Featuring artists from across GRIMM’s network and beyond, presents a challenge to this selection of acclaimed contemporary artists to apply their distinctive style to the framework of self-portraiture. The resulting work enacts a shared moment of recognition between artist and viewer, reflecting the spectrum of emotion from introspective to joyful encounters throughout the exhibition.
The self-portraits presented across GRIMM’s New York and Amsterdam spaces are direct, lively, intimate, and authentic, true to our contemporary confessional age. Taking a classical, painterly approach, as opposed to the ‘anything goes' trend from the 1980s to the 2000s, when performance, video, and photography dominated the genre, and where the self-portrait seemed to focus on sound, the body (or part thereof), or a comment on a general metaphysical state, the works included here are the result of painters looking directly at themselves and depicting what they see. For some artists, the exhibition marks their first self-portrait; Matthias Weischer and Alex Dordoy among them. Others, such as Philip Akkerman, have made a career out of limiting their practice to only painting self-portraits.
The exhibition aims to capture a ‘state of being’ at this specific moment in time for each artist. In the era of the ‘selfie’, taken on a daily basis by millions to present a veneer of success, experience, beauty, or aspiration - the true sense of ’self’ can be overlooked or masked. The self-portrait offers the potential to reflect not only the surface but also the psychological interior of the artist, adapting to each artist’s distinctive voice. A group exhibition about self-portraiture in 2024, featuring young and mid-career artists engaging with this centuries-old practice of self-reflection and contemplation seems apt, provocative, and challenging.
In New York, will feature work by Philip Akkerman, Charles Avery, Gabriella Boyd, Anthony Cudahy, Alex Dordoy, Louise Giovanelli, Tommy Harrison, Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Neo Matloga, Rosalind Nashashibi, Polina Pak, Emil Sands, Benjamin Sasserson, and Rafał Topolewski.
Meanwhile in Amsterdam, will present new work by artists, including Hannah van Bart, Volker Hüller, Nathaniel Oliver, Christine Safa, Anj Smith, Jonathan Wateridge, Matthias Weischer, and Arisa Yoshioka.

It came on September 19, 2017. The Metropolitan Museum is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, through the clever capture, the collection of cultural relics and artworks from all civilizations around the world is mostly representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe every visitor will feel mixed here. The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on all continents, because the history of the collection is known to everyone, so the exhibition is very simple and rude, that is, put a civilized thing in a place, there is no good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display. There are a lot of collections here, if you want to look good, it takes a day or two. The museum is right next to Central Park, and two places can also be arranged to visit in a day, half a day in the park, half a day in the museum.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
