Clothing and fashion have held Tanja de Haan’s attention for many years. Gradually, her focus shifted towards clothing as an autonomous  object. Since then, Tanja has been making Dolls.

DOLLS is her second solo exhibition and her first at Galerie Noord, presenting mainly new work. She enjoys working with seemingly ordinary materials, ‘things that are already there’: plastic rubbish bags, cords, videotapes. Objects she has kept for years, such as business cards, books and diaries, also come into consideration for a new life as a Doll.

For this exhibition, Tanja created several Dolls from videotapes donated by the Groninger Archives. Fragments of Groningen’s history, a selection of which can also be experienced as moving images.

Galerie Noord.

Galerie Noord is een expositieruimte in hartje Groningen. Vierwekelijks bieden we kunstenaars uit het Noorden de mogelijkheid recent werk te tonen, solo of in kleine groepen. Galerie Noord richt zich op autonoom, experimenteel en onderzoekend werk in vrijwel alle disciplines. We willen bezoekers verrassen door tentoonstellingen te bieden met een wisselend karakter. 
 
Galerie Noord wordt volledig gerund door vrijwilligers. In 1997 werd de galerie opgericht als kunstenaarsinitiatief.
