The dissection of a morning

when: July 7, 2019 - July 28, 2019
where: EXboot

In ‘The dissection of a morning’ Hilke Walraven (1994) brings to life one of her daydreams within the
walls of my EXboot and offers us a detailed account of the morning of the 39th. The work of
Walraven is created as a world of its own, made up of objects, spaces, interactions, coincidences and
thoughts that together make their own visual language. The individua fragments are expressed in
different media and together tell a visual story in the form of an art installation.

The 39th
After the waking-up it was the 39th
3/9 of the 39th and 1/5 of the day
The clock anounced it to me.
A moment later this announcement changed: ‘it is now 1/5 of daypart 1.5’
And basically I was fine with that
The morning passed by quietly.
The eggs in place.
Tomato slices in order.

But where are the papers?
– ‘Sorted’
I walked tot he sorting and soon there wasn’t a trace of doubt left.

Today it was the 39th

Waste of Time

Domas van Wijk

Waste of Time is Domas van Wijk’s first solo exhibition in Utrecht, the city where he was born and raised. The fact that it took this long might say something about his relationship with the place, and perhaps the other way around too. After graduating from the art academy in Arnhem in 2017, he moved on to other cities and countries. Two years ago, he returned to the area where it all began and now it feels like the right time to reintroduce to utrecht what was already there.

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.

Het zandpadmuseum

"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."

Short documentary ‘Het Zandpad’

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.
