The Window is a unique two-month Artist-in-Residence in one of the largest creative ecosystems in the Netherlands. The residency has no fixed format, because we want to give participants the space to discover and experiment. What we ask of them is that they reflect on the theme of "ownership" from their own perspective during their residency.

The exhibition Undercurrents explores the uses of urban spaces in Eindhoven and beyond, from controlled to self-organized, from non-spaces to appropriated spaces, and those that straddle in-between. Through photography, film, installations, and publications, we invite city dwellers to learn from urban wandering, the reclamation of streets, graffiti, and guerrilla urbanism. Hosted in Sectie-C, reclaimed artist spaces soon undergoing urban residential development, the exhibition hopes to create a space for discussing the interplay between planned structures and spontaneity within our urban landscapes. Are you ready to dive into the unseen?
Featuring work of: Hicham Gardaf (UK/MA), Deniz Sabuncu (TR), Bouke Bruins (NL), Wladimir Manshanden (NL), Florian de Visser (NL)
Curated by Nur Horsanalı (TR/NL) and Robin Vermeulen (NL)

Beauty and the Right to the Ugly is a cinematic experiment set in the multifunctional community centre Het Karregat in Eindhoven. Het Karregat, designed by architect Frank van Klingeren and completed in 1974, was constructed in the centre of a neighbourhood of new housing, seeking to encourage communal forms of habitation.
The design was an open-plan space wherein different activities and functions – a library, a school, a café, a health centre, a supermarket and communal area – would be connected as part of the same superstructure. This was intended as an experiment at a social level, to become a catalyst for bringing together the neighbours and enhance social contact through negotiation and conflict. It was kept functionally open in order to allow the users to shape the space.
Produced through multiple shoots, one of which one was open to the public, the film examines the development – and partial failure – of this utopian architecture, while conceiving and implementing a filming methodology that translates architectural premises such as ‘open’, ‘user-led’ and ‘participative’ into cinematic devices.
This (outdoor) film is organized through the Radicale Wegbereiders in cooperation with the van Abbe museum.

Workshop 2/3
The Power of Scent with Frank Bloem.
Guided by Nur Horsanalı.
There are various things that make you feel at home or belong somewhere. Besides rituals and traditions, this often relates to the physical environment, such as the type of decoration in a living room, the layout of streets in a city, or the smell of food. Think of the kitchen table next to the window, which brings you back to the moments when you talked with your father while he washed dishes. Or a narrow street with many trees, reminding you of your grandparents' neighborhood. Scent also plays an immensely important role in the character of a place and how comfortable and at home you feel.During the workshop, participants will learn how to pay more attention to their sense of smell. We will explore scents together that represent a feeling of 'being at home' for the participants. Which scent(s) are important to you? Why is that? And how can you use scents to feel more at ease? Participants will work towards creating their own scent library during the workshop.
Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided during the sessions, along with lunches and dinners (depending on the schedule). The outcomes and processes of the workshops will be documented, and the photos will be shared with you afterwards.

Workshop 1/3
Genius loci with Jord van den Berg
Guided by Corradino Garofalo.
Genius loci is the Latin term for 'spirit of a place'. Participants will search for what binds together all the individual elements that contribute to the feeling of home. Is there a 'spirit of a place'? And if there is, can we understand it and share it with each other? Under the guidance of Jord van den Berg (NL), participants will explore patterns, similarities, and rules that underlie the feeling of home.
Jord van den Berg is a physicist and educator. Additionally, he is a member of Stordes, a strategic design studio that examines organizations as 'works of art'. As an outsider, he will lead participants to explore a completely different perspective to discover what the 'organization' of 'feeling at home' could be. Can it be captured in an algorithm or formula that could be used to make Eindhoven feel more like home more quickly for themselves and all other newcomers?
Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided during the sessions, along with lunches and dinners (depending on the schedule). The outcomes and processes of the workshops will be documented, and the photos will be shared with you afterwards.
A new performance 16-17-18 December in the theatre of Carte Blanche at Sectie-C
Peter van Loon, together with Johnny Mirer, tackles the absurdity and regulations of healthcare. What is it like to have to deal with all the ins and outs of present-day healthcare? Full of humour and movement, they make this performance a gem. Based on the experiences of a participant of the Workshop.
Heethoofd is a concept by Johnny Mirer and Peter van Loon and is played by Peter van Loon.
Performances 19 and 20 November in the theatre of Carte Blanche at Sectie-C
Direction: Liesbeth Reeser
Performance: Stefan Jung and Rob Krikke
Stefan and Rob play a father and son based on their own experiences. What is it like to grow up and get older. And what is it like to grow older with a child with a disability. Or to discover that your father is also getting older and more vulnerable. A performance for everyone who is or is not dealing with this. Recognisable and touching.
In October 2012, the door opened, and the amp turned on. After a rehearsal or 800 by dozens of bands, the time is here: Anker Studios has existed for 10 years, and this deserves a celebration.
So block September 17th in your agenda from 16.00 till 01.00 and keep an eye on our website for the full program.
The Wave is organizing a clothing swap on the 17th of September at THE POOL at Sectie-C. Bring clothes that no longer match your aesthetic and rummage for new diamonds to enhance your current one.
We are also hooking up with local organizations that might be in need of your diamonds.
So bring all that you can share and we’ll see you at 14:00 at THE POOL!

