We are happy to share the recording of the discussion between artist Remy Jungerman and art historian Allison K. Young, which took place during the opening of What the River Says last Saturday, alongside the launch of Jungerman’s new book, Tracing the Lines.
In the talk, they explored the cultural and aesthetic influences behind Jungerman’s latest works, particularly the geometric patterns seen in Surinamese Maroon textiles and the quilts of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. The event also featured remarks from Eleonoor Jap Sam, head of Jap Sam Books, the publishing house that produced Tracing the Lines, and Lars Been, the gallery’s curator.

Galerie Ron Mandos is proud to showcase Remy Jungerman’s new body of work in an exhibition titled What the River Says. Tracing how the patterns seen in early 20th Century Maroon shoulder capes of Suriname mirror the patterns seen in the majestic quilts of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, Jungerman reveals how a rich geometry carried across the ocean to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade has informed his recent work.
Inspired by traditional patchwork shoulder capes of the Surinamese Maroon people from West Africa, Suriname-born Dutch artist Remy Jungerman’s mural pays homage to the braveness and way of life of the tribe’s people whose aesthetics and rich culture have inspired him throughout his career.
