On Monday, May 18, studium resort will be dedicated to the hobby of playing board games. That evening, visual artist and scenographer Maze de Boer will be a guest. During the program 𝘙𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘞𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵, we explore how play is not only a subject, but also a way of working, thinking, and seeing.

The evening opens with a conversation between host Ellis Kat and De Boer about his practice and about play as a creative driving force. What role do board games play in his way of working? And how does the tension between rules and freedom translate into his artworks?

The second part of the evening consists of a workshop in the form of a collective board game session. Participants are invited to invent, adapt and test rules themselves using different game boards from De Boer’s ‘Play’ series.
