Art about thinkers and writers

Kafka's oeuvre is fascinating but difficult to fathom. His life and work are closely intertwined, which is clearly evident in this exhibition. The work on display is as diverse as the group of makers: assemblages, drawings, paintings, and spatial works.

I can swim like the others, only I have a better memory than the others; I have never forgotten my former inability to swim. But since I haven't forgotten it, being able to swim is of no use to me, and I still can't swim.

Artists: Gerard Vroon, Peter Oosterhout, Helena Kaori Maeda & Frank Hietbrink, Katja Stam, Erica Roozendaal, Finn Moedt, Nanny Kok, Ellen Makkelie, Kyra Cramer, Janna Stieglis and Maarten van Schaik.
