'Curating the campus' is an evolving sculpture park. Every year since 2001 we have been offering a place to a leading artist whose work in one way or another endorses the mission and identity of deSingel.
Joelle Tuerlinckx' exhibition 'After Architecture After' was on at deSingel from 13 October to 19 November 2006. It was the third time an artist had been included in the architecture programme, following Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster's 'Alphavilles?' (2004) and Aglaia Konrad's 'Iconocity' (2005). The title, 'After Architecture After', refers to the second stage of perception, the after-image on our retina, but is also an allusion to the term 'after nature'. In the work she showed throughout the building, Tuerlinckx appropriated countless architectural elements (floor tiles, ceiling grill, barrier, signposting), distorting them and setting them in juxtaposition with her own archives. One of the works, 'Terrasse sur Terrasse', was kept after the exhibition and is now part of 'Curating the Campus'.
