Parts of the interview:

Rotterdam entrepreneur Ali Keles (38) has an office on the banks of the Delftse Schie Villa Lakeside, also home to the Lakeside Collection. A collection of modern and contemporary works of art by both international and Dutch artists, which are partly housed in the Depot of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

I bought both business and private art. You hang that on the wall at the office or at home or put in the garden. I am not a curator, by the way, but an aficionada. The basis is the affective relationship you build with the artworks. I really felt an urgency to acquire art.

Gradually, Keles began to buy more art that others labeled him a collector.

I bought some art every now and then, without any hindrance. That’s how it developed. Limitless and in total freedom.

It is evident that Keles looks at art from a philosophical perspective.

What I find important is questioning yourself with existential questions, using the falsification theory, the search for knowledge and science to arrive at real truth. That doesn’t leave me as a person. When you see how artists are busy, it evokes critical thinking in you. Art wakes people up and makes them think.

Parts of the interview:

The Rotterdam based entrepreneur Ali Keles (38) brought a part of his art collection to the accommodation of Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen. He questions himself continuously. “What does the human Ali wishes?”

When I ever close my eyes, I would wish to feel that I have done something sensible.

Keles speaks calmly. He often thinks long.

The last thing I wanted was that the compartment would become an elite place. That is not who I am and what I represent. I wanted to justify myself, I was looking for legitimation. I also wanted to bring the space to life. Not just hanging up works and occasionally rotate. The legitimations is for that a young artist can work there.

The Lakeside Collection has more than eighty works by about fifty artists.

I really have a affective relationship with art. I fall in love and want have it close to me. It start with that. I often look at them. Sometimes I get moved and sometimes I have to laugh.

His investment firm is named Lakeside Capital Partners. Ask Keles what he is and he says: an enabler – or: someone who makes things possible.

I am a kind of architect, a puzzler. I bring ideas, people and resources together, and provide for a structure. We have no exit strategy. I am in it for the long term, to build companies, together with management.

Interviewer Algemeen Dagblad

Parts of the interview:

The new depot in Rotterdam is packed with works of art stored by Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and large companies such as KPN and Rabobank. Plus: the collection of Ali Keles (38), an ‘ordinary’ Rotterdam entrepreneur and art collector. With a beautiful life story.

“This is the best view from the depot. You can see the museum with the historic tower, but also the Erasmus Bridge.” Ali Keles still intensely enjoys his place on the fourth floor of the collection building.

Not only does the founder-owner of Lakeside Capital Partners safely store his more than 80 contemporary works of art in the collection building, he also displays them. Now, for example, by well-known names in the art world such as Iván Navarro, Hans Op de Beeck and Jacco Olivier. And then this enthusiast also provides a young artist, Marloes Roeper, with a workplace. She is allowed to work in ‘his part’ of the Depot as an artist in residence.

Erasmiaans

,,At the Erasmiaans Gymnasium, now pretty much next to the Depot, I got some of it. I remember seeing slides of ancient art and being allowed to guess when it was made. I enthusiastically participated; I was often right with my guesses.”

Art collector

“You don’t get it overnight. It’s a development in yourself.”

It was the father of his bosom friend Mark Mouthaan, met while studying law, who gave him an important insight. ,,His father Floor was chairman of the board of PAN (an art fair in Amsterdam, ed.) and it was 17, 18 years ago my first visit to an art fair ever. It gave a feeling of tension, of enthusiasm. I was really triggered and kept going to art fairs afterwards as well. It was there that I actually learned that art isn’t just for museums. It was never really in my head before that you could collect it yourself.”

And also in the Kunsthal, in his own city, Keles learned a lesson. In 2011, he visited the exhibition I promise to love you: all works of art that were owned by Joop van Caldenborgh, at the time director-owner of the Rotterdam-based chemical group Caldic.

Free expression

Buying art Keles calls social responsibility. “The free expression of artists, people who record a certain period and reflect on it, is important. And that is why it is important to buy their work, because artists also have to make a living from something. I don’t think it’s enough to just find it beautiful and look at it.” It’s not about possession. “For me, buying art is mainly about preserving it for the future. To preserve it.”
