GALERIE GALLERY x PETER & KAYLA

galerie Gallery
galerie Gallery is a project space in the south of Rotterdam located in the apartment of artist Jan Huijben. Set up in 2009, the program was initially meant to take place in a small exhibition space in a spare bedroom of six by six meters, in which invited artists could show their works. Due to the unusual layout of a gallery in a living space, artists have started exhibiting their work through the entire apartment. This has included the bedroom, living room, kitchen and even the bathroom. Since its inception as a single exhibition space Galerie Gallery has expended to include the whole apartment.

Peter Kalisch and KaylaTange
Kayla Tange and Peter Kalisch are performance and visual artists based in Los Angeles. They have been frequent collaborators for the past few years, working and assisting one another in performance, video production, sculpture and more. Kalisch's work is based on the need for vulnerability to come to the forefront of our discussions about art. Kalisch's work is also inspired by the notion that we are in a time of decadence in the West, implying the impending fall of Western civilization.

Boundaries, transformation, memory and redefining ancestral trauma are recurring themes in Tange's work, where public spaces transform into a container to examine patterns. The life of each participant becomes a vital element in an immersive narrative - combining movement, music and more recently sculpture, video and installation.

Their work intersects primarily when the notion of vulnerability comes into play, and both use the audience as vessels to encourage others to be more vulnerable and authentic.
