Stroom Den Haag proudly presents Positions: Gut Feeling. For this fourth edition, guest curator Travis Geertruida has invited four artists to transform the Stroom exhibition space into a theatrical stage. Participating artists Lakisha Apostel, Elvis Chen, Filipp Groubnov, and Wessel Verrijt invite visitors into a wondrous ‘theater of affect’. Over the past years, Stroom’s program Positionshas become a vibrant platform for The Hague-based artists and the urgent issues they address.
Each artist presents an installation that embodies a different world, different ideas, and different ways of working. Positions: Gut Feeling invites the viewer to enter these worlds and to read between the lines, look sideways, and up. Notice the play between wet clay and electric wires, weathered wood and static-filled screens, rusted steel and polished aluminum, ripped paper and thrifted fabrics. The artists’ play seems haphazard, yet rich and meticulous. Are there hidden connections? Can the body be trusted? What is your gut feeling? The result is an exhibition that allows for wonder and active imagination, where unexpected materials and forms create a space for discovery and fascination.
