‘The Earthbound” takes the shape of a film programme that revolves around the idea of the human being inextricably bound to the Earth, its soil and its ecosystems. Differentiating between ‘the world’ as the social construct of a manmade and human society, and ‘the Earth’ as an assembler of living and inert, human and nonhuman, the programme aims to confront the persistent and often feigned disconnection between humankind and the Earth.
Niekolaas Johannes Lekkerkerk (Rotterdam, 1988) works as a curator and a writer. He has worked at a number of institutions including SMBA (Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam) and DRAF (David Roberts Art Foundation), and is currently active as Curatorial Fellow at TENT in Rotterdam. His recent exhibition projects include the group exhibition “The Museum of Unconditional Surrender” (2015) at TENT, Rotterdam; the group exhibition “Percussive Hunter” (2015) at Akbank Sanat, Istanbul; the group exhibition “John Smith, the Posthuman” (2014) at the Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht and the group exhibition “Shadows of a Doubt” (2013) at Tallinn Art Hall, among many others. In October of this year, Niekolaas participated at the first Curatorial Program for Research immersive research trip to Estonia and Finland hosted in collaboration with ECADC.
