NOW LEAVES was especially published for Qualities of Violence and is realised by Book Works and Wysing Arts Centre in cooperation with de Appel arts centre and Extra City Kunsthal.

Dean’s works arises from his writing. He gives a physical form to a language which he has himself developed, based on a series of typographic alphabets which he designed himself. The images are therefore cryptic for the viewer – in fact inscrutable and impossible to read – but that is precisely what fascinates Dean: how can you transform spoken or written language into physical objects? His works are accompanied by short, poetic texts. Language and images are strongly connected in Deans work.

The performance will take place at the exhibition space of de Appel arts centre and is made possible by De Ateliers. The Exhibition Qualities of Violence will be open and can be visited before the performance.

At bar-restaurant MOES, located in the basement of de Appel, you can have dinner or a snack after rhe performance. See www.totmoes.nl for more information.
