For the exhibition “Artificialia” Nonna Hoogland draws inspiration from the wonder-rooms of the 16th, 17th, and 18th century. She links historic visual cultures, stories and symbols to contemporary themes. This creates a collection of ceramic art objects which intrigues, alienates and amuses the viewer.
This exhibition is closed. This is showing at EXboot now:

Ancestral Murmurs is a performance video that explores the weight of silence passed on from generation to generation.Through heavy, slow movements, the work reflects how this inherited weight shapes the body and its ability to move forward.
EXboot is vanwege de unieke en beperkte omvang van de cultuurhistorische locatie enkel te voet te betreden en niet rolstoeltoegankelijk. Er zijn (nog) geen voorzieningen voor slechthorenden.

"I cherish both my present and my past. In addition to being a place for groundbreaking art, one of my rooms also houses the Zandpad Museum. Here, I share the story of my illustrious past and introduce you to people who know me well—inside and out. Take a seat on my stool, gaze out the window, and listen to the many stories surrounding my existence."
In the 'Zandpad Museum', you can watch a short documentary about the origins of the Zandpad. The Zandpad used to be a strip of boats in the river Vecht, where sexworkers could fullfill their profession legaly. The documentary features numerous audio fragments of conversations with various people involved, including a former sex worker and former mayor Aleid Wolfsen.
This Zandpad documentary was created by Sylvie Kamphuis & Jaap Pronk (directors), Bram Engelaar (camera), Doenja Abel (production), Twan Bracco Gartner (music), and Bald Beeld (editing). Special thanks to the interviewees: Aleid Wolfsen (former mayor of Utrecht), Brenda Oude Breuil (criminologist at Utrecht University), Jannie Teunissen (De Tussenvoorziening), the former sex worker, and the former client of the Zandpad.
The documentary was made possible with support from the Municipality of Utrecht, K.F. Heinfonds, Mondriaan Fund, and RTV Utrecht.
