Stil

In 2019 De Ketelfactory celebrates its 10-year anniversary. A wonderful occasion to bring together all artists who ever exhibited work here.0Winnie Teschmacher invited them to create a work of art about ?silence?, no bigger than 30 x 30 x 30 cm. Allof the artists accepted her invitation. It is the start of De Ketelfactory?s ?Silence collection?.00The ?Silence collection? has a predecessor. Some thirty years ago, a mysterious Museum of Silence travelled through our country. Curator and artist Rob G.M. Vrakking had used mail art to ask hundreds of national and international artists to send him an object about silence.0The response was overwhelming: sculptures, paintings, drawings and written pieces arrived in the post.0After ten years, the collection was consigned to the Osthaus Museum in Hagen, Germany. There, the works lay wrapped up and unseen in the attic for years.00In 2018 Kester Freriks ? writer of the book 'Silence, space, darkness' ? appealed for the Museum of Silence to be brought back and exhibited in the Netherlands once more.0De Ketelfactory accepted the invitation and collected the archive from Hagen.00Exhibition: De Ketelfactory, Schiedam, The Netherlands (26.01.-143.07.2019).
