!" "Yes, yes dear mr. know-it-all. I just don't have time." "It's all right, my timeless friend." 'HEB je HAAST ofZO?' is a chunky cross-pollination between Marc Elisabeth and Jan Modaal. Their meeting in a Brabant monastery marked the beginning of a tumultuous and crumbly friendship. With live music by JAN MODAAL. |
Friday September 17th 2021 | 'SUPER SUPER SUPER' by Bonno van Doorn
The SUPER series started in 2019, during my 3-month residency at Calcutta Art Research Foundation (CRAF) in Kolkata. While exploring the Ballygunge neighborhood, I stumbled upon a brick with the word ‘SUPER’ imprinted on it. Back in my studio I made printouts and did several experiments. Also I took the brick to the outskirts of Kolkata to make an impression in aluminum. As a bricklayer, my grandfather laid many bricks in the streets of Amsterdam. The SUPER series are somehow a tribute to him. The original SUPER works were shown in the exhibition 'All Along The Watchtower' at STUDIO21 (CIMA gallery). With the help of curator Manas Acharya and artist Sumantra Mukherjee. With the generous support of the Mondriaan Fund. During the residency I also made a sketch blog on www.doornstruik.nlThe blog reflects the atmosphere and my ideas during the time I spent at CARF in Kolkata. The SUPER works on show at ART BAR KIPPY are experiments made in my studio in Amsterdam. And are for sale during the exhibition. |
Friday September 10th 2021 | ‘Carborundum 80’ by Anan Striker
For Art Bar Kippy, Anan Striker (Assen, NL, 1988) will make a mural inside of the bar. He developed a small edition of lithographical prints that will be for sale at Kippy, and invited his father for a textual contribution. During the opening Striker will serve you a few audio-tapes through his by now legendary tapedeck performance. From 22:00 on his partner in crime, Mike Moonen, will complete the show with some crazy tunes in the Space of Sexyland. Fascinated by everyday life, Anan Striker draws inspiration from sports, music, typography, love and art. He does not allow himself to be limited to one subject, but combines let's say an event in life, an unexpected meeting, ‘gossip’, an Ajax victory or a found object. Striker intuitively translates them into drawings, sculptures and paintings. With an eye for detail, not losing sight of the big gesture. In this way Striker makes poetic, alienating adaptations of reality. Zo je aan kijken toekomt, het een en het ander, voor het grijpen ligt, prijkt de toets de toets, voor het oog verlopen, waar het oneindige, lacht, niets teveel is, de hoed de rand kent, het brood de tafel, het woord staart, en droomt, om water naar de zee, te dragen, nu de maan even tevoorschijn komt, zo zo als clown, in de nacht, de stad |
Friday July 30th 2021 | "She wears a hemispherical skull cap" by Cavenecia & Nauta
Imagine two people having a very long conversation. There is a common thread in the conversation, but you are constantly taken down all kinds of sidetracks, dead ends, associations and references. It is a conversation with endless footnotes, little thoughts that are inside big thoughts. In this exhibition we, Isabel Cavenecia and Bernice Nauta, have used this form of conversation, storytelling and thinking, as a method for making drawings. The first drawing we both made is a response to a sentence and the title of this exhibition: “She wears a hemispherical skull cap”. From there we’ve drawn the next thought, and so on. The beauty of drawing is that you can trace someone's individual thoughts and micro-decisions very clearly. In this sense, each drawing is a record or document of the artist's thought process. The result is a genealogy of thought processes and conversation, recorded in the series of drawings. |
Friday July 16th 2021 | "Oh Martin, what to do with you?" by Kiek Nieuwint
Kiek Nieuwint's research raises questions about intentional and unintentional creation, the visual presence and absence. The presence of the viewers body and the way the body experiences art, plays an active part in the realization of her work. Materials are subject to change, through manipulation, deconstruction and transformation. In search for links between the shed of Sexyland, Art Bar Kippy, and the shed of Kippenberger’s parents, Kiek went to the garden of his childhood home. As a womb for nightmares and concerns about the outside world, the intimate space of the shed could take many shapes. A place to escape and reflect on what’s going on elsewhere, or to be confronted with the obscurities inside ourselves.

Friday June 25th 2021 | All the Leaves of Kippy's Forest by Yasser Ballemans
For Art Bar Kippy Yasser Ballemans made an installation with the title ‘All the Leaves of Kippy’s Forest’. Inspired by the work of Martin Kippenberger ‘Jetzt geh ich im den Birkenwald denn meine Pillen wirken bald’, which is part of the collection of Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. As a visual artist Ballemans is interested in the role of art in rituals, such as parades, campfires, carnival and commemorations. He researches how ornaments, decorations and “old-fashioned” techniques can be used in a contemporary way. |
Friday March 6th 2020 | Rothko’s Motorcycle Barn by Wouter Klein Velderman
What’s the rhythm of Rothko? Can we dance on Red, white and brown? Will the yellowish white make us clap our hands? Or do we rather lay down in the straw and listen? Drum wizard Nina de Jong and PVC whisperer Wouter Klein Velderman will take you to another place and another time: Rothko’s Motorcycle Barn, a place where all colours have their own sound, rhythm and pace. Nina de Jong is drummer of the band Spill Gold, a psychedelic band that unwinds vivid, spiralling stories with their eerie yet persistent songs, bringing listeners into a trance-like state. Next to music she creates big sculptural costumes and initiates projects in neighbourhoods in which habitants connect by making their own instruments, costumes and play music together, mostly ending up in a parade. Wouter Klein Velderman uses PVC fabric as a material to sculpt and to draw. Within his professional practice, Klein Velderman has his sculptures accompanied by dance, performance, dialogue, a lecture or written text. Teaching at art academies, the Academy for Theater and Dance and giving workshops to people who are a bit further away from the art world very much contributes to the creation of his sculptures within the artistic research.

Saturday December 21st 2019 | La Santeria de Sonora by Laila van Berge
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 2019 | THE CREEPER by Kitty Maria and Alban Karsten
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 by Jim Mooijekind
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. |

Friday November 22nd | Ursula & Armageddon by Frederique Jonker and Danielle Hoogendoorn
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 |

"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 |
