NO HARM DONE

NOAH LATIF LAMP & CIRO DUCLOS | NO HARM DONE
“A rock only hurts, when you hit your head on it.
What do you do to your environment and how does she return the favour?”
INDEBT is excited to present No Harm Done, a duo show featuring Noah Latif Lamp and Ciro Duclos, curated by Simon Becks and Emil Rosi Lanz. The exhibition negotiates close combat coexistence, material relations and context expectations. Duclos’s and Lamp's sculptural works are pitted against each other. Exploring notions of transgression, exclusion and creation.
Indebt founders Ciro Duclos and Noah Latif Lamp have creatively taken over a 600m2 gas holder located in the heart of Oostpoort, a yuppy new residential area bordering Amsterdam-Oost and Watergraafsmeer. Having worked together on their separate artistic practices within various shared studios over the past decade, Duclos and Lamp naturally share a similar frame of reference. Their spatial works serve as a lens to perceive the nuanced differences and similarities between their approaches
For the exhibition the space is transformed into a three-floor showroom, where the curation plays with apparent dichotomies in art presentation: the studio versus the gallery space; the juxtaposition of new and old; and the interplay between collaboration and competition. Through these diverse perspective new interpretations and meanings appear.
Ciro Duclos (1991) is a Dutch Peruvian artist with a fascination for industrial materials, everyday objects and the experience of space. Noah Latif Lamp (1991), third generation from a lineage of Surinamese artists, is a self-taught, art school dropout, whose work is often described as a harsh reflection of real life, action and gesture.
No Harm Done was kindly supported by the Mondriaan Fonds.
