Flight or Fight.

The brothers Franck and Gerard Sonnemans both chose artistic professions to gain a grasp on and provide commentary about the developments in the world around them. This seemed to be where the similarities in their work ended. Gerard writes youth books about heroes and victims (but often heroes become victims, or vice versa...). Franck creates sculptures and paintings with a philosophical background, often inspired by the horrors of World War I. However, they discovered more content-related kinship between their works when Gerard wrote a book set in Vluchtoord Uden during that war.

The exhibition 'Fight or Flight' in Uden shows how Franck and Gerard, each in their own way, have processed the displacement and alienation of war refugees or soldiers at the front into artistic expressions. They aim to prompt viewers/readers to reflect on the insanity of war and violence.
This web quest not only stimulates that thought process but also challenges you to translate it into your own artwork.
