Dear all,
We, the graduating students of the Experimental Publishing (XPUB) Master course at Piet Zwart Institute, would like to invite you to our graduation exhibition in Buitenplaats Brienenoord from the 3rd to 6th of July.
Over the last two years, we have been exploring what publishing can be and how we can express our ideas through various practices and methods. "Floating" are our movements of self-directed research, and our projects, that often overlap. Our works will be floating all over the island, with a variety of experiments, research, performances and so much more.
We hope to see you there!
Love, XPUB graduates

You can reach the island by foot, bike, public transport, car or watertaxi.

Access
The works are exhibited in and around the building of Buitenplaats Brienenoord. The indoor location is fully wheelchair accessible, including one of the toilets. One of the doors is fully flat, the others have a treshold, for which one moveable ramp can be provided. The outdoor areas have various surfaces: there is grass, concrete, wood chips and sand (which is currently quite loose), which means that not every area is as easily accessible by wheelchair. As long as it's not raining it's fine, if it is, you probably don't want to go through the sand parts with the wheelchair. If it does not rain, we can put two big wooden planks. Indoors, it can get very warm inside on hot summer days. It also can get quite noisy when a group of people gathers together. There will be a comfortable couch area that can be used to take a break or read one of the theses of the graduating students. Outdoors there is a lot of space to find rest: there are various benches, wood blocks and chairs available. Coffee, tea, water and lemonade will be offered at the bar, and we will provide a DIY buffet style food corner to appease rumbling stomachs when needed.