In the summer you want to be free and do whatever whenever. Therefore, we are presenting an 24/7 exhibition at THE POOL. In the summer, Tessa Koot and Frits Achten create an alienating and imaginative landscape in a large display window.
Tessa manipulates reality by juxtaposing ideas, images and concepts. Koot shapes a world that is not so much a display of various convictions but more a series of intersections between contemporary and imaginative life.
Frits on the other hand fills the space with a wonderful collection of intriguing objects. A decor that evokes memories of other continents and cultures, or a petrified garden from past times.
For those who have always wanted to know what cool things happen at Anker Studio, they open their doors on 23 July for everyone who wants to take a look.
THE POOL is Sectie-C's cultural clubhouse where everyone is welcome, where everyone is invited and where everyone is encouraged to meet and exchange. And therefore, it’s time for the first POOL PARTY. It wouldn’t be THE POOL if we didn’t create a meet-up.
The Mission + 575 provide the line-up where one has a "less is more" mentality and the other is not afraid to give something extra. Come join us on Sunday the 17th of July from 14.00.
Two new makers meet in THE POOL at Sectie-C, resulting in an exciting exhibition by JB Gambier and Tim Teven. Different work, different handwriting in one exhibition.
Visit THE POOL and don't forget to bring your swimsuit!
Open every Tuesday and Friday from 10:00 - 17:00
At the end of May, the 2nd edition of FotoFestival Eindhoven takes place at Sectie-C. After a successful pilot last year, exactly between two lockdowns, it is now time to honour the 'festival' in 'Fotofestival'. From 26 to 29 May, over 25 established names and new talent will show their work and transform Sectie-C into a cosy festival site. Besides beautiful and intriguing photographs, there will also be room for multidisciplinary artworks and challenging exhibitions that you should experience rather than look at.
Imagine - Creators, Reflectors and Dreamers is the theme. Is there anything left unphotographed in this age of internet, smartphones and algorithms? And how does this constant monotonous stream of images affect us? How strong is the human imagination anymore? Come and discover it during the Eindhoven Festival!
Join us for The Pool Party. Get an ice-cream, enjoy The Pool, bath in the sun and celebrate the new exhibition space of Sectie-C.
Friday the 6th of May from 17:00 till 20:00 we open The Pool on Sectie-C with an exhibition of Olga Flor and Willem van Hooff. Come and join us for a drink, an ice-cream and a beautiful exhibition.
We’re opening The Pool on Sectie-C with an exhibition of Olga Flor and Willem van Hooff. Visit the exhibition and don’t forget to bring your bathing suit!

First edition Eindhoven FotoFestival: 23 photographers show the theme 'Joy of Missing Out'. Don't miss it.
The past 18 months many photographers and other creative makers missed security and income. Lovers of art and culture missed the events. And everything was wrong in our society. At the same time, there was time and space, new inspiration and focus. What it yielded, the photographers and image makers show during Fotofestival Eindhoven. More urgent than De Vooravond, more stimulating than Easy Toys and tastier than Heel Holland Bakt.

Digital is the current standard of representation. One might wonder how do you actually perceive a three dimensional object on a screen. The image can be far away from reality as there is no way to experiance anything physically. So why bother? Papercut –– a take to this fast new reality of the need to adapt content. What happens when you turn a physical concepts to digital, whith the presented work made of cardboard cutout, as a means of replacement.

This year Oost-C presents itself in the large theater of Carte Blanche on Sectie-C. A larger than life exhibition where design and art meet. Where disciplines blur and separate elements come together in one ‘gesamtkunstwerk’.
The exhibition is not static. The composition of the objects is changed throughout the Dutch Design Week, creating a completely new image each day. These changes are recorded both live (in their movement) and at fixed moments (as still lifes) by photographer Lisa Klappe.
Studio Speciaal, the only design studio within Oost-C, takes the lead and curates the exhibition. The exhibition features work by artists Gijs van Bon, Tijs Rooijakkers and Frits Achten. In this exhibition Studio Speciaal will also present their new furniture collection to the public for the first time. This furniture collection is presented in an unusual setting and becomes alienated from reality by the objects around it.
The first edition of the Eindhoven Global Goals Jam gave organisations, small and big, a chance to think or rethink ways to deliver services and products in a sustainable and impactful way. Now that we have new concepts and ideas, what's next?
With this event we want to keep the momentum going. We'd kindly invite the organisations and people who joined the past event - but also new organisations, experts, government officials, creatives who might be interested in joining future editions- to join this Q&A to address the questions: what do we need to push sustainable innovation forward?
Sinds 2010 vindt op Sectie-C de ontwikkeling tot creatief ecosysteem plaats waar momenteel meer dan 250 ondernemers gevestigd zijn. Het ecosysteem met een uitgebalanceerde mix van makers en ondersteunende bedrijven genereert een plek die aantrekkelijk is voor experiment, ambitie en ondernemerschap.
Vanaf het ontstaan heerst er een unieke instelling van zelfredzaamheid en eigen regie. De kunstenaars, ontwerpers, muzikanten, schrijvers en ambachtslieden zien nagenoeg altijd mogelijkheden in plaats van beperkingen. Deze mentaliteit zorgt ervoor dat de hechte gemeenschap nieuwe ideeën, innovatieve producten en bijzondere oplossingen levert. Onverwachte ontmoetingen tussen de verschillende partijen kunnen daarbij frisse samenwerkingen teweegbrengen die iedereen laten groeien. Vrijheid heerst op Sectie-C en laat haar ‘bewoners’ op een originele en bewuste manier creëren.

Enjoy a 3-course lunch or dinner including matching drinks arrangement between the work of a designer at Sectie-C!
How will we dine in the year 2050?
Creative cook Eylien Lommen from LEF, Lets Explore Food will be hosting futuristic lunches and dinners at Sectie-C during this year's Dutch Design Week. Real food experiences held twice a day in four of our workshops for groups of up to 30 people.
During the lunches and dinners, guests will wear headphones that will bring them into a hypothetical future of food. The meals, the drinks, the whole dinner will be enhanced with headphones for a full sensory experience. Will this result in nostalgia, a dystopia or a utopia?
There's only one way to find out.
