zandbank



is a platform for writing from and on art. We facilitate the production and dissemination of research and writing, both contemporary and archival. We believe in slow reflection, in sustainable criticism, and the power of extensive contemplations and considerations - and wish to move away from "actuality" and rushed writings. We are rooted in Grunnen [Groningen], Netherlands and founded by Dinnis van Dijken & Michiel Teeuw in 2024.

You can find us on pixelfed, instagram and contact us at platform.zandbank[at]gmail[dot]com.
