The role of collectors has evolved significantly in recent years. Beyond being passive participants in the art market, collectors now actively contribute to shaping the art world, particularly when it comes to supporting emerging talent. This panel brings together key figures who are not only curating their own collections but are deeply involved in initiatives that foster the careers of young, emerging artists. They are instrumental in breaking down barriers, ensuring diversity, and providing new opportunities for artists to thrive in an increasingly competitive and fast-paced art world.

In a period of change, the role of the artist is put to the test. You first encounter chaos before clarity emerges. Every transition requires letting go of certainties, insights, and opinions, which demands not only courage and inspiration but also patience and trust. How does this affect the artist and their practice? Art historian Meta Knol will discuss this topic with artists Diana Scherer, Laurien Dumbar, and Tjebbe Beekman.

In een periode van verandering wordt het kunstenaarschap op scherp gezet. Je belandt eerst in chaos voordat er duidelijkheid is. Elke transitie vraagt om het loslaten van zekerheden, inzichten en meningen, daar is behalve moed en inspiratie ook geduld en vertrouwen voor nodig. Wat doet dat met een kunstenaar en diens praktijk? Hierover gaat kunsthistoricus Meta Knol in gesprek met kunstenaars Diana Scherer, Laurien Dumbar en Tjebbe Beekman.

How can an authority from a certain anonymity destroy another human being? Why is one life worth more than another? Questions like these underlie a series of double portraits by Bas Geerts, an ongoing series begun in 2023. These are paintings in which the silhouettes of two people are united, superimposed, as a debunking of the disproportionality of their relationship; portraits in which the victim is given a voice, while the ruler is exposed as such.
