On September 30th, Koen Vanmechelen will give a lecture at Tabloo, where he will explore the importance of cross-pollination and interconnectedness. Tabloo, located in Dessel, Belgium, serves as a meeting center focused on radioactivity, the management of radioactive waste, and research into nuclear applications. The organization searches for answers for a more sustainable future through connection and participation.
Cross-pollination and Tabloo
Koen Vanmechelen constantly seeks cross-pollination with humanity and society. He works at the intersection of art, science, philosophy, community, and ethics; values shared by Tabloo. During his lecture the artist presents a new way of thinking about existential questions concerning individual identity and life, touching on current issues such as globalization, racism, genetic manipulation, and cloning. Reason why Tabloo invites Vanmechelen, to inspire their audience and to let them reflect on the challenges of our society today.
“Because cross-breeding is the one thing. We need to cross-breed across the borders if we do not want the world to perish. We need to think cosmopolitan. Nothing is as beautiful as joining with other cultures and taking energy from it.” — Koen Vanmechelen
