we felt air

If only we could
master mir­a­cles

“If only we could master mir­a­cles” is an ex­hi­bi­tion ex­ploring our un­re­lenting drive to com­pre­hend, quan­tify, repli­cate, and con­trol nat­ural and cosmic phe­nomena. With wonder, mys­tery, and cu­riosity as a starting point, the journey moves through the realms of sci­ence, ra­tio­nality, and cap­i­talism.

The hand that
searched in the void


“The hand that searched in the void” is an ex­hi­bi­tion and public pro­gramme around holding on and let­ting go. Amongst it are sto­ries that try to get hold of the past and in­stal­la­tions em­bodying per­sonal processes of coping and grasping. We also wit­ness artists re­lin­quishing con­trol, ne­go­ti­ating acts of holding on and let­ting go with the ma­te­rials and tech­nolo­gies they work with.

The hero, the villian
and the truth

Strange and twisted fig­ures of Martin Luther, Jesus and Mary, Queen Wil­helmina, Pi­casso, and other his­tor­ical fig­ures loom large in the former mu­ni­tions storage of the his­tor­ical fort. They are the sty­ro­foam and polyurethane statues by artist Folkert de Jong, in the the­atrical ex­hi­bi­tion “The hero, the vil­lain, and the truth – Can­cel­la­tion or re­demp­tion?”. The ex­hi­bi­tion asks ques­tions such as: What is his­tory? Who writes it? What if it were written dif­fer­ently? By playing with truth(s), Folkert de Jong touches upon themes such as morality, colo­nialism, cap­i­talism, ecology, and fem­i­nism. An­i­mated by the­atrical staging, lighting, and audio nar­ra­tion written by se­lected au­thors, the statues open up al­ter­na­tive his­to­ries.
