I have money in the bank. I am a magnet for my dreams and goals. Everything I do turns into success. I am present. I am strong. I am achieving my dreams. I have a seat at the table. I have a piece of the pie. Every day, I get closer and closer to my goals. I am the best artist. I attract what I want.
“What sense it makes for these two mornings to exist side by side in the world where we live, should this be framed as a question, would not be answerable by philosophy or poetry or finance or the shallows or the deeps of her own mind, she fears.” —Anne Carson, “1=1”
We exist in the wake of the entire world. In the exhibition entitled Big Fortune, the artists think against the hubris of individuality as a given, opting rather to be in community all the while thinking of what constitutes fortune. In an attempt to be in conversation in an intimate space like Woonhuis, the artists bring together works and thoughts-in-progress.
Woonhuis was the former caretaker’s house of De Ateliers and has now been converted into a project space. Three floors and almost 200m2 offers room to international artists to think, work and exhibit. Woonhuis began its exhibition programme in May 2023.
