Stroom Den Haag November 22, 2009 - January 17, 2010 During the past few years, Thom Vink has worked on a consistent body of work. His approach can best be described as a series of attempts to understand the city and its architecture as an organic process.

Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) November 20, 2009 - April 25, 2010 While traditionally a distinction is made between art books and theoretical, critical or biographical texts written by artists, this exhibition deals with artist's fictional text: academic fiction, literary fiction, political fiction and poetic fiction. Books that are written, produced and often self-published by artists, these works are a different sort of novel and fiction – works that are unlikely to be successful in the literary world. Instead, they were written out of necessity or compulsion: this is the malady of writing.
