Evolution de l'Art- work by Andreas Templin available

opening 09.12. Evolution de l'Art (EdlA). New branch at Het Blauwe Huis [The Blue House] Amsterdam. Work available by Andreas Templin.



The gallery Evolution de l'Art (EdlA) arises from a collaboration
between SPACE projects/residency lab/store, Bratislava, and Cesare
Pietroiusti. Evolution de l'Art is a commercial gallery for
contemporary art which only sells artworks that are immaterial, with
no physical residue, and it does not release certificates of
authenticity, nor statements or receipts. EdlA will represent, on a
non-exclusive basis, artists whose artwork is, at least in the case of
some specific projects, alien from any physical-material component.
Beyond this condition, there will not be any other limitation or
requisite for represented artists in terms of medium or technique.
The curator of this exhibition is Yasser Ballemans. Details on the exhibition, the opening and the offered artwork can be found at evolutiondelart.org
