We warmly invite you to Limestone Bookstore in Maastricht for an Artist Takeover: Archipelagic Affects by Jan van Eyke Academie & Framer Framed resident Yornel Martínez Elías from 23–30 Sep. Archipelagic Affects reflects on how words connect worlds, and how forms of publishing practices generate new content and correlations.
Since November 2022, Framer Framed and the Jan van Eyck Academie have been exploring different possibilities of providing an artist coming from abroad an enriched residency experience. Together with Yornel Martínez Elías, the selected Jan van Eyck participant for 2022-2023, we focus on themes of interconnection, local-to-local exchange, and resource sharing between communities in the Netherlands and the home country of the artist in Cuba. We are happy to team up with Limestone Bookstore in Maastricht as the first location to host Archipelagic Affects, where we share moments of exchange and learning processes.
Limestone Bookstore will be transformed into an intercultural, pluriversal time-space. In addition to the works on display, we will host a multilingual poetry reading session led by Nanne Timmer, a transcontinental conversation between cultural critic Carlos A. Aguilera and writer and performer Martha Luisa Hernández Cadenas, as well as a collective zine-making workshop led by Yornel Martinez using recycled papers and old books collected locally by Limestone Bookstore and participants.
