Waste – Wasteland at The Grey Space in the Middle – Art and ecology #2
In this online series, Joris van den Einden researches how art and ecology are increasingly growing closer in the Dutch art world. In this episode, he talks to curators Yannik Güldner and Leon Lapa Pereira about Wasteland, a twelve-day festival consisting of an exhibition (Fungus Socialis), a symposium (Wast3d Care), and a series of workshops surrounding the topic of waste ecologies. A conversation on materiality, community, and growth ensues.
