Possible Impossibilities is a collaborative exhibition by German mixed media artist Hanna ten Doornkaat and Dutch photographer Shiba Huizer. With their artistic styles diverging significantly their collaboration illustrates the aphorism ‘opposites attract’.
The exhibition echoes Aristotle’s belief in the probability of impossibilities by emphasising their allure and by embracing the concept of likely impossibilities over improbable possibilities.
Hanna ten Doornkaat’s recent works are an exploration of unfamiliar territory blending the clean process of minimalism with more organic elements. She is interested in the gap between idea and reality. Her aim is to minimise emotional gestures and to reject anonymous perfection in favour of preserving her unique imprint.
Shiba Huizer is an intuitive photographer who uses subcultural references inspired by her family history in 1960s Curaçao to create a new vision of male beauty and Dutch colonial history.
As Huizer continues to navigate the dynamic landscape of photography her journey is characterised by a dedication to celebrating diversity challenging conventions and exploring the fluidity of gender and identity through her lens.
Huizer attended the Rietveld Academie Amsterdam where she studied art and design but eventually graduated with a degree in photography. She has seven years’ experience teaching photography and digital media at the University of Amsterdam. She has exhibited widely in art galleries throughout the Netherlands with assignments ranging from fine art portraits to fashion editorials for a number of magazines.
In 2008 she moved to London to study fashion photography at the London College of Fashion (LCF). She was awarded an MA (distinction) and in 2011 received the MA Fashion Design and Technology Award in Media.
Possible Impossibilities is part of a series of exhibitions hosted by White Noise Projects a group of emerging and mid-career artists who showcase meticulously chosen artworks through a series of group and solo exhibitions.
Established in 2017 by mixed media artist Hanna ten Doornkaat and painter Annamarie Dzendrowskyj the collective curates exhibitions centred around themes pertinent to contemporary artistic practice and in response to exhibition spaces that surpass the idea of the white cube.
Possible Impossibilities runs concurrently with Chromatic Journey a solo exhibition by Jennifer Talbot.
