Night of philosophy Fryslân, Leeuwarden

During the night of Philosophy Fryslân, on 11 April 2007, ideas were shared on the city, countryside, popular culture, coincidence, stupidity and freedom of expression. Spread over 5 rooms in Tresoar in Leeuwarden, there were lectures, debates, panel discussions, music and films. Columnists gave their straightforward comments from the sidelines. Media Art Friesland was present with audiovisual art to inspire and reflect. The seven minute long Frisian production ‘The boy in the attic’ by Bipolar was extended into a five hour long moving painting.
