Naast de objecten zijn alle werkzaamheden die komen kijken b...

The Court for International Climate Crisis (CICC) is a more-than-human tribunal founded by writer, academic, lawyer, and activist Radha D'Souza and artist and propaganda researcher Jonas Staal in 2021. The aim of the CICC is to prosecute climate crimes committed by states and corporations, not only in the past and present, but also in the future.

Beeldend kunstenaar Pii Daenen produceert al ruim 50 jaar sculpturen, installaties, video’s, foto’s, prints, artefacten, multiples, interieur- en meubelstukken.

With elementary materials – wood, paper, clay, tape, paint – artist Fleur van Dodewaard creates ephemeral compositions that play with the possibilities of photography, sculpture, and painting. Situated at the intersection of these disciplines, her work uses photography to achieve the final result. ‘The Fold’ presents ten years of practice, reshaped according to the principles of book production methods such as folding, cutting, and binding. Operating like a “making-of” documentary...

Situated as it is at the very turn of the century, and questioning from the outset the inflation and desubstantialisation involved in the hegemony of images, Michel Mazzoni’s photographic practice is an image factory or rather an image-thinking factory. An image which outflanks it and decompartmentalises it in multifarious ways, from its installation in situ to its editorial deployment. An image qua cultural artefact in its capacity to link us to the world in a shared sense of perpetual pre...

With the book ‘Saudade’, Laura makes a call to the ambassadors of the word. She hopes to ‘contaminate’ as many people as possible with her love for this word, so it might become shared and

commonplace.

When she heard the word and the meaning sinked in after repetition, she experienced a kind of homecoming. It was as if everything fell into place; her oeuvre and that which pushed her to paint suddenly had a common denominator, a flag that covered the load. And she discovered something...

Emo Verkerk (Amsterdam, 1955) has his feet firmly planted in the Dutch painting tradition. His work tends towards total anarchy and regularly balances on the edge of a cliff, sometimes almost going over the brink, but in the end everything always lands on its feet, exactly where you would want it to be.

His work is shamelessly convincing. In the paintings of Emo Verkerk each note takes an unexpected turn, like in improvisational jazz. When Verkerk paints his constructed reality, he takes it ...
