David Hoffos: Scenes from the House Dream
Curated by Shirley Madill
September 10 – December 31, 2010
David Hoffos’ ongoing practice explores the uncanny and
its relationship to the everyday; he creates narratives
that transcend time and place. In Scenes from the House
Dream, as with all previous work, Hoffos forms a pact with
the viewer; he asks us to suspend disbelief and enter his
world. What we find there may both disturb and delight.

Stefan Hoffmann
Presented in collaboration with Printopolis: international
symposium on printmaking, presented by
Open Studio
October 21 – 31, 2010
Stefan Hoffmann is a German-born artist based in Rotterdam.
Using water-based inks, Hoffmann screenprints directly
onto various surfaces including windows, walls and
billboards. Drawing upon imagery including pictograms,
medical illustrations and 17th century emblem books,
he also incorporates visual elements sourced from each
working location. Every project involves a gradual evolution
of imagery through the combining of new and existing
screens, allowing the public to follow the creative process
over time.
