Pascale Marthine Tayou


Yesterday morning Nienke and I went to Gent to talk to Pascale Marthine Tayou. It was a great meeting; what a fantastic energy he has. In one sentence, he can switch from very serious stuff (like identity politics) to a very funny joke in a second. It is so great to meet somebody who can be so positive and light about the whole postcolonial discourse.

He will come to the Bijlmer within two weeks to research the location. I cannot wait to meet him again.
