A welf of appandages 〰️

 This exhibition is the result of five artists getting together as the Intuitive storytelling group under the Kunstpodium T Apprentice/Master program.

Intuitive storytelling here suggests the building of worlds that these artworks can inhabit. Worlds guided by a more-than-logic, and each of us with a different use or interpretation to them. If all goes well, we might speak of a cohesion, each contributing distinct tiling to a broader landscape. Each work tiles another bit of the broader landscape it exists in. We're curious about how these tiles meet, cross-pollinate, and infect each other when placed side by side. In this sense, the exhibition functions like a cadavre exquis, where individual fragments connect to create something unexpected and alive.

When we visited each other's studios, we noticed parallels between the concrete spaces we work in and the ecosystems we imagine. The way we organize tools, shelves, and materials seems to prompt the structures of our imagined worlds.
This exhibition reflects the new and ongoing processes of shaping, reshaping, and imagining. Our works are fragments of speculative worlds, but together they create something larger—a shared landscape where the personal, the collaborative, and the fantastical meet. How fun."

In collaboration with Keetje Mans, Jakob van Klinken, Helena Cnockaert en Sien Custers

Our group was together with three other groups nominated for the Jan Naaijkensprijs. The nominated groups participated in the Season Highlights exhibition. 

In this new iteration, our tools for intuitive storytelling expand, braiding our fantasies a little closer together. Through open dialogue and messy experimentation, our individual worlds digest into a shifting landscape. The good life—speculative, sometimes awkward or funny, but always pulsing with possibility, rooted in matter. Our studios form an ecosystem, borrowing each other’s materials, losing a hammer but gaining a horse, all in the intentional chaos of keeping things moving. We wonder: how far can we push these stories together, what does it take to keep momentum, and what unexpected smells might rise from the shared pouch we keep stirring?
