SILENT DOGS BITE II

Silent Dogs Bite II continues from part I, but buries it beneath the skin. What begins as silence between two people settles into nerves, teeth, bones, and the spaces we inhabit. Dogs no longer guard our experiences aggressively; they sleep inside cavities with one eye open, appear in unexpected reflections, and linger in forgotten corners. These new works trace how decay becomes strangely inhabitable long before the discomfort can be named.

Come see the exhibition from 19-31 August 2026 at de Kurk, Arnhem or join our closing event August 30th with pop-up shop, performances by Sophia Speed and Lampje, and lino workshop.

In this walk-in workshop, create your own lino print from a simple drawing or symbol. Inspired by Silent Dogs Bite II, we’ll consider: without words, how would you picture a relationship (be it with a partner, friend, pet, family…)? A creature, an object, a gesture, a shape? Through carving and repeating your print, you’ll bring home a small talisman to decorate, protect, or remind you of alternative worlds.
