zandbank



[EN] is an arts criticism platform rooted in Groningen, NL. We believe in slow reflection, in sustainable criticism, and the power of extensive contemplations and considerations - and wish to move away from "actuality" and rushed writings.

Currently, we are facilitating the production and spreading of art texts and entering several archives for republications.

[NL] is een kunst-kritiek-platform geworteld in Groningen, NL. We geloven in langzame reflectie, in duurzame kritiek, en de kracht van uitgebreide overpeinzingen en overwegingen - en wensen weg te bewegen van "actualiteiten" en gehaaste teksten.

Op het moment faciliteren wij de productie en verspreiding van kunst-discursieve teksten; Aan de andere kant duiken wij in de archieven voor herpublicaties.

ZANDBANK ISSUE #01
various authors, 2025

Issue #01 is a collection of texts by artists, curators, and writers—woven together through shared interests such as speculative fiction, ecology, technology, and ethics. This magazine grew through collective engagement, shaped by group feedback sessions rather than a top-down editorial process.
