Initiators Wendeline Thole and Bob Konsten have been visiting the graduation exhibitions of the Dutch art academies for years and the exhibition at P//AKT shows their first selection. Apart from a professional interest in contemporary art, their personal ambition is to both advance the careers of young artists and provide the audience with some insights in their practice. Bougie creates a platform where artists, experts and art lovers can meet.
