LAB

Within the work of Tom van Veen we see a recurring theme with contemporary icons, collective memory and interconnectedness.

The effect of the artworks on the viewer can be seen as mimesis and something we cling to to direct ourselves. This art game revolves around the symbol, how it can touch the human being. It is something that is in the paintings, but is not immediately visible.As part of the exhibition, you as an audience can interact with or comment on the works. Join the conversation with human councillor Freek van Veen. In this way, the artist wants to create a safer space where the individual and the group become collective and can share their stories (relation to recognition of the work) in a search for openness in mental health.
