Return of the Dutch

Return of the Dutch
Brussel – 19 – 21/07/2008

presentation/exhibition: 21 Juli

Your-space, a platform devoted to stimulating creative dynamics and social engagement in the region, operating from the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven will invade Belgium’s territory and identity from their residency in Rue Jourdan, Brussels. Your space will work here from 19 untill 21 July, and welcomes everyone to step by when we are there!

The title The return of the Dutch refers to Belgian’s contemporary political context, whilst exploring at the same time it’s historical common roots with The Netherlands, The participants to the residency would try to figure out how Dutch language relates to the present day situation in Brussels, how Dutch heritage relates to the Belgian and, more globally, how current Belgian and Dutch identities relate.

As a residency place, the Garage will be used as studio space ; but this studio space is a space without identity or ownership ; it’s a place for the people and by the people whom are interested in creative dynamics and social engagement. Happenings, exhibitions, lectures, gigs and working periods will mutually interact, occur and exist. your-space will serve as a platform for artist and organisations from the Eindhoven region, the Brussels region and beyond.
