6 Artists will show their new works in our new exhibition PINK with PRIDE 2018.
ENDLESS, René Zuiderveld, Chris Marmier, Holger Zimmerman, Ard Doko & R’JEAN.
Noteworthy is the work of the Rotterdam photographer R’JEAN.
His new collection, ‘Drag Royals – Each Side Has a Face’ is a series of photos of Drag Kings & Queens, half in the make-up and half a wig.
All manual work, there is no photo shop involved.
Finally we moved to our brand new gallery, not far from where we were located for 20 years: Marnixstraat 127 in Amsterdam.
The new location is still in the Jordaan, but much easier to access with public transport from Central Station and all other directions of the city (bus & tram stop across the gallery). We’re very happy being in this great authentic neighbourhood and our fantastic neighbours of ‘Duende Dos’, the famous Spanish tapas restaurant on the corner of Nieuwe Willemsstraat.
Our first exhibition is ‘PINK with PRIDE’, our annual Amsterdam GayPride exhibition. This exhibition shows the works of some young international talents, opening on Saturday July 15, 5 – 8 pm.
You will be welcomed by the Brothers Grimm.
Chris Marmier shows his new collection ‘Every day people..’ a humorous view on peoples lives.

‘Iedereen mag er zijn – Iedereen mag bekeken worden’
‘Everyone is beautiful, everyone has the right to be there’
The presentation of the photo book “Transfair” and Pete Statham’s performance will take place on Thursday, July 28th, from 6 to 8 pm.
Simona, the Italian former wrestler is transgender, and with her height and eccentric looks a striking appearance within the Amsterdam nightlife.
“I’ve had success in music and sports,” she says openly, “and enjoy being the centre of attention. There are people who are made to live in peace, and people who were born for the jet set lifestyle.”
The photo series ‘We all care…..Transfair’ by photographer Monique Shaw and art director Spekko on Amsterdam’s Simona is now bundled in the book ‘Transfair’. The phenomenal pictures create a living work of art of Simona, from which the viewer cannot take their eyes off.
During the Amsterdam Gay Pride / EuroPride 2016, in the presence of Simona, the first copy of ‘Transfair’ will be presented to Irene Hemelaar, director LGBTI-emancipation, from ‘Stichting Amsterdam Gay Pride’.
“I hope the way I express myself will encourage others to continue to fight for what they desire and want to achieve in their lives. After a long struggle, I am glad to be able to present myself as a strong woman”.
The limited edition photo book is for sale in the GO Gallery.

Peter Berlin’s solo show for Euro Pride will feature a stimulating collection of unique and hand edited vintage photographs and newer prints, where the artist portrays himself as the world’s first Selfie-photographer in erotic poses, both naked and clothed, in skin-tight outfits that he used to create for the shoots that left little to the imagination.
COWBOYS & CROWS Patrick Gorman Jr. (Ireland, 1980)
If I were to describe my artwork I would say that its comic book inspired but that doesn’t really do the justice it deserves. I do have an obsession with all things comic book that started at a very young age. Reading about people who felt different and didn’t fit in with the world around them allowed me to become comfortable with my inner self and see that true courage comes from self-belief. This need for stories about Superheroes dealing with everyday life got me through my teenage years. The adventures kept me hooked each month but it was the artwork that I fell in love with. Becoming an Illustrator was my dream and now in my 30s it has become very much part of the driving force behind everything I do. Taking a blank page and filling it with life is an amazing gift. And like the comic book that increases in value over time my art has grown as I’ve matured. ‘Cowboys & Crows’ is a collection of pen and ink drawings that focus on the iconic image of the great wild-west hero. To me the image of the Cowboy transcends both heterosexual and homosexual fantasy. He invokes a feeling of strength, courage, fatherhood and adventure. Whether he’s gay or straight, old or young he is an archetypal man. This is my 1st exhibition with the GO Gallery. Opening: Sunday, 28th of july 2013, 4-7 pm. Closing: Sunday, 8th of September The exhibition is part of the annual PINK with PRIDE exhibitions at GO Gallery.
