De wanbetalers
‘The Defaulters’ is an exhibition full of work that can be viewed and purchased in our shop, whilst in real life the artists are often not even allowed to earn a living. That is precisely where the problem lies, and that is precisely where we turn the tables. We want to translate the often never-ending online procedures that are a feature of life for a person with a disability into our physical shop, using various queues, misunderstandings and paperwork.
About Studio Denkbeeld: Studio Denkbeeld is a space for artists who happen to have a disability. Or who find themselves in need of support (for whatever reason). We set out in 2024, with no funding but an unshakeable belief in the untapped potential of the artists. In a world that moves too fast, is (sometimes) unnecessarily complex, and has harmful consequences for people and society, we want to show that things can – and must – be different.
