WIllem Kolvoort - Posters voor Vera

ENG

The silkscreen prints by Willem Kolvoort, the well-known poster printer of pop venue VERA in Groningen, are playful, imaginative and humorous. Kolvoort designed and printed no less than 500 posters in a career spanning more than thirty years with VERA. The idiosyncratic design is often brutal, but the use of animal figures also means something endearing.

Many pop venues in Europe use silkscreen-print posters for their announcements, but those of VERA in Groningen have been on the highest plan for years. Within this, Kolvoort’s posters are the most idiosyncratic.

The exhibition contains 36 works selected by Willem Kolvoort himself and can be seen from January 10 to June 7, 2020.

Book
Together with the opening of the exhibition, the book Willem Kolvoort – 30 jaar VERA Posters: a total overview of all the posters that Kolvoort printed for VERA is published. Pop journalist Peter van der Heide and writer Bill Mensema provide the texts for the book. Earlier, Kolvoort published the LP Where the Candybeetle dwells…, on which various artists paid tribute to the screen printer.

 

NL

De zeefdrukken van Willem Kolvoort, de bekende posterdrukker van poppodium VERA in Groningen, zijn speels, fantasievol en humoristisch. Kolvoort ontwierp en drukte in zijn ruim dertig jaar lange carrière bij VERA maar liefst 500 posters. De eigenzinnige vormgeving is vaak brutaal, maar door het gebruik van dierenfiguren gaat er ook iets vertederends van uit. 

Veel poppodia in Europa gebruiken zeefdrukposters voor hun aankondigingen, maar die van VERA in Groningen staan al jaren op het hoogste plan. Daarbinnen zijn de posters van Kolvoort het meest eigenzinnig. 

De tentoonstelling bevat 36 werken door hem zelf geselecteerde zeefdrukken en is te zien van 10 januari tot en met 7 juni 2020. 

Boek
Tegelijk met de opening van de tentoonstelling verschijnt het boek Willem Kolvoort – 30 jaar VERA Posters: een totaaloverzicht van alle posters die Kolvoort voor VERA drukte. Popjournalist Peter van der Heide en schrijver Bill Mensema verzorgen de teksten voor het boek. Eerder verscheen er van Kolvoort de lp Where the Candybeetle dwells…, waarop verschillende artiesten een eerbetoon aan de zeefdrukker brachten.
