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.
