Art with its continuous expansion or acceptance of new forms is constantly repositioning the limits of its language; society regards multiplicity as a problem and therefore comes out more as a rigid defender of its own forms than a renewer. There are items in the programme that deal with accepted forms like cinema, video and painting but we also included items that the art world find controversial; and that because they have always been called – and fairly – craftworks. The Stichting Gaidaro, with big admiration for the things that people make, imagine and construct will try to include from now on projects in the Geborgen Kamers that manifest this craftsmanship but always place it within the context and the qualities of an art work.

  • Artist: employee of the year
    With the crisis expanding to more European countries, even to the most “stable” ones, the issue of the status of artists and the positioning of their practice in society is coming up over and over, drawing several lines of thinking. Words like visionary or technocrat, as opposites, are heard about the politicians who may (not) [...]

His icon is anyway present all around; a well salable product containing the necessary tragedy that provokes emotions but also reassures that we have it better. Coherent to this tragic context is the fact that the Czechs were the [...]

  • I object
    Once rocks could talk, now we love our espresso machine (text Sofia Kapnissi) Objects, natural or manufactured, have a special place in the world as animated partners of our wishes, dreams and aspirations. Either as possessions or as symbols of identification, objects tell our story in a blunt way – the way of an object. [...]
