ABOUT WOBBY.CLUB
Mission
Wobby.club is the platform for autonomous illustration, visual art, and literature in the Netherlands. It was originally founded in 2015 by Jeroen de Leijer, Marjolein Schalk, S.L. Trumpstein (Stephan de Weert), a group of artists rooted in the absurdist tradition in the Southern Netherlands. Wobby.club organises the risoprinted quarterly Wobby, the two-week course To Riso or Not, the Wobby Workout, and many more projects.
Wobby.club retrieves its income from the distribution of its magazine, art prints, and books, and is granted multi-annual support from Wobby’s hometown, the Municipality of Tilburg. We regularly collaborate with local and regional parties, such as De Pont museum, TextielMuseum, Kunstpodium T, Tilt, De Nachtzuster, Graphic Matters, MAKE Eindhoven, and TAC.
Team
Wobby.club’s core club members are Marjolein Schalk, Joan Bosveld, Bart Smout, Andrew Cartwright, and Boris de Leijer.
Board
Our board is unpaid and meets regularly. The members are: Klaartje Esch (chair), Mir Wermuth (treasurer), and Kelly van den Bosch (secretary).
Remuneration policy
Wobby.club actively promotes fair pay. The team consists of freelancers that are rewarded on the basis of the Guideline Job and Salary Structure for Visual Art Platforms. Wobby applies the rates of Dutch author’s rights organisation Pictoright to all contributors of the magazine. In other cases, artists are paid in line with the Residency Grant of the Dutch Mondrian Fund and the national Guideline for Artist’s Fees.
