Interested in spaces of convergence between different facets of knowledge, Mazen Al Ashkar seeks a relationality to the unprecedented ecological, economical and sociopolitical predicaments by playing with elements of and inbetween the binaries of Humanism, such as the rational-irrational, the scientific-superstitious. Seeking an interdisciplinary practice his work takes shape through multimedia installations, video and sound art.

Born in Syria in 1989, graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Damascus University in 2013 and received an MFA in Artistic Research from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague in 2021.

In the EXBUNKER he will be experimenting with a sonic interplay with infrastructural material, listening to and playing with byproducts of systems of connectivity and utility.

Views from Closed Eyes

Florentien Stikkelorum

Come and look with your eyes closed at a new artwork by Florentien Stikkelorum, created for the Exbunker. The darkness of the Exbunker can become even darker, and at the same time lighter. Views from Closed Eyes invites you to pause and look where you normally see nothing: your eyelids. What you see does not appear in front of you, but within you. What’s to be seen there when you give it your attention? And how vast is the space behind your closed eyes? Together, we turn the Exbunker into an infinitely large place for a moment , a place of imagination.
