The Dutch artist Wapke Feenstra develops collective projects and pushes them in and out of the art bubble by tapping into local knowledge in the immediate physical and mental environment. She
wants to stretch central cultures by breaking open the clichés we think we know. This can create a “stretched space”.

She is a co-founder of Myvillages (2003) and from 2019 initiated within Myvillages the Rural School of Economics - an infrastructure for collective learning.

The Mondriaan Fund supports the divers collaborations and exhibitions.
