Chapter 3: Doubt
Tudor Bratu’s practice focuses on projects that interweave documented stories of contemporary migration with the artist’s own family history, archival footage and data, and post-documentary photography. Presentations often involve working with scale models, slide projection narratives, and printed matter, and expand on an ongoing research of an ethical responsibility, which stands at the heart of global emergencies today.
Willem de Haan’s practice involves sculptures and contextually-specific interventions that simultaneously jam, hack or parasite the conventional readings of public space. In the context ofthe exhibition he proposes a re-actualization of ‘Flatmates on the beach’ questioning the ideas of belonging and ownership.
Part II. – SEA Foundation, Tilburg
