It looked like it was going to be something. With a church of huge Lego blocks and a programme that seemed to matter. But alas, Grenswerk, the festival that was supposed to bring the region around Enschede together, is no more. After three years. And it won't stop until 2013, like most art institutions, but already in 2012. Too much had to change for that to happen. The municipality made demands that the management could not meet. In particular, there is a demand for cooperation with 'partners in the Music Quarter', or the also already deeply conflicted National Reisopera and Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, which would not have gotten off the ground properly.
We'll put someone on it. More news tomorrow, as it is clear: there's something rotten in the state of Twente.
