On 24 October, from 5 to 7pm, Paul van der Velde and Bert Jansen will give a talk about Salon O, an art space in Leiden from 1979-1981 that showed performances, installations, photography, film and video. The founders of Salon O, Paul van der Velde & Bert Jansen kept close contact with Wies Smals and Josine van Droffelaar in de Appel. Artists like Dale Frank, General Idea and Michel Cardena have a clear overlap in the programme of Salon O and de Appel’s.
