Equally important to these artists is the consideration of how they can work from an awareness of the ecological imprint of their actions and nurture a different sensibility. Their work is not only about offering stories and perspectives, it is about more than representation: it is also about the resources, processes and relations they can cultivate, or choose to avoid, halt or redirect in their artistic production. As an inseparable part of their practice, they explore very concrete material, technical, chemical, legal and social possibilities for change—offering what could be seen as action perspectives.
Their actions are often deliberately humble–letting a place be, avoiding toxic substances, wasting nothing, repurposing fallen branches, collaborating with a plant. But underlying such small acts is often a consequent commitment, a persistent effort, and a daily practicing of other ways of acting and being in the world.
In the course of the exhibition we will develop multiple events and activities on location with Maidie van den Bos, Yoeri Guepin, Honey Jones-Hughes & Antonio de la Hera, Floris Visser (Public Food) and others. Sheray Rozenstein & Carlijn van Heusden will offer a workshop to school groups. Keep an eye on our website and socials for more information.
