    MOWING THE GRASS

       

    REPAIRING FURNITURE

       

    The maintenance of the yard and the LABYRINTHS are big jobs. The grass is important for the impressions visitors get when they enter the yard. Organizing the piles of wood and branches creates interesting new vistas. 

    After a winter with lots of snow some furniture has been broken.
    With great enthusiasm Martijn has started to fix two side tables in the yard.

    Repairing a road sign is not a usual job, but gives new experiences to understand the various technical problems in an art center.

    Also activities outside the art center are important and part of the program. The Mattias Memorial is a developing community project. At first the spot at the railway station had to be cleaned-up.

    Silvia Casilli - Italy - artist-in-residence July 2011

    I have been really impressed by the enthusiasm and care with which Martijn has begun his work in the centre since his first day of permanence. This attitude I think will allow him to learn a lot taking an active part in the projects and activities of the centre. My best greeting to him!

     

    Marijke Bongers - the Netherlands - artist-in-residence - July 2011

    We had the pleasure to meet at the art centre Saksala ArtRadius in Finland. I'm very curious how your work will develop the years after this intense trainee period! You will be surprised how Finland stays whit you after you are in the Netherlands again. I love!!!! the colored hay sticks for the memorial!
