Jan Hoek and Boris Mikhailov: Jan 鈾� Boris
Galerie Ron Mandos is proud to present the special collaborative exhibition Jan 鈾� Boris with works by Jan Hoek and Diary by Boris Mikhailov, curated by Paul Kooiker. The top ten photographs shot between 2011 and 2016 by Hoek, as chosen by Kooiker, will be shown alongside a selection of photos from Mikhailov鈥檚 captivating books Diary and Look at Me I Look at Water; presenting a glimpse into the artist鈥檚 personal view on his complete oeuvre.
The exhibition features social observational photography from two major artists, whose combined works span decades, nations and communities. The connection made with the photographed subjects is of utmost importance in the work that both Hoek and Mikhailov produce, and the trust between the subject and the artist is vital in this process. Without the establishment of trust, these works could never come into existence.
Although both artists have been known to push the ethical boundaries of photography, they are able to depict aspects of life and society with a rare rawness that is often touching, humorous and uninhibited all at once.
