for colliding vocabularies & unprecedented research
Consider contemporary art, science and music to be specific vocabularies, each a set of (hidden) rules in which ideas can evolve. Locatie Z is founded on the idea that it's worth the effort to bring these highly distinctive vocabularies together in the same space.
Locatie Z provides this physical and conceptual space to explore and develop ideas and forms, exchange perspectives and methods and stimulate experimentation and unprecedented research.

Political rhetoric, financial systems, scientific projects and technological developments. Faced with such social phenomena artist Thijs Ebbe Fokkens evaluates his desire for truth, oversight and continuity.
During his residency at De Overslag (november2011) he combines drawing, printing, sculpting and photography - a sort of 'thinking aloud' - in space. During this process an ambiguous idea of oversight arises, a compelling story to be read between the lines.

Politieke retoriek, financiële systemen, wetenschappelijke projecten en technologische ontwikkelingen. Geconfronteerd met deze maatschappelijke verschijnselen evalueert kunstenaar Thijs Ebbe Fokkens zijn verlangen naar waarheid, overzicht en continuïteit.
Tijdens zijn werkperiode in De Overslag denkt hij hier 'hardop' over na, beeldend, in de ruimte. Daarbij combineert hij tekeningen, drukwerk, ruimtelijk werk en fotografie. Al doende ontstaat een ambigue idee van overzicht.
