Aarden in de Polder at Casco Art Institute, UtrechtWith Aarden in de Polder (Rerooting in the Polder) Wapke’s long-standing engagement turns toward the Dutch landscape, offering particular attention to the distinctive form of the polders: flat, low-lying tracts of land (re)claimed from the sea, lakes, or rivers, made agriculturally productive and protected by dikes, and maintained through an intricate network of canals, pumping stations, and drainage systems. Wapke has spent several decades investigating the ecologies of land - its physical, mental, and social dimensions - by tapping into local knowledges and engaging with people and the everyday.

Ketika Gudskul Menjadi Ucuy

Saat Dayu baru berusia tiga tahun, ia belum bisa mengucapkan “Gudskul” dengan jelas, yang keluar dari mulutnya adalah “Ucuy”, pelafalan spontan yang terdengar lucu, namun justru terasa akrab di telinga. Tanpa disadari, sapaan “Ucuy” pun mulai digunakan oleh para anggota Gudskul sebagai sebutan baru untuk “Gudskul” dalam percakapan sehari-hari mereka. Dayu adalah anak dari pasangan Bonit dan Rake. Keluarga kecil ini tinggal tak jauh dari Gudskul. Kedekatan jarak, lingkungan kerja yang fleksibel, serta ketiadaan pengasuh alternatif di rumah membuat Dayu kerap menemani ibunya bekerja.

I Hear You, Labour of Love

From Jessica Courtney Bennett at projectartworks.org
A film featuring five artists from Project Art Works is currently being screened as part of Labour of Love, a new exhibition at The Glucksman Gallery, Cork, Republic of Ireland. I Hear You by Mikhail Karikis explores the relationship between listening and care. Focusing on interactions between carers and non-verbal people who use Project Art Works’ studio spaces, Karikis invites the viewer to pay attention to the sensitive tuning-in of support workers, artists and family members to those they support – a precarious role that is often invisible, misunderstood and undervalued by society.
