Introducing Michel van Dartel as the new figurehead at Route Kunst

Janneke Wesseling, who will soon retire, recently resigned from her duties as figurehead at Route Kunst. She was wholeheartedly supported by the Route Kunst steering committee in the proposal of Michel van Dartel as her successor.

Van Dartel is director of V2_Lab, a platform for art and media technology in Rotterdam, and lecturer at Avans Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology.

‘I experience the confidence that the route instills in me as an enormous stimulus, also for the work that I do as a director and lecturer’ says Van Dartel.

In this article he explains more about his work and his ambitions for Route Kunst.
