Visual artist Arjen Lancel creates sculptures, installations and works for public space, and curates art projects in and around Amsterdam. In Cambrian Explosion, he presents a series of 16 architectural sculptures conceived as models for an imaginary public space. The playful, organic constructions explore erosion, time and decay, as well as beauty, wonder and transience.

Artist in Residence at Nieuw en Meer from 01-10-2026 till 31-12-2026.Read more about Artists in Residence

Finn Theuws’ practice spans sculpture, spatial intervention, and audiovisual media. Drawing on queer methodologies and material culture, Theuws unsettles conventions governing objects, interactions, and social structures. He proposes alternative ways of engaging with their embedded logics and prescribed use. Rather than only illustrating fixed ideas, his work embraces disorientation as a generative condition. In the making process, intuition can intervene and reshape the ideas that inform his practice. In the encounter with the work, disorientation precedes interpretation, allowing meaning to unfold through direct experience. Humor, surreal displacements, and poetic distortions guide his formal decisions. Alongside his practice, Theuws co-founded terra(t)rium, a platform for research, performance, workshops, exhibitions, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Beeldende kunst, installaties en performances ontmoeten er livemuziek, tuinen, ateliers en woonwagens. Niet binnen, maar juist BUITENBEELD.
