Things I used to paint

when: March 3, 2019 - March 31, 2019
where: EXboot

An inflatable mattress, a rubber bout, building materials – things we’re used to seeing in a construction or camping setting – are re-examined by Tim Wunderink for their hidden painterly qualities; their gloss or matte surfaces, abstract adornments or translucency for example become highlighted in wall objects, which at first glance could pass for abstract modernist paintings. Wunderink lets the viewer rediscover the material through the shape of the object. Every work is a small discovery, but should not be seen as a separate incident. Rather, he aims to direct the whole chain of material, idea, the shape of the object, the installation of objects and the presence of the viewer in Space.

Behind my window Wunderink continues his search for objects that do refer to the art of painting, but are not defined as such.

Masque

Sire Mane

In Sire Mane’s new work "Masque," the viewer is placed within a field of tension between honesty, concealment, and adaptation. The installation consists of two large masks behind which personal and vulnerable stories are hidden. Behind the masks, you hear two individuals speaking in their own languages—French and Wolof (a local language from Senegal) about topics they find difficult to discuss in their daily lives. The emotions behind these masks are clearly audible, yet the words remain largely unclear to most visitors. The masks draw the viewer in, but remain impenetrable. They do not reveal their inner world. In this way, a sense of distance and misunderstanding emerges, connected to differences in language, identity, and culture.

Due to the unique and limited size of the cultural-historical site, EXboot is only accessible on foot and is not wheelchair accessible. There are no facilities for the hearing impaired (yet).

The sand path museum

I cherish both my present and my past. Besides a space for high-profile art, one of my rooms also houses the Zandpad Museum. Here, I'll tell you about my illustrious past and introduce you to people who know me well—inside or out. Sit on my stool, gaze out the window, and listen to the many stories surrounding my life.

Short documentary 'The Sand Path'

The Zandpad Museum is screening a short documentary about the history of the Zandpad. You'll also find numerous audio clips of conversations with various people involved, including a former sex worker and former mayor Aleid Wolfsen.

This Zandpad documentary was made by Sylvie Kamphuis & Jaap Pronk (director), Bram Engelaar (camera), Doenja Abel (production), Twan Bracco Gartner (music), and Bald Beeld (editing). Thanks to the interviewees: Aleid Wolfsen (former mayor of the Municipality of Utrecht), Brenda Oude Breuil (criminologist at Utrecht University), Jannie Teunissen (De Tussenvoorziening), the former sex worker, and the former client of Zandpad. The documentary was made possible in part by the Municipality of Utrecht, KF Heinfonds, Mondriaanfonds, and RTV Utrecht.
