Rossen, Daisy Smith, Tobias Thaens, Joppe Venema, Katie Watchorn, and Leah Zhang.
Especially for Woonhuis, permanent art works have been installed by Nina Canell, Chris Evans, Tild Greene, Philipp Gufler, Frieder Haller, Cecilia Bjartmar Hylta, Clémence de La Tour du Pin, Brianna Leatherbury, and Marina Pinsky.
