Petra Hudcova and Peter Vink have both worked in a wasteland territory of Enschede (Krakralucha Park) for the period of two months. They were commissioned by the artists initiatives Studio Complex & Hangarrrrrr to develop site specific sculptures. They had a chance to observe the biodiversity and culture of this unique unoccupied and uncultivated urban space and created work in response to their stay. Their work will be presented during the Zuiderfestival which will take place on 25 August and 26 August.

Peter Vink: The remains of a concrete foundation located in the wasteland was the starting point of my work. I wanted to compete with the uncultivated nature of the wasteland and made the decision to make a light installation that marks a clear border between the traces of  human intervention and nature.  

Petra Hudcova:
The space that I found myself in could be perceived as unsettling the familiar terrain of cultural landscape, designed spaces, and the organisational logic of modernity. There are questions that I tried to ask such as what is nature within urban context and what political role do wasteland spaces play in current city development.  I used the language of signs and references to games to create a set of works that encourage the viewer to consider the possibility of play, rules and restrictions. I wanted my work to balance on the verge between the absurdity of rules and the idea of freedom. 

Opening:  Friday 25 August, 6 pm.
​Location: Cromhoffsbleekweg 69-75, Enschede


Program during the Zuiderfestival:
Friday 25 August:
6 pm - 10 pm : Opening reception. 


Saturday 26 August:
3 pm: Meet and greet the artists 9 pm: Meet and greet the artists
Peter Vink is supported by the Mondriaan Fund

'Wasteland Interventions' nieuwe werken van Petra Hudcova (CZ) en Peter Vink (NL)

Petra Hudcova en Peter Vink hebben in opdracht van de kunstenaarsinitiatieven Studio Complex & Hangarrrrrr sculpturen gemaakt voor het braakliggend terrein (Krakralucha Park) naast de kunstenaarsstudio’s. Ze hadden de kans om de biodiversiteit en cultuur van deze unieke, onbewoonde  stedelijke ruimte te observeren en werk te creëren in reactie op hun verblijf. Hun werk wordt gepresenteerd tijdens het Zuiderfestival, dat plaatsvindt op 25 augustus en 26 augustus.

Peter Vink: De overblijfselen van een betonnen fundering in het landschap was het uitgangspunt van mijn werk. Ik wilde de competitie aangaan met de ongerepte natuur van het terrein en maakte de beslissing om een ​​lichtinstallatie te maken die staat op het grensgebied van de sporen van menselijke bebouwing en de natuur.
