Une quarantaine is a paper, rising from the stagnant water of the historically unprecedented corona crisis, a period where a brawling, swirling community is forced to anchor.

Quarantine, about 40, means not just the number of days docking ships had to wait to enter Venice in the time of the Black Death, it’s also the number of artists from the wider waters of the arts who found a way to come together physically, on paper, in this edition. Every participant sails their own course in confinement, navigating through the narrow channels of this historic and cultural moment, with little more in sight than an insecure future. The visual, textual and conceptual contributions in this paper were complied by Jeroen Los, William Ludwig Lutgens and Kasper De Vos.
