OPENING with performance June 6, 18:00
FILM SCREENINGS June 7 and 8, 19:00
We are happy to invite you to Islam Kant’s solo show The Veils at Vrij Paleis, Amsterdam. The Veils is a series of paintings based on exploration of the spiritual practices of sufism. The starting points of artist’s research were the sufis concepts of ghayba and ḥuḍūr (absence and presence) and al-hijāb (the veil). Within abstract painting medium Islam Kant presents different levels of veils that stand in the way of discovering spiritual light.
The exhibition opening will take a form of a performative experience with music and movement.
On Friday June 7 we will show No nation without culture, a short documentary film by Vladlena Sandu
On Saturday June 8 we invite you to see Three Comrades, a documentary film by Masha Novikova
