Biography
"It is what it is. Or is it more than it seems? That’s the intriguing paradox in which you become entangled when you look at the work of Abel Minnée. His photographs are clear and simple. They have the technical perfection of advertising photography but demand more of the viewer than a quick glance. The subjects seem chosen at random, but nothing about Minnée’s work is accidental or fleeting . The way his work has developed recently is fascinating. His photos seems more and more the result of performative acts. He creates a still life from the things used to clean an exhibition space, for example. He makes a photograph of it, which he then presents in that same exhibition space. These acts don’t even necessarily have to lead to a photo. From all the light sources in the studio used by him and his friends, Minnée has made an installation called Privileged instants and any-instant whatevers, an ideal synthesis of Studio Spaan & Co (Bram Spaan, Mounir Raji, Maarten van der Kamp, Abel Minnée), Daniël Goedkoopstraat 8, Amsterdam. Referring to one of the essential aspects of photography, he’s created an installation from the fridge lamp, the light in the sandwich toaster and the bulb that illuminates the studio. His interest in investigating aspects of photography, the camera, the medium – and not just by making photos – gives depth to Minnée’s artistic practice. It triggers a desire to go on following the development of his still young oeuvre closely."

Biography
"Abel Minnée was born in 1988 in Amsterdam and received a BFA in photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. His work is often engaged with the medium photography itself, researching the construction of the image, the capacities of the camera and the application of the photographical image in popular visual culture with an interest for ostensibly arbitrary way subjects are chosen, stories are written and images are created. His images are revealing and highlighting the photographical gesture in it's own and very specific way."

Biography
"It is what it is. Or is it more than it seems? That’s the intriguing paradox in which you become entangled when you look at the work of Abel Minnée. His photographs are clear and simple. They have the technical perfection of advertising photography but demand more of the viewer than a quick glance. The subjects seem chosen at random, but nothing about Minnée’s work is accidental or fleeting . The way his work has developed recently is fascinating. His photos seems more and more the result of performative acts. He creates a still life from the things used to clean an exhibition space, for example. He makes a photograph of it, which he then presents in that same exhibition space. These acts don’t even necessarily have to lead to a photo. From all the light sources in the studio used by him and his friends, Minnée has made an installation called Privileged instants and any-instant whatevers, an ideal synthesis of Studio Spaan & Co (Bram Spaan, Mounir Raji, Maarten van der Kamp, Abel Minnée), Daniël Goedkoopstraat 8, Amsterdam. Referring to one of the essential aspects of photography, he’s created an installation from the fridge lamp, the light in the sandwich toaster and the bulb that illuminates the studio. His interest in investigating aspects of photography, the camera, the medium – and not just by making photos – gives depth to Minnée’s artistic practice. It triggers a desire to go on following the development of his still young oeuvre closely."
Kim Knoppers, curator Foam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Biography
"It is what it is. Or is it more than it seems? That’s the intriguing paradox in which you become entangled when you look at the work of Abel Minnée. His photographs are clear and simple. They have the technical perfection of advertising photography but demand more of the viewer than a quick glance. The subjects seem chosen at random, but nothing about Minnée’s work is accidental or fleeting . The way his work has developed recently is fascinating. His photos seems more and more the result of performative acts. He creates a still life from the things used to clean an exhibition space, for example. He makes a photograph of it, which he then presents in that same exhibition space. These acts don’t even necessarily have to lead to a photo. From all the light sources in the studio used by him and his friends, Minnée has made an installation called Privileged instants and any-instant whatevers, an ideal synthesis of Studio Spaan & Co (Bram Spaan, Mounir Raji, Maarten van der Kamp, Abel Minnée), Daniël Goedkoopstraat 8, Amsterdam. Referring to one of the essential aspects of photography, he’s created an installation from the fridge lamp, the light in the sandwich toaster and the bulb that illuminates the studio. His interest in investigating aspects of photography, the camera, the medium – and not just by making photos – gives depth to Minnée’s artistic practice. It triggers a desire to go on following the development of his still young oeuvre closely."
Kim Knoppers, curator Foam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Biography
"Abel Minnée was born in 1988 in Amsterdam and received a BFA in photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. His work is often engaged with the medium photography itself, researching the construction of the image, the capacities of the camera and the application of the photographical image in popular visual culture with an interest for ostensibly arbitrary way subjects are chosen, stories are written and images are created. His images are revealing and highlighting the photographical gesture in it's own and very specific way."
Ine Lamers, Head of Photography Department Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
