Grasnapolsky is a winter festival surrounded by nature. The festival is held at Radio Kootwijk a beautiful building with a rich history. Grasnapolsky is a music festival that focuses on indie and electronic music.
Radio Kootwijk was a shortwave transmitter site starting in 1918. The transmitters played an important role in the 20th century as a communication facility between the Netherlands and its then colony of Dutch East Indies. Due to the development of new technologies like satellite communication, Radio Kootwijk lost its position as main overseas wireless connection point of the Netherlands. In 1980, the last transmission mast was blown up.
The connection with the past and the other side of the world was the main inspiration for the artwork. Centring around a pink moon, traveling around the world. The moon that's seen by everybody, old, young... rich, poor.
