This final season De Stu will take over the yellow space and part of the poolcafe (grote kas) at Weelde and transform it into ‘DeStroy’, a residence workspace for artists from multiple disciplines.
At Weelde, we will open the doors of DeStroy to a new artist every month. This artist will transform the space into their own research ground during their residency. The focus is to eternalize and embody the essence of Weelde. The artists will work on a project of their own choosing and in their own practice guided by curators from De Stu. The final results of the residency will be presented to the public in the last week of the month.
Apart from the residencies, we will also create an extension of
De Stu at Weelde, where we will host workshops, events, exhibitions, screenings and more.
