COMING SOON to Het Hem in Zaandam: Chapter 4OUR: ABUNDANCE ~ by writer, activist and philosopher Simon(e) van Saarloos (DAI, 2020). The artworks in the exhibition have been compiled together with Vincent van Velsen.
In this chapter Simon(e) takes up a challenging hypothesis: we are trained to think from scarcity, a principle that not only dominates the economic system but also permeates social structures, creating value on the basis of comparison, hierarchy and categorization.
Simon(e) proposes to break this scarcity doctrine by thinking from abundance. Abundance strives towards the centralization of many different stages, artists, bodies, art forms and stories — all at the same time.
