Eventless Events 1

When: Saturday, April 18th, 20:00. 2009


Where: Korsjespoortsteeg 11 & 12


Eventless Events 1 summons curators and artists, who have previously worked in a situation where they were expected to react to a particular environment/space/circumstance, as a way to generate a dialogue about the complexities of producing within a certain framework.
We start at Mounira Al Sohl's studio where Maaike Gouwenberg will present Mostly It Happens At Night, the project she recently organized in the Bijlmer for FLAT Foundation, in collaboration with Sandra van Dongen. Afterwards, we will hear from the artists Constant Dullaart, whose project bijlmer.me was an anthropological research on services offered in the Amsterdam suburb, and Maurice Bogaert, who developed the work Mostly Nothing Happens at All. Furthermore, the participants of the De Appel Curatorial Programme 08/09 will introduce Weak Signals Wild Cards, their upcoming project which takes place between the 27th June and the 26th of July 2009 in Amsterdam Noord. In this project thirteen artists and seven multidisciplinary thinkers will be commissioned to imagine and respond to the future of Amsterdam Noord, the ‘creative city’.
The evening will be continued at Alexis Blake and Niels Vis' studio with the screening of the documentary Grey Gardens (1975) - a story of a mother and daughter, who defied the norm by living as recluses in their dilapidated 28-room mansion. Some called them crazy, while others believed them to be prophets.
