Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde became world famous with the creation of Nimbus, socalled 'indoor clouds'. During the opening he will test his 'Sun Following Prism'. The work will be controlled by sunlight through a mechanism that is following the ideal angle of the sun. When the weather allows, a colorspectrum will appear. This work is non predictable. Even though always aiming for the perfect conditions, an appearance might be encountered, depending on being at the right place and time.
Dirk Sijmons is an eminent Dutch landscape architect and emeritus professor Landscape Architecture at TU Delft (and co-inventor of the Zandmotor). Dirk is also co-creator of the title 'Climate as Artifact', as he wondered whether by now the climate might be our biggest artifact.
Valentijn Byvanck is director of Marres, Centre for Contemporary Culture in Maastricht, a critic, curator, museum innovator and television presenter. Over the years he developed Training the Senses, that explores the ways we recognize and use our senses and, through training, also make sense of the world around us.
Ruben Jacobs is a cultural sociologist, writer and teaches at Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht. Ruben has recently published 'Artonauten. Op expeditie in het Antropoceen' (V2_).
Berndnaut and Ruben will engage in a short dialogue about the intriguing relationship of mankind, arts and nature.
