With an annual summer exhibition, WIELS wants to emphasise on one of the least visible, but most important aspects of its operation: the residency programme, established in 2008.

In 2011 Sarah Vanagt (1976) and Katrien Vermeire (1979) placed a camera above the spot where nine victims were buried after their execution by Franco’s supporters in June 1939. On day one of the excavation, a digging crane gently loosened the top layer...   [more]
