In an exhausting durational performance that ends in a lecture, Jeroen Jongeleen will run from his studio in Rotterdam to his current exhibition in Brussels, to give a talk about his practice. This means running nearly [removed] marathons consecutively.
His expected arrival time is 17:30 on June 28th.
We hope you will join us to cheer him on as he approaches the gallery and for a subsequent discussion with an artist who has literally left all of his energy on the road behind him, before remarkably mustering up some more.
Jeroen Jongeleen and Harlan Levey Projects would like to thank all of the partners who supported this performance.
Traces, Shapes, Squares and Circles, a solo exhibition by Jeroen Jongeleen runs until July 13th. Please contact the gallery to receive a digital catalogue or information about works, which are still available.
About Jeroen Jongeleen
Jeroen Jongeleen (1967, NL) moved to Rotterdam in 1997. One of his first interventions in his adopted city was to spray the word ‘HOME’ on the outside wall of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. He was arrested for this action, but it was the start of a close relationship with the museum and in 1999, he was invited to participate the group exhibition Exorcism/Aesthetic Terrorism (Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen). In 2003, Jongeleen moved to Paris where he stayed at Atelier Holboer. Here he expanded his contact with the Paris pre-street art scene resulting in the ‘Art of Urban Warfare.’ Jongeleen’s street interventions previously carried the project name “influenza”, in connotation of his repeated attacks on the well-oiled social body, and as qualification of the development of his artistic practice as a self-reflexive exercise engaged in feeding its own momentum.
Recent solo exhibitions include those at Upstream Gallery (2012), Stichting Fort Asperen, Acquoy (2011) and Galeria Stereo, Poznàn (2009). Jongeleen’s work has been included in numerous group exhibitions, notably ‘Mapping the Horizon’ at Upstream gallery, ‘Paramaribo Perspectives,’ Tent Rotterdam (2010) ‘Crop Rotation’ at Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York (2008), ‘Umbau’ at Kunsthalle St. Gallen, Switzerland (2007), ‘Brave New World, ’Cobra Museum voor Moderne kunst, Amstelveen, ‘SCAPE 06’, the Biennial of Art in Public Space, Christchurch, New Zealand (2006), ‘That was then, this is now’ at De Appel, Amsterdam (2006), ‘Project Rotterdam’ at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2005), Prague Biennale 1 (2003) and ‘Hardcore’ at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2003). Under the umbrella of ‘Influenza,’ Jongeleen also participated in seminal urban art events ‘Backjumps’ in Berlin (2003, 2004, 2005) and ‘Urban Edge’ in Milan (2005).
