“There are stains. What are we to do with them? Her sweat has turned brown with time and its acid has etched itself into her white cotton shirts and the lining of dresses. Skin oil has darkened the fingers of leather gloves, and her idiosyncratic walk has shaped the heels of her shoes. Her clothes have been recording devices.” – excerpt from The Warp and Weft of Memory, 2018.
In her latest multi-faceted work, Renée Turner explores the contents of Gisèle d’Ailly van Waterschoot van der Gracht’s closet. Although Gisèle passed away in 2013 at the age of one hundred, the traces of her figure can still be sensed through the shape and wear of her clothes. Spanning decades, the range of garments illustrates her fascination with travel, textiles, and design. There are Greek woollen vests, a Chinese silk jacket and several dresses fashioned by the renowned Dutch designer Dick Holthaus. All were meticulously itemized in Gisèle’s own wardrobe inventories. As Turner notes, “Gisèle was a taxonomist of her own life.”

Is it important that Obama and the Government of the United States disclose images of bin Laden’s corpse? Is the President’s verbal description of the burial and death of bin Laden enough?
Castrum Peregrini heeft een Europese project, European Academy of Participation, in samenwerking met het Goethe Institut Lyon, toegekend gekregen. Dit zal haar in staat stellen om aan het lokale programma, dat gestoeld is op erfgoed en hedendaagse kunst, een internationaal aanbod toe te voegen op het gebied van diversiteit en engagement. Ook deze thema’s komen zowel voort uit het verleden van Castrum Peregrini, als de urgente maatschappelijke vraagstukken van vandaag. European Academy of Participation wil theorie en praktijk van omgaan met ‘het ander’ en ‘artistiek engagement’ bij elkaar brengen door middel van denktank meetings en nieuwe educatieve modules die gezamenlijk aangeboden worden door diverse Europese universiteiten, kunstacademies en culturele instellingen. Castrum Peregrini en Goethe Institut hebben het voortouw genomen voor dit driejarige samenwerkingsprogramma voor 10 instellingen uit 9 Europese landen.
In mei 2016 zal de volgende uitgave van het inmiddels bekende one-off tijdschrift (Memory Machine II) verschijnen. De distributie zal ook in de volgende editie weer 110 000 lezers bereiken. In De Gids kun je unieke literaire beschouwingen lezen die aan het activiteitenprogramma van Castrum Peregrini gekoppeld zijn.
