“What art does — maybe what it does most completely — is tell us, make us feel that what we think we know, we don’t. There are whole worlds around us that we’ve never glimpsed.” Greil Marcus — Wednesday March 12th — —

I love listening. It is one of the only spaces where you can be still and moved at the same time. — Nayyirah Waheed — Wednesday March 12th — —

The idea is to die young as late as possible. — Ashley Montagu — Wednesday March 12th — —

Last Season

The Dutch artists Lernert & Sander continue their string of fascinatingly beautiful projects with their concept named ‘Last Season’. Amsterdam-based Lernert Engelberts and Sander Plug created a concept in honor of the arrival of the new seasonal collections at high-end Maastricht-based boutique Kiki Niesten, which yearly creates a concept in honor of the TEFAF Maastricht art fair. ‘Last Season’ revolves around the reduction of last season’s knitted garments by Céline, Chloé, Jil sander and Prada to balls of yarn: “symbols of hope and aspiration.” From the 14th until the 23th of March of this year, the results of the proces will be showcased in the window display of Kiki Niesten. Every year during the renowned art fair TEFAF, the prestigious boutique in the heart of Maastricht takes pride in participating artistically to the TEFAF experience, with this year resulting in the great collaboration with Lernert & Sander.
