Wat nu, Koetsier? symposium presentation, 4 November 2017

On Saturday 4 November 2017 Janneke Wesseling will give a presentation in the context of a two-day public programme in honour of the Dutch conceptual artist Hans Koetsier.

In the spirit of Koetsier, 45 graphic designers and artists were invited to design their own ‘advertisement’, to induce a contemporary work or statement that manifests the force of communication.

After being published in Het Parool and on watnukoetsier.nl, the series will now be presented during the Wat nu, Koetsier? exhibition, symposium, and publication launch, on 4-5 November 2017, 12h00-18h00, on De Ruijterkade 127, Amsterdam. 

The exhibition will be in constant transformation, adapting to the presentations of Erik Kessels, Janneke Wesseling, Maria Barnas, Delphine Bedel, and Jouke Kleerebezem, who all made a personal selection from the series, and wrote about the project for the special broadsheet publication.

Lecture Studium Generale TU/e, 12 October 2017

On Thursday 12 October 2017 Janneke Wesseling will give a lecture as part of the Studium Generale Programme at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

Lecture State of the ART
Thursday 12 October 2017
12h40 – 13h35
Eindhoven University of Technology
Blauwe Zaal Auditorium

Like science, art can be a high-quality form of research. Similar to the scientific process, the artistic process sometimes is a struggle that leads to surprising and unexpected results, providing new insights into the world we live in. Contemporary society wrongly expects art to provide solutions to societal issues and to be economically profitable. This is a trend that closely resembles the contemporary societal attitude towards science. In her lecture State of the ART, Wesseling will argue that art can only flourish when it is free from demands of profit and of concrete results or solutions.
