Bram Kinsbergen and two members of Parfois, Pieterjan & Jonas, started a new collective. Under the name of the ‘Antwerp Astronauts‘ they combine their powers “¬†to search the galaxy¬†for unanswered questions about the concepts of design and art.” Their first exhibition starts next Tuesday at the Rivierenhof in Antwerp, where they will be showing painting, drawings, furniture and some installations. For those who ¬†can’t make it, we’ll put some pictures and updates online soon!

In a galaxy far, far away,

three Astronauts boarded the same spaceship.

They started Antwerp Astronauts to search the galaxy

for unanswered questions about the concepts of design and art.

no planet is too far or no black hole too deep

With seats left for other astronauts to pick up on their journey.

They study destroyed civilizations and existing ones.

To take the good and usable parts to build their own civilization.

A civilization based on a common endeavor work

where persons with different backgrounds, different styles

can live together in their spaceship and join them on their way.

Only with hard work they can get further than anybody has ever been
