Two artists' collectives in former bread factories – one here in Ottawa and the other in The Hague. Both founded in 1992 by recent art graduates from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and respective from the Ottawa University. What a coincidence – or probably fate? Now, works by Quartair Contemporary Art Initiatives artists are on view at the Enriched Bread Artists (EBA) in an outstanding exhibition.

EBA will host that special exhibition, Dutch Settlement, organized by Quartair artists. Some of whom will be present. The participants are inspired by various meanings of the word ‘settlement’, from the oldest villages in the Low Countries to the founding of communities of colonists and labour immigrants in ‘the New World’.
Artists participating in Dutch Settlement are: Marlies Adriaanse, Harold de Bree, Paul Donker Duyvis,Geeske Harting, Rens Krikhaar, Erik-Jan Ligtvoet, Ingrid Mol, Pepijn van den Nieuwendijk, Jessy Theo Rahman, Pietertje van Splunter, Thom Vink.
This exchange will continue in The Hague this August when fifteen EBA artists will create an exhibition in Quartair’s gallery space in The Hague.
Mark your calenders: The opening is this Friday!
