STORY NIGHT
Čestmir Bergsma is a traveling storyteller who has been collecting stories for over 5 years now.
As a young boy he sat in his hometown, here in Enschede, dreaming about fairytales. So, when his chance came, he quit his life in The Netherlands and followed a journey that guided him to far away places and inspiring stories.
Čestmir began to improvise fairytales and write poetry when he was ten.In 2014 he won the third price of the Netherlands with one of his short stories in the contest named ‘Kunstbende’. Soon after he published his first poetry book .
At the age of 25 he has crossed over 30 countries where he walked the streets and asked people if he could write a poem for them to earn his meal!
Bergsma is writing poems, stories and fairytales with the intention of collecting many more when he goes again on his journey. But for now, he is back in Enschede to share some stories, enjoy the winter time and recollect old memories.

Čestmir Bergsma is een reizende verhalenverteller die 5 jaar heeft rondgetrokken.
Als een klein jongetje zat hij in hier in zijn geboortestad Enschede en droomde hij over sprookjes en dus toen hij een kans kreeg verliet hij zijn leven hier in Nederland en vertrok. Om een avontuur te volgen dat hem leidde naar verre afgelegen plekken en inspirerende verhalen.
Hij begon met het improviseren van sprookjes en het schrijven van gedichten toen hij tien was.
In 2014 won hij de derde prijs van Nederland met een klein verhaaltje in de wedstrijd genaamd ‘Kunstbende’.
Hij publiseerde zijn eerste gedichten bundel snel daarna.
Op de leeftijd van 25 heeft hij 30 landen doorkruist waar hij door de straten liep en vroeg of hij een gedicht mocht schrijven voor de mensen om zijn voedsel van de dag te verdienen.
Cestmir Bergsma schrijft gedichten, verhalen en sprookjes met de intentie om meer te verzamelen wanneer hij ons weer verlaat.
Maar voor nu is hij terug in zijn geboortestad. Om te genieten van de winterdagen en oude herinneringen te herinneren.

Azar Pajuhandé
Azar is an Iranian artist based in Berlin. 2010 she arrived from Iran to Germany and studied Fine Arts. The immigration and her part time jobs as a social worker with refugees confronted her with many situations of adaptation. It influenced her works as an artist. Her Work is predominantly about the Social Norms.
The internalising of the (new) social norms, the education and the control of nature is the starting point in Azar´s art. In different projects, Azar uses diversity of inspiration to research artistically about these themes. Questioning, how society controls the elements inside it and how are the traces of control on our physical bodies?
She is interested to work on the imaginary extreme side of education, which in her recent works, “Tree-Control”, enhance the radical control over a plant.
She will be working on her project in Tankstation. And you are invited to meet her and her works in the expo hall.

“Wonder feast”
You are invited to join us for a special evening with 7course meal, new expo opening and other cool activities!
-Expo opening
by Stof & licht – Zus stapel & Thomas chudoba
Enschede based visual creators Thomas Chudoba (1971) and Zus Stapel (1973) have been building an oeuvre of works together for the past six years. They worked each, individually, with (mostly) one medium, Zus with fabric and Thomas with light….but once they met, the chemistry started working and they felt working together would bring forth an image stronger and the duality that is created by working with two key materials invites a dialogue. This dialogue plays a constant factor between creation and creator and is of greatest value to the artists.
The fact that we are humans with a drive to express ourselves is an obvious drive for the artists as visual creators, but sharing the dialogue between creator and creation as two individuals gives the works a depth that surpasses art, experienced by the artists as a powerful flow of energy between two sources and a broad exchange of mental and emotional content.
Tapping into paired subjects such as male and female, yin and yang, physical and spiritual, reality of things and surreality of them, universal duality of everything. In the end they can bring it all back to two things… fabric and light, or better said, matter and energy.
Thomas Chudoba and Zus Stapel work from their studio at STUDIO COMPLEX and prefer a conscious, minimalist and low tech approach towards materials and expense.

LAST party of the year!
More info is coming soon!
Art @ table
“Portrait and form”
Johan Leerkotte (1949) started, after social studies in 1987, with drawing, in his own way.
Through total freedom and lack of steering he developed his peculiar and specific way of using flat chalk and other drawing material. He works without any plan and drawings arise very intuitively. Johan is also inspired by human body and portrait.
This exhibition is his first one ever in a retrospective of 20 years of drawings.

Nederlandse
Johan Leerkotte (1949) is na een studie in sociaal werk begonnen in 1987 met een geheel eigen tekentechniek. Door een gebrek aan sturing en controle ontwikkelde hij een eigenaardige en specifieke manier van het gebruik van plat krijt en ander tekenmateriaal. Hij werkt zonder een vooropgezet plan, en puur intuitief ontstaan er zeer originele beelden. Automatisch en willekeurig bewerkt. Johan is ook erg maatschappelijk betrokken en zo ontstaan zijn portretten. Deze tentoonstelling is de eerste ooit en een retrospectief van 20 jaar tekenen.
