Dear Friends of The Curaçao Museum,
Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) and The Curaçao Museum invite you for an inspiring Artist Talk with the current Artist in Residence at IBB, Chant van Lieshout.
On Thursday, November 7, 2024
From 19:00 until 21:00
The Curaçao Museum
Chant, just like IBB, was also a participant in the celebrated Bosch Parade (in Den Bosch) this past summer with ‘Isteria Archipelago’ together with the Moss Social Club.
About Isteria Archipelago
Isteria Archipelago is drawn forth by organisms prone to pollution; they are exploited like slaves to their own destruction and demise. Two deformed fish roam the island, attempting to harness the destruction and turn it into something new, something beautiful, something hopeful. Although the pollution takes on terrible forms, every creature tries to take care of all the little worlds in which they find themselves and together they build a better universe.
During her residency on Curaçao, Chant is actively collaborating with IBB students, engaging them in creative exploration and hands-on projects. Her work, including “Sunflower, Mosquito, Knot, Coot”, reflects a fascination with the overlooked – from insects to found objects – and channels vulnerability, playfulness, and compassion into powerful sculptures and installations.
Take part in this unique evening and witness Chant’s artistic journey and her collaboration with the next generation of Curaçao’s artists.
On this evening you will also have a chance to view the exhibition Introspectives which also forms part of the international collaborative project ‘Your Contemporary Demons’ developed by six organizations from the Netherlands and Curaçao; Bosch Parade, Willem Twee Kunstruimte, Instituto Buena Bista Curaçao (IBB), The Curaçao Museum, Connections and St. Joost School of Art & Design.

Instituto Buena Bista
The Instituto Buena Bista, Curacao Center for Contemporary Art, IBB, started in 2006 as an artists initiative with the goal to create a solid platform for art and art education.
As an art institute that offers preparatory training for young talents, the IBB deals with all the aspects of art and art education that make a follow up to an art academy or creative schooling possible. The educational components don’t limit themselves to the students but also cover a broad area of the Curacao and Caribbean art towards the local society. The social engagement and added value of art for the society is also very present in the IBB structure. Being situated on the premises of the Capriles psychiatric clinic is not only a statement of the social engagement of the IBB but also a reflection of the concepts that IBB strives to achieve as well; collaboration, exchange and development.
The clients of the clinic participate on a regular basis together with the students in workshops and classes. This, as part of an initiative by the clinic and the IBB to make the clinic more accessible to the public and to create more insight in the psychiatric world.Projects in public spaces have become a regular activity by the IBB. In these projects the students work together with patients of the clinic, students from other schools or people from organisations that participate in these activities.
The IBB students get a special role where they have to support and guide the participants and at the same time experience responsibility towards their creations and others.
