18 January Lost & Found on ‘Regret’

On Friday 18 January 2019 a next episode of Lost & Found will take place at the Theatrum Anatomicum of the Waag. The theme of this event: regret; with confessions by a.o. Io Cooman, Alma Matthijssen, Jan Hoek, Julia van Mourik, Saskia Janssen. 

Lost & Found is an evening for stray images and sound. Artists, writers, scientists and musicians present work in progress, experiment or present work that doesn’t fit into their oeuvre (yet). A specific and unique stage for diverse and hybrid works which don’t fit comfortably into galleries or museums.

Saskia Janssen & George Korsmit & Dawn DeDeaux, artist talk at Camp Abundance

22 May 2018, No Walls / Flowers from the Cardboard Hotel

Tuesday May 22 at 7:00PM, presentation & discussion around issues with artistic social practices by Saskia Janssen, George Korsmit and Dawn DeDeaux, at Camp Abundance, 3001 Bruxelles St, New Orleans. The Rainbow Soulclub, founded by Saskia Janssen and George Korsmit in 2005, involves collaborative projects between artists, art students and clients of The Rainbow Foundation, which provides shelter and care for homeless people and for long term drug addicts in Amsterdam.

Dawn DeDeaux has implemented experimental art programming for a 6000 inmate prison facility, including projects for juvenile offenders. This led to a long-term collaboration with The Hardy Boys, two of New Orleans’ most notorious gang leaders of the late 80s through early 90s.

Janssen, Korsmit and DeDeaux will show the work that was made during these partnerships and go into a conversation about their experiences they’ve shared with their collaborators.
