WAKE

when: July 25, 2020 - August 28, 2020
where: EXboot

We live in a world where it is normal to be able to buy everything we want. Everything can be delivered to our doorstep with just one click on your computer and it probably won’t take them longer than two days. But this kind of consumer behavior has major consequences for the global warming. WAKE shows two sides of this issue: the fact that we buy without thinking of the now lost resources and the fact that we turn those purchases without any problem into garbage. Isabela Verhagen shows, by means of an overall made of receipts, that we should buy more consciously and shines a new light on recycling materials that we now automatically throw away.

Memories in Cellulose

Marit Hofman

Memories in Cellulose invites the visitor to step into a workshop of co-creation, connection, and transformation, where microorganisms and humans work together.It is a space to reflect on how we, as individuals, position ourselves within local ecosystems.In this installation, the maker has entered into a collaboration with her ecosystem by having analog film edited by microorganisms both from the maker’s skin and from plants growing around her house. The seemingly magical images resulting from this are projected onto canvases of bacterial cellulose in a three-dimensional space. The creative process is also displayed through projections, living fermentation, and material research.

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.
