Eight international artists are working in ARTIS between March 11 and June 24, 2022. The artistic research is part of Machine Wilderness, an ongoing research programme by Teun Karelse (FoAm) and Alice Smits of Zone2Source. The artists, also known as ARTISTs, each stay at ARTIS for a few weeks and work at various locations in the park.

After the program in ARTIS (click here for the programme in ARTIS until 24 June), the artists will present the results of their work for two weekends in the Glazen Huis of Zone2Source.
