THE AFTERMATH: DEBATE ON ART IN PUBLIC DOMAIN

This summer the city council of Amsterdam objected to the JR exhibition. What followed was a very public debate about JR's work. Following the controversy, the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts - one of the sponsors of the JR exhibition - is organizing a debate on art and the public domain.

BOOK LAUNCH: MASTERS OF RIETVELD

This book contains an overview of a selection of great and important designers who have emerged from the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. This book is almost a work of art in itself, full of visual references ordered by form, as if it were a morph. The visual concept by Coralie Vogelaar refers to the idea of an encyclopedia as we once knew it before the digital revolution. The designer’s task today is not so much to make new images as to give new meaning to the bombardment of images around us.

Book launch: Saturday 27 October at 20:00

Contributors include:
Martijn Engelbregt, Anneloes van Gaalen, Mieke Gerritzen, Oscar Kocken, Ank van Loon, Geert Lovink, Rob Schröder, TINKEBELL, and more.
