Thank you everyone for the fantastic opening of my exhibition "Everyday Japan" at the Oude RKZ.  My compliments to Ingrid, who made a delicious Japanese meal and served Japanese snacks until midnight!  We enjoyed your manga workshop a lot Marjolein de Jong, children as well as adults.🍀.
I want to thank Piyojo, Møzaika and Loekie, and our last-minute guests Gijs Deddens and Susan Kooi for the music. It was an honour to have you! Philo Ouweleen, thank you for warmly welcoming everyone. I wonder how many of our guests will start a vending machine business in Japan !
Special thanks to everyone who helped in the kitchen and behind the bar. Without you we couldn't have done this!

And all of you who visited, thank you very much! It was lovely to meet new people and see friends and acquaintances.😊🙏

In 2018 is het 100 jaar geleden dat in de stad Groningen de kunstenaarsvereniging De Ploeg werd opgericht. Centraal stond het revolutionaire karakter van de beweging. Ter ere van dit 100-jarig bestaan heeft het Groninger Museum een prachtige expositie samengesteld.
Het Groninger Forum greep de gelegenheid aan om op zoek te gaan naar de nieuwe revolutionairen van deze tijd en komt met een spraakmakende groepstentoonstelling Een Schop Onder De Ploeg.
De opening wordt verricht door Han Steenbruggen, directeur-conservator van Museum Belvédère. Hij zal ingaan op de jonge revolutionaire kunstenaars van nu. Wat zijn hun drijfveren? Zijn ze schatplichtig aan De Ploeg? Wat brengt de toekomst?
De kunstenaars:
Jan Hamstra | Jannes Bürkner | Joyce ter Weele | Lisa Damstra | Mathieu Keuter van Lewenborg | Oscar Venema | Wim Warrink | Yana Poppe | Zkumm

Tentoonstellingsperiode: 23 oktober t/m 6 januari 2019

Dear readers,

In 2013 I was 'Artist in Residence' in the beautiful village of Mino in Japan. This AiR came to a halt in 2016, but still offers assistance to self-funded artists.
This year a special exhibition showcases handmade paper Etegami works by past participants of the Mino Artist in Residence. My picture letter will be among more than 50 other Etegami art works.
 
Etegami (e means picture and tegami means letter/ message) consists of a simple drawing accompanied by a few words on a postcards to be mailed to one’s friends.  

If you are in Japan, try to take a detour and visit Mino, known for its quality handmade paper and Edo-period streets with 'udatsu' roofs. And please feel welcome to enjoy the many beautiful Etegami at studio Yoshida

Dates: Wed. 21 March – Sun. 25 March
Time: 10:00 – 16:00
Place: Studio Yoshida (next to former Imai Residence)

Dear readers,

I am so thankful for the wonderful opportunity of showing my latest series 'Japanese vending machine' at the Martini Ziekenhuis in Groningen. If you are around or would like to visit my exhibition, please leave a message and I'd love to come and explain more about this series.  Otherwise, you can find my paintings at the 'orange corridor', route 0.8. 
​
✿​You have the chance to visit the exhibition until April 9th✿

I am also happy to announce that I have printed the images from this series on postcards which are for sale. If you are interested in purchasing them, you can leave a message here or write to yanapoppe@gmail.com

If you would like to know about my recent doings, I update my process quite regularly on  Instagram.

A total of 12 postcards. 

Sunday the 12th of July is the opening of my solo exhibition 'Gloss Over' at Wunderkammer in Amsterdam. 'Gloss Over' can mean to 'make attractive' and even 'to cover up'. Or just something that leaves a glossy shine.
I am inspired by Japanese culture, the architecture and landscape. Though I suspect that Japanese culture and architecture aren't two separate matters. I would like to refer to the essay "In praise of shadows' by Junichiro Tanizaki.
At Wunderkammer I will show my latest linocut and woodcut prints. The square shape is derived from the latticework of the Japanese shojiscreen (the shojiscreen can be seen in my previous woodcut prints also at Wunderkammer). Furthermore there will be paper light-objects and paintings, one of which will be shown for the first time.
Looking out of the windows in Japan in 2014, the view of the mountains was 'disrupted' by electricity cables. This 'cutting through' space and dealing with it on a two dimensional plane has been my subject of study for quite a while.
The things that are around us everyday, but we hardly pay attention to. Things that you find ugly or simply necessary. I think that everything should be beautiful. And to be true, I don't find it hard to imagine.
I hope to see you at the opening!

Solo Exhibition 'Gloss Over'
Where: Wunderkammer in Amsterdam.
