Interactions is een talentontwikkelingstraject van POST. Voor deze editie vertrok de groep vanuit het idee van compost. Compost bevindt zich continu in een staat van transformatie en is een dynamisch levend proces. Het is een constant proces van worden en ‘ont-worden’.

A network of lines eroded due… Continue reading Gam Bodenhausen’s Rhizomatic Landscapes

It is practically common knowledge that Vincent van Gogh was mentally unstable, especially during the last few years of his life: There was the incident with the ear, his voluntary admission in an asylum, and his suicide. These events are shaping his life-story, reconstructed from personal letters and reports from his doctors and witnesses. This… Continue reading How Mental Health Shapes Van Gogh’s Story
