On August 31, 2024 you could join us for the public program of the exhibtion On Water, Flow and Warped Time. Artist Maud van den Beuken developed a special three-part program in which we studied the boundaries between water and land. During this program, entitled River Seminar: River is Fish, Cloud, Stone, she explored contemporary definitions of the river and its water management.

For River Seminar: River is Fish, Cloud, Stone, van den Beuken presented her book TITLES Where the river is during a lecture performance. This book is an archive of van den Beuken's notes, sketches, preparations, registrations and thought experiments that she collected over the course of a year. During this time, she was a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht for 11 months.

The program consisted of three parts: a lecture performance, a walk along the canal through Walcheren, and an interview with artist Theun Karelse who played the role of a non-human entity for this conversation. During this afternoon we practiced with artistic and scientific tools to give the river a voice.
