Ateliers, fertiliser for the city

Dear tenants,

More and more activities are taking place in our studio buildings. In this newsletter we would like to highlight some of them for you.

The exhibition 'Ateliers, fertilizer for the city' by photographer Frank Hanswijk is on display in the SKAR studio on Mauritsstraat. To underline the importance of the studio as a space for artistic production, he has portrayed several studios with portraits of and interviews with the artists. This presentation and the accompanying manifesto by the photographer are part of the long-term project #waarwoontjehuis, in which Frank Hanswijk examines Rotterdam's housing policy. The presentation is accompanied by a publication that can be purchased from Frank, NAi Booksellers or Van Gennep bookshop.

Attention! Only to be seen this Friday 22 April from 11.00-18.00 Mauritsstraat 167

Raoul Deleo wins Woutertje Pieterse Prize

Great news about one of our tenants: Raoul Deleo (tenant studio building Nesserdijk) and Noah J. Stern are the winners of the 35th Woutertje Pieterse Prize for the most beautiful children's book of the past year. They receive the prize for the book Terra Ultima, published by Lannoo publishers. The prize is accompanied by the sum of € 15,000.

With colourful, detailed drawings, explorer Raoul Deleo reports on his expeditions and the amazing animals and plants that he found on a new continent after years of searching. Fellow explorer Noah J. Stern was given access to Deleo's archives and compiled a selection of prints and notes so that the whole world can form an image of this fascinating new continent.

The jury on the winner: "It is a book that can be read as an ode to the imagination and that dances on the high waves of the adventure between appearance and being. A book that offers an unforgettable reading experience to old travellers and makes young hearts beat faster."
