Quartair’s closing exhibition of 2024 is an ode to The Hague’s art scene. The title refers not only to local talents, but also to the different hues, or the subjectivity of each participating artist. The exhibition, curated by Annemieke Louwerens, presents works from different disciplines by artists either born or currently based in the city. From recently graduated KABK alumni to some of the longest established artists, what connects them is their playful creative processes.
Photography, paintings, sculptures, installations and video works come together in a dynamic symbiosis, where each work bears its own story while engaging in a dialogue with the other works in the space. By presenting these pieces side by side, a cross-pollination will occur, where new meanings and interpretations may be born. The public is invited to explore the interrelations that will emerge from this context.
During the opening, on November 23, dancer Charlie Skuy (NDT) performed among the artworks. During Hoogtij, on November 29, dancer Ève-Marie Dalcourt performed a choreography by Dimo Milev.

Ellen Endhoven and Dwight Marica studied at the Willem de Koooning, having graduated in 1997. Dwight was the founder of Cucosa, Rotterdam (1998-2012). In 2012 Ellen started Portable Collective after years organising underground exhibitions. For nine years they have been sharing a studio and collaborating under the moniker Marica Endhoven. In Eigen beweging they show an overview of their artworks at both Quartair and Ruimtevaart.
Opening on Friday, 16 September at 20.00, doors open at 19:00
About the artists The city, people and society are an inexhaustible source of inquiry for Ellen Endhoven’s works. In her collages, drawings, paintings, murals, stickers, animations, 3D objects and installations one sees, at first glance, everyday things. Though if you look further, you will see a representation of our human shortcomings and unrealistic expectations. In 2019 she started to create intricate ink-drawings of waves. They evolved during the pandemic, with all debates, beliefs, and the rise of fake news, while the world had stopped. This context helped her develop more abstract works. Besides the social aspect in the work it also tackles environmental questions.
Dwight Marica explores new techniques and insights, in search of the most suitable expression, to arrive at new art forms. An important guiding principle in his work is the investigation of the absolutely abstract, through physics and psychology. “I want to continue to amaze the audience, but especially myself, by letting us experience performances that are written in a new, developing visual language. I try to scare reality, stretch its boundaries, activate the mind, to add something timeless to reality.”

Een tentoonstelling over schilderkunst samengesteld door een schilder. De Haagse schilder Nies Vooijs kreeg de beschikking over maar liefst twee kunstenaarsinitiatieven om een tentoonstelling samen te stellen. Onder de titel robe blue, fond rouge, (de titel verwijst naar een schilderij van Henri Matisse) heeft Vooijs een heel persoonlijke keuze gemaakt van schilderkunst uit meerdere generaties. Naast gevestigde namen ook werk van de in 2019 overleden Marion van Rooij. Deze oud klasgenoot van Vooijs werkte 40 jaar in haar atelier maar trad nooit naar buiten met haar werk.
