NEW ON BOARD

This week after the Easter weekend, Anna Subich from Russia and Sebastian Kaye originally from England joined our team. Anna, or Anya, will be part of the Piss Project, whereas Sebastian is working with mycelium.

__ DOUBTS

As we already heard, our new project Twijfel Zaaien - Raising/ Casting Doubts (to be decided) - is opening on 5 May, coinciding with the big street dinner and festivity here at Dijksgracht. 30 questions about life, philosophy and art will lead you through a temporary park at the top of Dijksgracht which not only allows you to find out your own ‘artisthood’, but you can also contribute to the growth of the garden by planting your own seeds!
