sen lin mu - 2017
Every month Bart Drost opens his studio - for this occasion called MAAS - to fellow artists. Every now and then he is making projects within this framework. In September 2017, he invited Zhixing Jia, Ernie Bossmann, René van Haren, Silvia Schildkamp, David Kroese and Reinier Kroese to work with him on the project 'sen lin mu' ('forest timberland wood').
Situation sketch: the main entrance of MAAS at the Graafseweg 183A is hidden behind al lot of green. Three acacias tower high above the former milkery. This has consequences: the neighbors have no more sun on their back terrace and there is an abundance of falling leaves. But what's worse: the roots threaten the foundation and hide the sewage. Therefore, the trees were caught on Monday, September 11th. This - though sad - event was transformed into the project: sen lin mu.
