something new
every day is new
after the night, a new one begins
fresh as spring
or damp from a rain shower
perhaps white with snow
or with an optimistic sun
actually, everything is always new
every hour, every minute, every second
even if it doesn't always feel that way
like when you're sitting in class
and your mind just
doesn't want to be there
but you see it if you look closely
always something new, which you
are sometimes happy about
and sometimes not at all
new friends
who can really make you laugh
but some adults
well, you'd rather not have them around
but everything, your everything is always new
you can learn something from it
or just turn your back on it
pretend it isn't there
or finally understand
that it is actually quite beautiful
always something new again
and that is exactly what
happening inside you too
always something new
new cells
new experiences
new thoughts
new emotions
so keep your eyes and your heart
always wide open
to all the new things that
come your way and ask you questions
again and again you are free
to have an opinion or none at all
so keep looking, listening, feeling
to truly understand
what all that newness, time and again,
is trying to mean to you
get it?
The exhibition is on display in the ground floor hallways of A Lab and is free to visit every weekday until September 30, 2026, between 9:00 AM and 5:30 PM.
A Lab is opening its doors!
With the Canvas Collective, we are making space for work that deserves to be seen. Work that challenges, inspires, asks questions, or offers fresh perspectives. Four times a year, we give creators the opportunity to showcase their work in the ground-floor hallway of A Lab. Curious? Click for more info and sign up!
