Carlijn Kingma dissects the housing crisis at Brutus: who is pulling the strings?

Join us on Sunday 4th as we raise a glass to the Grand Opening and New Year with music, glühwein, and a collective toast to 2026.

The housing crisis is considered to be the social and political problem of our time. In a large, extremely detailed drawing entitled De machinerie van de volkshuisvesting (The machinery of public housing), Carlijn Kingma depicts who the players are, what mechanisms are at work in the background, and which buttons can be pushed. This new work forms the heart of the exhibition Fear of Falling.

In collaboration with Thomas Bollen, Martijn Jeroen van der Linden, Sarah van der Giesen, and Jackie Ashkin

The Grand Opening on 4 Jan 2026 marks a full circle moment!
Carlijn Kingma, once a Brutus resident, returns to Brutus Art Space where much of her work took form. Join us as we raise a glass to the new year with music, glühwein, and a collective toast to 2026.

We welcome you celebrating not only a new exhibition in collaboration with one of today’s most thought-provoking artists but also celebrating you as part of our Brutus community another year.

Further details and timing will follow soon.
Mark your calendar 4 Jan and be part of this special beginning.
