Next summer Carine Meulders will say goodbye to wpZimmer, where for 14 years she drew the artistic outlines. In recent years, she has helped to develop wpZimmer into an international residence site with a solid network at home and abroad, where artists can develop their trajectory and work in a sustainable manner.

“I feel that it is time for a new chapter. In the light of the new policy that is coming up, it is a good time for wpZimmer to pass the torch and make room for other voices, new forms of work and organization and inspiring visions of the future. I do not yet have any concrete plans for the future, but I would like to continue working with artists,” she says in response to her departure from wpZimmer.

From September 2020 on, the artistic policy of wpZimmer will be taken up by a multi-voiced artistic team led by Helga Baert.
