‘THE REMAINS OF THE 1900 LONDON CONVENTION’

We are excited to announce our new exhibition opens on 25 May at the Vrije Academie in Amsterdam.

‘The Remains of the 1900 London Convention’ exhibition is an indictment against 122 years of international politics. It focuses on the first multilateral treaty on wildlife by European colonial powers that attempted to protect wild animals. However, the agreements that resulted from the convention were signed but never ratified by the attending countries. Ironically, 120 years of ‘animal protection’ has in fact marked the period where human activity has pushed biodiversity to the edge.

‘The Remains’ is a series of animal skeletons based on ancient marble sculptures. The collection is an homage to the beauty of the remains of the creatures, which we argue was – and is - our responsibility as humans to protect. Most of the animals shown are on the endangered species list and some of them are species on the edge of extinction.

As well as the skeleton collection, there is also a new multimedia photo-collection, for which we collaborated with Naturalis, the renowned Museum of Natural History in Leiden. These predominantly black-and-white art prints feature the skulls and bones of endangered species in a highly contemporary way.

LOCATION:
De Vrije Academie, Huis Vasari, Herengracht 368, 1016 CH Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Saint Joseph’s Arts Society is housed in a completely renovated church in San Francisco. It is dedicated to supporting the best in Fine Art, design, food, fashion and performance. Darwin, Sinke and van Tongeren were invited by Ken Fulk to do the very first art exhibition in this magnificent place. Especially for this show they created the St. Joseph’s Bears to create a show stopping entrance. Besides that the two photo collections ‘Unknown Poses’ and ‘Les Peintures des Taxidermistes’ are shown. Also, under the mezzanine, one of their Fine Taxidermy works called ‘Inferno Equus’ is displayed. More information on the exhibit will follow. Photo’s are shown on Instagram @finetaxidermy
