Kunsthuis SYB

We are pleased to announce this year’s Midseason program at SYB.

Kunsthuis SYB and het resort (Groningen) are working together since 2019 on Midseason: a program for starting artists. This project started as part of Artist In Space, a program developed by the small art initiatives from Drenthe, Groningen and Friesland to further develop and facilitate Northern art talent.

This year the participating artists will stay 2 days in SYB for two workshops. The central question for the program is How to talk and write about art communally? During two days at Kunsthuis SYB we come together to unpack practices in a group setting, relate the work to each other and to the environment as well as participate in a writing workshop and a book presentation.

Participating artists: Alex Murphy, Beth (Ka Yi) Wong, Jens Huls, Lily Dollner, Madeleine Elisabeth Peccoux, Naomi Hubèrt, Silke Riis.
