Duende’s former resident Roxane Borujerdi (FR) is one of the artists participating at the performance event ‘Who stole the tarts?’ at TENT. Rotterdam.

Who stole the Tarts? Knowledge, research and debate appear increasingly to be the pillars supporting contemporary artistic practice. In talks and performances young artists test the traditional forms of knowledge transfer. With Deirdre Donoghue, Roxane Borujerdi, Hedwig Houben, Abner Preis and The Dogs of Shame.

On Tuesday 11 May Duende will be the host of the ‘Culture-drink’ network meeting Kralingen/Crooswijk, organised by culture-scout Hoda Hamdaoui. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit our building and will be given a guided tour of some of the studios. Drinks and soup will be served afterwards, and if the weather allows it, the garden doors will be opened.

The Historic-culture initiative ‘Jamin back in Crooswijk’ will be present, to share the memories of the Jamin-factory and Crooswijk in the old days. After the reception at Duende, the outdoor exhibition ‘Crooswijkse slaapkamers’ of Erika Blikman will be inaugurated. You are invited.

Ronan Lane is an Irish born painter based in Rotterdam. He will share a studio with our former resident artist, photographer Lorenzo Casali.

Ronan Lane’s large scale oils are meticulously crafted abstractions that deal with the the transformation of reality into an associative reality, one loaded with inherent meanings. We find ourselves in a world where peoples understanding is biased through the sublimation of imperceptible messages that permeate every aspect of existence. His paintings deal with the transmission, and understanding of these codes.
