***
Was it a good idea?
A good idea is an idea that finds resonance in more than one head, that reveals and mobilizes things that were previously unknown, hidden, forgotten, unresolved or lacking.
Who/what has held you up?
Curiosity
Is there a limit?
Yes. Usually it’s the limited resource of energy.
What do you need?
Supportive words, which not necessarily are positive, but also grounded critique that helps us become better.
What has been given and what do you take?
Lack has been given, inspiration was shared.
Is it sustainable?
It has been and might remain so if we work on this collectively.
What is the shape?
Something that shifts constantly.
Does it fit?
Very.
Future or Past?
Present.
Kin?
Ship.
What do you measure?
The curiosity that is evoked by the shows that we do.
Digital or physical?
Digital and physical. Although most of what we do relies strongly on materiality and physical experience and transformation of the space, the digital dimension is no less important as we are keen on sharing what artists created in our space with our digital peers.
Why do you stay?
Because the lack is still present.
Is it enough?
Never. But we try our best.
