In 1974, artist Reinjan Mulder photographed 52 locations, chosen by overlaying a coarse grid on a map of the Netherlands, to capture the objective reality of his country. 42 years later, Cleo Wächter (born 1993) rephotographed these locations. Both sets of photographs are included.

Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920-2005), known as Constant, was a founding member of the Cobra group and the Situationist International, and the artist behind the utopian architectural New Babylon project. This publication examines his practice in the 1950s and his transition from Cobra to New Babylon. In this decade, the fantasy figures of Constant's Cobra period were followed by abstract painting, a transition from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional plane with the architectural models and sketches made for the New Babylon project, and ultimately a return to painting with the color experiments that he pursued from 1969 until his death in 2005. Constant: Space + Colour gathers rarely seen works alongside a short selection of texts written between 1949 and 1965, which provide a glimpse into the radical transformations of these years.

Since the 1980s, letters, words and short sentences have provided artist Marc Ruygrok with the building blocks of his work. Where is Here presents a virtual retrospective, including his monumental spatial work made of three-dimensional letters. The accompanying essays treat his work from a multi-disciplinary perspective: psychoanalysis, ethnology, linguistics and architecture.
