Residents of care home De Leeuwenhoek give their clothes to the hands of Das Leben am Haverkamp, stitching a soft embrace of the past into full-body cushions. Witness as they are revealed for the first time on June 12, unleashed to embrace, lounge, gaze. Proximity won’t just be felt: it will be made.

In the context of our participation in the Kinderkunstweek and on the occasion of our 10th anniversary as the collective Das Leben am Haverkamp, ​​we have delved into our own archive.

Works of Anouk van Klaveren, Dewi Bekker and Gino Anthonisse are part of the group exhibition Fitting In in Z33, Hasselt (BE).

The Artist Mascot is a performative piece in which Anouk van Klaveren (the interchangeable mortal) aims to transform herself into Anouk van Klaveren (the mythical artist).

Under what conditions is manual labor elevated to a mystical act that we call art?
