De werelden die Jasper de Beijer (Amsterdam, 1973) ons in zijn fotowerken voorschotelt zijn fascinerend, herkenbaar en vervreemdend tegelijk. Zijn werk gaat over het proces van kijken, zien en interpreteren. Eerst denk je dat het een foto van de werkelijkheid is, maar dan wordt duidelijk dat het een foto van een papieren maquette is. Je dwaalt door de voorstelling die nu meer is dan een foto. Je moet er iets mee, maar wat? En dat is precies de vraag die de kunstenaar aan ons stelt: Weet je...

'An Equine Anthology' weeft niet-lineaire geschiedenissen, getuigenissen en interpretaties van de paardencultuur van het Amerikaanse Zuidwesten tot daarbuiten samen. In plaats van dubbelverhalen over het romantische en het mondaine, over persoonlijkheid en gebruik, presenteert An Equine Anthology de lezer een brede topografische kijk op het paard, een beeld dat veel verder reikt dan dat van de Amerikaanse mythologie. De bloemlezing van M12 combineert poëzie met onderzoeksmethoden die ingaan ...

In 'Before I Was Born', Tja Ling illustrates the story of her family’s journey from China to the Netherlands, between the 1930s and 1970s, in 14 interconnected pencil drawings. Out of respect and admiration for the way her (grand)- parents built a life for themselves with all the challenges they have had to face, migrating without any formal education or knowledge of the local language.

These drawings are a chronicle of pride, strength and respect. A narrative of a child discovering why he...

Beginning in the Middle. Conversations on the Post-Soviet, edited and compiled by Elsbeth Dekker and Robbie Schweiger, explores the works, lives and travels of artists coming from a (post-) Soviet context. The conversations delve deeper into questions of art and (de)colonisation in countries in the Caucasus and Central Asia, most of which recently celebrated their 30th anniversary of independence.

Departing from Dutch collections and exhibitions, the conversations try to grapple with question...

Displace explores the process of entering into a dialogue with soil as a living entity. It offers an intimate insight into Elena Khurtova's artistic research and process during her residency at 3bisF, on the site of Montperrin Psychiatric hospital in Aix-en-Provence, and delves into her personal connection with displaced soils.

AgriValley is a long-term poetic study of Dutch agriculture.

The futuristic, almost dreamlike images give an insight into the enormous impact of technological innovation in the agricultural sector.

Van Duppen shows the contemporary landscape in associative analyses, using visual rhyme and essayistic cam...

In this ground-breaking account of the development of post-War sculpture Andrew Causey examines innovative and avant-garde works in relation to contemporary e...
