The Delay, The Wait, The Repeated Sequence

The Delay, The Wait, The Repeated Sequence (December 2024 - January 2025) shares various interpretations on waiting. The exhibition contemplates the time we spend waiting, and considers the potential of time that seems to have stopped. What is there to be gained when we take time to rest and prioritize care – both for ourselves and for others? Is this where we might find the solution for pressing social issues, or does waiting keep us in a state of slumber?

Across the ferry, works can be found by artists Joakim Derlow, Julia-Beth Harris, Minhu Jun, Özgür Deniz Koldaş, Ramón Jiménez Cárdenas and Sophie Schreurs. Many of the works are interactive, offering multiple ways to spend your waiting time on the ferry. A zine in which additional interpretations of the theme are shared, written by Yasmine Ben Abdessalem, Remmelt Bot, Thierno Deme, Rowan Stol and Kübra Terzi, can be read in the waiting room of the ferry.
