Is there a duty to be optimistic? And if so, how can it be fulfilled in these times?
At the beginning of this year I started an artistic research project with these questions as a starting point.
This project will contribute to my next book, which will be published by Ambo Anthos publishers in 2025.
In this context, I have the honor to invite you to my first solo exhibition in Arti et Amicitiae (Rokin 112, Amsterdam).
The work consists of:
> Plato sees opportunities
A series of TV interviews, currently in Arti and soon to be broadcast by Salto.
The first guests are the philosophers Jos de Mul, Frank Chouraqui and Maarten van Doorn and coach Tessa Deen, with whom I followed a session with a horse.
Watch the best moments here on YouTube or here on Vimeo.
> Wall text in Arti
On the walls of the society of Arti et Amicitiae I have applied a philosophical dialogue covering more than thirty meters.
> Audience research
Drop by and share your vision on optimism. Or complete this survey.
