The exhibition was a solo exhibition by Antonin Giroud-Delorme (FR/NL) realized in collaboration with the choreographer Mami Kang and is the third chapter of The Nameless Healer project focusing on notions of emergence, transformation and rite making.

Towards the end of his exhibition Antonin Giroud-Delorme speaks with the Hague-based artist Arthur Cordier (BE) about the series, the exhibition and the collaboration with choreographer Mami Kang. 

The Nameless Healer: Threshold presented new  sculptural works by Antonin Giroud-Delorme, long duration performances  by Mami Kang, a text by Giulia Damiani, as well as research and  presentation events including a talk by Mijke van der Drift.

In this third podcast of the TR/X/E TALKS series you are introduced to the exhibition How to Make a Coconut Shell into Everything that took place in November 2021 at TR/X/E in The Hague. The exhibition presented sculptural works that use technology as a tool and a language to depict what’s beyond – from  metaphysical ideas to social taboos with the playful recognizable tone of the church of our contemporary industry.

Four months after their group exhibition the three artists Martin Gabriel (Czech *1991), Jesus Canuto Iglesias (Spain *1992) and Beng Yuenyong (Thailand *1987) come back to TR/X/E to reflect on it together with writer and artist Leonor Faber-Jonker. From their DIY use of technology the conversation moves along topics such as the Buddhism of shopping malls, indifferent algorithms and the search for meaning, consequently asking: What can things be because of technology?

In this second podcast of the TR/X/E TALKS series you are introduced to the exhibition Natural Dependencies that took place in October 2021 at TR/X/E in The Hague. Natural Dependencies was a multimedia exhibition about the connectivity of all living things, using mycelium as a metaphor. 

The conversation is led by Roland van Dierendonck (NL) an artist and PhD candidate at the Lab4Living, Sheffield Hallam University. Suzette Bousema (NL) and Catherine Ostraya (RU/NL), two of the exhibiting artists, guide Roland through the exhibition and describe their disparate takes on working with mycelium. While their discussion unfolds questions arise as: Is symbiosis necessarily collaborative? What role does the fungal network play in plant migration? And how do social metaphors influence our human interactions with each other and the world?

Suzette and Catherine curated the exhibition and organised a mushroom walk guided by Kees Pinster. Snippets of the walk introduce the various capacities of mushrooms growing right under our noses in The Hague.

Other exhibiting artists that were not present in the talk are Sophie Steengracht (NL), and in collaboration with Suzette Bousema Merle Bergers (NL) and Rafaele Andrade (BR/NL).

under a two-moon belief system no duality endures is the title of Alice dos Reis' (PT/NL) first solo exhibition in the Netherlands, taking place at TR/X/E in the Hague. The conversation, led by the Hague based artist Leandros Ntolas (GR/NL), is taking us from Alice's two video works in the exhibition to discussions about deep-sea mining and space colonization, science fiction and mythology, and the evolution and deconstruction of binary systems.
