The man who helped Halbe Zijlstra theoretically and ideologically to handle the art industry, the economist Pim van Klink, has recently hated a hat. He finds that the artist is the economic pariah of this time. The usual economic laws do not apply to art production. Finally, he is behind now. With artists money is a means, not a goal. The artist has another purpose; The artist tells something. And please feel completely in your own way.

The Amersfoort artists know about this. The cultural breeding ground De War is reversed by economic motives. In another place, in the former Noackfabriek in Amersfoort, more than 30 artists have to find a different accommodation. Real estate development takes precedence. It seems that nobody in the municipality wants to provide artists with shelter. Art in a museum is up to now. But producers of art? No one has a message. Amersfoort, 1st artist-free municipality!

Bye-bye Amersfoort is an exhibition of Amersfoort artists. Not in Amersfoort but in … Yes, actually?
