Negative Space Residency / De School / 2019

Words by Angelina Nikolayeva

Already a familiar face to De School (night club in Amsterdam), Boris Acket invited a group of befriended artists to take over De Aula as part of an artist in residency program to explore this phenomenon. Equipped with a custom-made modular system created together with Sjors Varkevisser, they explored our perception of space by altering their set up each week.
