Since it is our one year anniversary, the writer Willem van Zadelhoff and Amsterdam Poets will speech on the topic of 'Cultural Speech' at 19.00.
The photography of Lucian Wester depicts the alienating character of contemporary city life. Wester extricates places in the urban environment which remain unnoticed when passing by. Concrete walls, desolate viaducts, and worn-out corners are the subject of his rambles through the city's periphery.
Lucian Wester (1986, lives and works in Rotterdam) obtained in 2011 his BA from the St. Joost Academie in Breda. Currently, he is pursuing his MA at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. In 2011 he was nominated for the St.Joost Penning. Previously, his work has been showed in the CKE in Eindhoven.
