NDSM XNDSM X BART EYSINK SMEETSLuister deze gloednieuwe podcast! Waarbij onze curator Petra Heck & Creative Producer Bram Kroon, n gesprek gaan met Bart Eysink Smeets en hem spreken over zijn praktijk, werkproces, en uitgebreid ingaan op They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot; een drietal auto-installaties op de NDSM-werf. In het gesprek snijdt hij verschillende thema’s aan, waaronder ''de botsing tussen mens en natuur''.
Met zijn scherpe, humoristische en onderzoekende blik vergroot Bart alledaagse verschijnselen uit en nodigt hij, vanuit een bijna kinderlijke verwondering, uit om opnieuw te kijken naar wat zich voortdurend om ons heen afspeelt.
