From September onwards Off the Grid welcomed The Hague-based international collective of artists ( ) in the Mountain.
( ) in the Mountain is a collective of eight recently graduated artists from various Dutch art academies. As a group of internationals, their practice explores the reality of working as an artist in a country away from. How to find comfort in each other’s company, and create the conditions allowing for a common creative process to arise, are among their key commitments. “We are concerned with sensitivity, open-endedness and honesty, as something that binds us together”.
In the context of their residency at Off the Grid, they will develop How to Build a House with a second Chapter titled Windows and Doors.( ) in the Mountain ask themselves, when we look outside the structure of a home, what are we looking for?
Their practice welcome what is often omitted, hidden, or pushed aside, giving themselves and others artists a space for the quiet, for all that often does not make its way to the forefront. The collective attempts to bring their art practices closer to their living environments. ( ) in the Mountain was established in August 2022, and is currently based at De Besturing, an artist studio complex in The Hague, NL.
The collective will contribute to the Seasonal Opening at Off the Grid on Thursday September 12th, with the soft launch of their residency period.
( ) in the Mountain’s residency is kindly supported by Stroom Den Haag.
