Venus and the female intuition
The travelling exhibition Venus and the female intuition features works by almost forty artists challenging the famous goddess of beauty and the mysterious concept of female intuition.
The exhibition offers a great variety of styles, techniques and traditions and is therefore a good representation of artists working in the visionary and imaginary field. The opening of the exhibition in The Netherlands was a big success and to me personally an unforgettable experience. It was a chance to see these amazing works in real life, meet some of the artists connected to Cabinodd as well as other participating artists like Reinhard Schmid, Brigid Marlin and Claus Brusen. It was also nice to meet René Zwaga and Herman Smorenburg who’s paintings I got to admire a week before.
The exhibition Venus and the female intuition is an initiative by Salbru Publish, a Danish-Dutch publishing house run by Marcel Salome and Claus Brusen. The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with an introduction by Steven Kenny. Venus and the female intuition opened in April 2007 in "Saebygaard Slot" in Denmark and can now be viewed at the beautiful Artsalon De Gouden Phoenix run by Saco and Marina Keikes in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. The exhibition will finally travel to Princesse de Kiev in Nice, France.
Participating artists: Michael Parkes, Ans Markus, Patrick Woodroffe, Claude Verlinde, José Roosevelt, Claus Brusen, Jean-Pierre Alaux, Daniel Merriam, Daron Mouradian, Victor Safonkin, Lukas Kandl, Gil Bruvel, Kinuko Y. Craft, Steve Cieslawski, Bruno Di Maio, Michael Hiep, Danny Heinricht, Lamy, Monica Fagan, Igor Grechanyk, Zeljko Djurovic, Torben Hardenberg, Steven Kenny, Anne-Fieke & Eugene Later, Brigid Marlin, Michael Maschka, Shiori Matsumoto, Peter van Oostzanen, Isabelle Planté, Reinhard Schmid, Carsten Svennson, Oleksandr Melnykov, Paul Erland, Oxana Yambykh, Eli Tiunine, Siegfried Zademack, Olivier Zappelli, Marcheva Galina.

Hi there, does anybody of you know what has happened to Mr. Saco Keikes who runs “De Gouden Phoenix” in Leeuwarden? Does his gallery still exist?
Alisea
Hello Alisea,
We are after him also. The phone lines are disconnected and there is no activity at his gallery. He has to pay a lot of money and it seems he is bank ruppted and hidding himselve. It is a big problem for all the artists who having paintings at his place. I do my best to find out to locate him and help the artists who are having paintings at his place.
What is your connection to him?
Best,
Marcel
Hello Alisea and Marcel,
I read your letters from june 3rd and 16th june about Saco Keikes. I wonder if you still did not get contact with him. I also feel been treated by him, not with paintings but with all kind of other objects. In three years he did not do a thing. He promises a lot but does not do what he promises. Now he sold something of us for a rediculous price. I think him unreliable. In february I met with him to hold my objects, he did not do anything with. His gallery was empty, maybe in the meentime he contacted you but if not may be I can give you more information to come in contact with him if you did not succeed untill now and I possible have other addresses to use. So let me know.
Greetings, Hedrien
