Alex van Stipriaan, Remy’s and Marcel’s community/ties  This presentation will be focused on two artists – Remy Jungerman (1959) and Marcel Pinas (1971) – who were both born in or around the small mining town of Moengo, Suriname. Although no more than twelve years apart in age, they seem to belong to different generations in their respective careers. Nevertheless, these career paths cross with increasing frequency, and Moengo is their meeting and workplace, as well as a point of reference.

Wales: Steve Geliot, Jo Fong,  Tanja Råman – ‘Trajectory’  In September 1963, Harold Wilson launched the idea of the 'University of the Air' which became The Open University (OU), receiving its Royal Charter in 1969. To celebrate the role of research at the OU, an innovative arts commission was launched for artists and curators of all media to deliver one of four art projects around the themes of design and technology, arts and humanities, science and social science. Each project is based in one of the four UK nations: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
