B53  Artist in Residency

City Sphere Beek is about the Genius Loci – the soul of the city- the sense of one particular street. It represents the identity of the Beekstraat in Arnhem, as a disputed space. An installation that challenges the viewer to look at their own place differently. To see and cherish the authentic of their own local identity.

Also at the end of my residency @B53 I set up a local intervention in collaboration with local writer Lilian Regtvoort. A painted and spoken plea to the Genius Loci of the Beekstraat in Arnhem. Together with local authors Lilian organized a Poetry Slam with the DDT installation. Seven word artists and local authors defined the local sense of that moment. each author wrote and performer a own spoken contribution about the Genius Loci of Arnhem. Al this works are represented by the DDT installation. DDT = Dwalen Door Taal, and means Wander Through Language.
