BIOTALK

Tomorrow there will be yet another Biotalk. This time, themed Sweat, Odor & Soap, audience will hear about a textile coating that can provide its wearers with information on how much sweat is lost and also give an indication of the substance composition; an installation that recreates a famous person's last few living minutes by using scent and a process that zooms into soap-making, exploring the boundaries between the animate and inanimate. For guestlist and staff entrance, please refer to the email that Rosa sent earlier today.

BIERBERAAD REVIEW

Raymond van den Boogaard in NRC wrote a very nice review about Bierberaad last week, titled Who Says Beer, Says Also Urine. If you are interested, you can check out the online version here. It is only in Dutch, but it is incredibly easy to get it translated on Google if you really want to read it.

Have a good week!
