Where is the village Delden and Perron1 (Platform1) ?

 

Draw a fictitious line from Amsterdam to Cologne and Düsseldorf and halfway is the village Delden (Overijssel) close to the border of Germany.

In the splendid nature surroundings of the manor Twickel, where a Medieval Castle can be found is the village of Delden. The village used to be called Stad Delden because of it's municipal rights from era 1500.

Now Delden is part of the 'Hof van Twente'  which is a joining of five small councils.

At the edge of the borough is the characteristic train terminal which was not so long ago a waiting room and Ticket office. Now the building is used partly as a design studio and in what once was a waiting room, the exhibition space from the initiative M.I.K.C, the gallery Perron 1.

The ticket office has been replaced by a machine and two times per hour trains from the direction Zutphen, Enschede and Germany pass by. The area is still a place where many people wait for trains and also the bus to come.

The project had been shown in the Netherlands at all the windows from the empty Town hall in Delden. There were projections of movies and slides. The Theme the international artists had to deal with was ‘Neighbors’. In the Dutch communities Neighbors are more and more the people you do not know. It is a time where your neighbors are not any more the only friends you have. The young people have there own social life and are not interested in the direct surrounding. What the project wanted was to connect the neighbors again by trying to save the empty building for art. All the neighbors made statements to keep the building and got again contact with each other. Also there were several international artists that showed other parts of the world as being our far away neighbors. The Town hall has been a big outdoor cinema for three weeks December 2009/jan.2010.
